Solve for the value of r.
(7r-5)
(6r+4)°

r = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

These are vertical angles, therefore, the measurements is the same. Set the two measurements equal to each other:

7r - 5 = 6r + 4

Isolate the variable, r. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 5 and subtract 6r from both sides of the equation:

7r (-6r) - 5 (+5) = 6r (-6r) + 4 (+5)

7r - 6r = 4 + 5

Simplify:

7r - 6r = 4 + 5

r = 9

9 is your value for r.

48 / 6 = x

in this case, x will equal the amount of money in each card!

x therefore will be 8.

trent had $8 in each birthday card.
