A science teacher ordered S2278 worth of microscopes and dissection kits for the new science lab. A total of 26 microscopes and 56 dissection kits were ordered. A microscope costs three times as much as a dissection
kit. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. What is the cost of each item?

Aright triangle includes one angle that measures 30º. what is the measure of the third angle? a. 30º b. 90º c. 60º d. 130º

Use addition and subtraction to simplify the following polynomials. a. add polynomials: (3 – 4x + 8x^2) + (–6 + 2x – 5x^2) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial. b. subtract polynomials: (3x – 5 – 7x^2) – (–2 + 6x^2 – 5x) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. remember to multiply each term in the second parentheses by –1. show your work. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial.

What value of x will make the triangles similar by the sss similarity theorem?
