The goal of the students in the club was to raise $500. They sold 43 flowerpots. By what amount did the students exceed their goal of raising $500?

Exceeded by 145 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you multiply 15 by 43 because each pot costs 15 dollars and they sold 45.

Then you get the answer of 645 and the goal was 500 so that means you need to subtract to see how much they exceeded by.

Subtract 500 from 645 and you get the answer of 145.

So they exceeded 145 dollars.

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
