Using proportions, it is found that their mom put 90 candies in the bowl.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

For this problem, the total amount is of x, hence, from the text:

  • Tom's fraction is \frac{1}{2}x.
  • Carlos' fraction is \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{2}x = \frac{1}{6}x.
  • Mary's fraction was of: \frac{3}{5} \times \left(x - \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{5}x

The remaining fraction after Mary was:

x - \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{6} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{30x - 15x - 5x - 6x}{30} = \frac{2x}{15}

This amount is of 12, hence the total number of candies was:

2x/15 = 12

2x = 15 x 12

x = 15 x 6

x = 90.

Solve using identities [0,2) cos2x=sinx
bekas [8.4K]
We have:

\cos 2x = 1 - 2 \sin^2 x

Thus:

1 - 2 \sin^2 x = \sin x

Adding 2 \sin^2 x - 1 gives:

2 \sin^2 x + \sin x - 1 = 0

Factoring gives:

(2 \sin x + 1)(\sin x - 1) = 0

Thus, we have:

\sin x = \frac{-1}{2}

or

\sin x = 1.

Note that because 2 \pi > 2, there will be no solutions y of the form 2n\pi + z for positive integer n and solution z.  So we find the basic values of x giving \sin x \in (\frac{-1}{2}, 1).

For \sin x = \frac{-1}{2} with positive x, x > \pi > 2 (this can be seen easily from the unit circle.  But x < 2, a contradiction.  So we examine the case in which \sin x = 1.

In this case, x = \frac{\pi}{2}.  So this is the only solution to this equation.

Substituting this back in, we have \sin \frac{\pi}{2} = \cos \pi = 1, as desired.  So this is a valid solution.

Thus, x = \frac{\pi}{2}.

Suppose point D is in the interior of ∠ABC
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

ABC = 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

ABC=12x - 110

ABD=3x+40

DBC=2x - 10

Required

Determine the measure of ABC --- <em>Missing part of the question</em>

<em></em>

First, we need to determine the value of x

Since, D is an interior of ABC, then

ABC = ABD + DBC

12x - 110 = 3x + 40 + 2x - 10

Collect Like Terms

12x - 3x - 2x  = 110 + 40 - 10

7x  = 140

Solve for x

x = 140/7

x = 20

Substitute 20 for x in ABC=12x - 110

ABC = 12 * 20 - 110

ABC = 240 - 110

ABC = 130
