Martha is taking the bus into work 3 times a week (12 times a month) for $4.50 a day. would it be better to continue to pay daily, or buy the monthly pass for $59?

Yes ,  it would be better to continue to pay daily .

Reason

As given

Martha is taking the bus into work 3 times a week (12 times a month) for $4.50 a day.

Buy the monthly pass for $59 .

Than

Cost that Martha pays 12 times a month = 12 × 4.50

                                                                   = $ 54

As the cost  that Martha pays 12 times a month is less than the cost of monthly pass .

Therefore it would be better to continue to pay daily .

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
