Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 16| less than/equal to 4

Means x can be between;

-4+16 and 4+16, i.e [12,20]

|y - 6| less than/equal to 2

Means x can be between,

-2+6 and 2+6, i.e [4,8]

x - y would be greatest when x is greatest and y is least:

20 - 4 = 16

Common ratio = 8/2 = 32/8 = 4

10th term  = a1*r^(n - 1)   where a1 = 2 , r = 4 and n = 10
                = 2 * 4^9

Two isosceles triangles are shown above. If b = 180-4a and a=35, What is the value of c?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

a=35 given

b=40  

c=110

I couldn't complete see c. Please look at the picture to see what I assumed it to be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hmmm... I guess a and b are not vertical.

We are given b=180-4a and a=35 so b=180-4(35)=180-140=40.

So b=40.

Isosceles triangles always have congruent base angles.  So let's call both of the base angles in the bottom triangle x.

That means x+x+40=180.

We need to solve this for x.

Combine like terms:

2x+40=180

Subtract 40 on both sides:

2x=140

Divide both sides by 2:

x=140/2

Simplify:

x=70

So I'm assuming that c and it's adjacent angle are sitting on a straightedge together which means 70+c=180.

70+c=180

Subtract 70 on both sides:

c=180-70

Simplify:

c=110

Please help me about this math
olga nikolaevna [1]
So to label the axes the number of people would be on the left and number of forks on the bottom. choosing your scale means how you would choose to count. the independent variable is the forks and dependent is the people. For the scale I would count by 2s for the x-axis and 1s for the y-axis.
