The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.
54°

Geometry

A right triangle adds up to 180°.

Make an equation to find x.

54°+x°+90°=180°

Add like-terms.

144°+x°=180°

Subtract 144 from both sides.

x°=36

good luck!

cutie~

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
