I can’t figure out this question

54

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 2x + 4 and Angle 1 are corresponding angles, meaning they are same. With this in mind, You know that 2x + 4 and 5x + 1 = 180 because any angle on a straight line cut by a transversal will always add up to 180. You can then use algebra to figure out x = 25, plug x back into 2x + 4, and get 54.

How to solve for X:

2x + 4 + 5x + 1 = 180 (Add like terms)

7x + 5 = 180 (Remove 5 from both sides)

7x = 175 (Divide by 7)

x = 25

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
