The number of sticks of gum varies directly as the number of packages. There are 36 sticks of gum in 2 packages. Suppose you have 5 packages of gum. The direct variation equation to determine how many sticks you have is giving you sticks of gum

Each packet gives you 18 sticks of gum. If you asked how many in 5 packets it would be 90 sticks.

x = 10.1

step-by-step explanation:

all of the angles of a tirangle add up to 180º

180 - 65 = 115 (since we already know the value of one angle)

(2x + 7) + (8x + 7) = 115

(combins like terms) 10x + 14 = 115

(isolate the variable subtract 14 from both sides): 10x = 101

(find the variable divide both sides by 10): x = 101/10

x = 10.1
