Question
Use the Law of Detachment to make a valid conclusion in the true situation.
If the measure of an angle is less than 90°, then it is an acute angle.
Hint:
Law of Detachment states that if p q is true and it is given that p is true then we can conclude
that q is also true. Here, the statement is termed as Hypothesis and the statement q is termed as conclusion.
The correct answer is: Hence, we are unable to conclude anything.
Consider the statement into two separate statements
p: The measure of an angle is less than 90°
q: The angle is an acute angle.
So we can write the given statement “If the measure of an angle is less than 90°, then it is an acute angle” as:
It is given that
𝑚∠𝑄 = 165°
Angle Q is greater than 90o which means the p statement is false and hence we cannot conclude anything.
Final Answer:
Hence, we are unable to conclude anything.

A man buys four books from the store and a Preferred Reader discount card for $20. Later that day, he goes back and buys five more books. He also got a $5 discount using his new card. If he spent a total of $87 at the bookstore, how much did each book cost assuming every book cost the same amount?

The x + 2 = 6 x+2=6x, plus, 2, equals 6 contains a variable. We call this type of equation with a variable an algebraic equation. Finding the variable value that will result in a true equation is typically our aim when solving an algebraic equation.
¶Variables or constants are the two types of measurable quantities. A variable is a quantity with a varying value, and the constant value is nothing but a constant.
¶Steps to writing Variable Equation
1) Identify the variables that represent the unknowns.
2) Convert the issue into variable expressions in algebra.
3) Determine the variables' values to solve the equations for their true values.
