Jonathan has a comic book collection. He tells you he sold half of them, but then bought 9 more new comics.
After this, Jonathan now has 81 comic books. How many comic books did he have before he sold some? a) Let b = the number of Jonathan had before selling some. Write the equation you would use to solve this problem.

Given: lines a and b are parallel and line c is a transversal. prove: 2 is supplementary to 8 what is the missing reason in the proof? statement reason 1. a || b, is a transv 1. given 2. ∠6 ≅ ∠2 2. ? 3. m∠6 = m∠2 3. def. of congruent 4. ∠6 is supp. to ∠8 4. def. of linear pair 5. ∠2 is supp. to ∠8 5. congruent supplements theorem corresponding angles theorem alternate interior angles theorem vertical angles theorem alternate exterior angles theorem
