Answer:

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let the number of small marbles be x

ii) let the number of medium marbles be y

iii) let the number of large marbles be z

iv) Amy has 5 times as many small marbles as medium marbles therefore we can write  5y = x

v) the number of large marbles is two more than than three times the number of medium marbles therefore we can write

   z = 3y + 2

vi) Amy has a total of 560 marbles therefore we can write x + y + z = 560

vii) Therefore from i) we can write x  = 5y

viii) using vii) and v) in vi) we can write

    x + y + z  = 5y + y + 3y + 2 = 560

ix) Therefore 9y = 558   .... therefore y = \frac{558}{9} = 62

x) Therefore from i) we get x  = y \times 5 = 62 \times 5 = 310

xi) Therefore z  = (3 \times 62) + 2 =  188

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Find the area of a 120° sector of a circle whose radius is 6.
katrin [286]
First, determine the area of the whole circle by the equation, A = πr². Substituting,
                             A = π(6²) = 36π
Then, multiply this value with the ratio of the given angle to the whole revolution,
                            A(sector) = 36π x (120° / 360°)
The area of the sector is therefore 12π units².

The first three steps of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x^2 +4x-6=0, are shown below
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: x=sqrt10-2, x=-sqrt10-2

Step-by-step explanation: square root both sides of the equation.

x+2=sqrt10,-sqrt10

subtract 2 from both sides of the equation

x=sqrt10-2, -sqrt10-2

A. 40x^2 + 240x + 200
Shape: Rectangle
Formula: A = LW
A = (10x + 10)(4x + 20)
= (10x)(4x) + (10x)(20) + (10)(4x) + (10)(20)
= 40x^2 + 200x + 40x + 200
= 40x^2 + 240x + 200

Width:
4x + 20 = 160
4x = 140
x = 35
Plug-In:
10x + 10
10(35) + 10
350 + 10
360 = Length

A = LW
A = 360 • 160
