2x-15=3(x-15) 
2x-15=3x-45
2x+30=3x
30=x

Let's check this work!

2(30)-15=3(30-15)
60-15=3(15)
45=45

She worked 45 hours each week

 *the reason it is 2x-15 and not 15+2x is because "more than" is considered a "turn around word" meaning it is the opposite

Guys!! anyone can help me solve this geometry problem?<br>What is the area of this triangle?
NeX [460]

Answer:

10657.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Long way that is unnecessarily long</h2>

We can start by finding the area of the larger triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can say that 251²-105²=the bottom side², and  251²-105²=51976, so the bottom side of the larger triangle is √51976 , or approximately 228. Then, the area of the larger triangle is √51976 * 105/2 = 11969 (approximately). Then, the area of the smallest triangle (the largest triangle - the one that we're trying to find the area of) is 105*(√51976-203)/2 = approximately 1312. Then, subtracting that from the total area, we get (√51976 * 105 -  105*(√51976-203))/2 = 105*203/2 = 10657.5

<h2>Short way</h2>

ALTERNATIVELY, upon further review, we can just see that the height is 105 and the base is 203, so we multiply those two and divide by 2, as is the formula for the area of a triangle, to get 10657.5

Properties of parallelograms <br> PLEASE HELP
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

m∠Q = 109°

m∠QRT = 109°

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1). "Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal"

By this property,

m∠Q = m∠S = 109°

2). "Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in measure"

By this property,

RQ║ST and diagonal RT is a transversal line.

m∠QRT = ∠SRT = 30° [Alternate interior angles]

3). "Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in measure"

RS = QT

2x = 8

x = 4

Tema [17]

Answer:

Option B. 212.1\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the central angle of the shaded sector

Remember that the diameter divide the circle into two equal parts ( 180 degrees each part)

so

Let

x -----> the measure of the central angle of the shaded sector

∠x+72°=180°

∠x=180°-72°=108°

step 2

Find the area of the circle

The area of the circle is

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=15\ cm

assume

\pi=3.1416

substitute

A=(3.1416)(15)^{2}

A=706.86\ cm^{2}

step 3

Find the area of the shaded sector

Remember that the area of the complete circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

so

by proportion find the area of a sector by a central angle of 108 degrees

\frac{706.86}{360}=\frac{x}{108}\\ \\x=706.86*108/360\\ \\x=212.1\ cm^{2}
