Let "L" represent the population of Linton
and "E" represent the population of Ellmore

12 times E = L
because "Linton is 12 times as great as .. Ellmore"

then E + L = 9646
because "the combined population is 9646"

since L = 12*E
we can plug that into the other equation and get:
E + 12*E = 9646
13*E = 9646 [by adding like terms]
E = 742 [by divided both sides by 13]

so now we have E
we can plug that back into the 1st equation to get L
12*(742) = L
L = 8904

so Population of Linton = 8904
and the Population of Ellmore = 742

If each quadrilateral below is a parallelogram, find the missing measures.

prisoha [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use parallelogram properties to answer our given problems.

(1) Since we know that opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent, therefore measure of side MN and side KN will be equal to the measure of their opposite sides.

LM=KN and KL=MN

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

45=KN and 31=MN

Property: The opposite angles of parallelogram are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary.

We have been given $m\angle N=119^{o}$ , therefore $m\angle L=119^{o}$ .

We will find measure of angle K by using supplementary angles.

$m\angle N+m\angle M=180^{o}$

$119^{o}+m\angle M=180^{o}$

$m\angle M=(180-119)^{o}$

$m\angle M=61^{o}$

By opposite angles of parallelogram $m\angle K=61^{o}$ .

(2) Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal. Therefore, CF=DE and FE=CD.

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

CF=10 and FE=15.

Property: Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.

So CE will be 2 times CG and GD will be half the length of FD.

$CE=2\times 7=14$

$GD=\frac{1}{2}\times 22=11$

(3) Property: Opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent.

$SR=PQ$ and $QR=PS$

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

$SR=24$ and $QR=19$

Property: Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.

So SQ will be 2 times TQ and PT will be half the length of PR.

$SQ=2\times 10=20$

$PT=\frac{1}{2}\times 42=21$

Property: The opposite angles of parallelogram are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary.

$m\angle PQR=106^{o}$

$m\angle PQS=m\angle QSR$ Alternate interior angles.

$m\angle PQS=49^{o}$

$m\angle QRS=m\angle QPS$ Opposite angles of parallelogram.

$m\angle PQR+m\angle QPS=180^{o}$

$106^{o}+m\angle QPS=180^{o}$

$m\angle QPS=180^{o}-106^{o}$

$m\angle QPS=74^{o}$

Therefore, measure of angle QRS will 74 degrees.

$m\angle PRS=m\angle QPR$ Alternate interior angles.

$35^{o}=m\angle QPR$

$m\angle RPS=74^{o}-m\angle QPR$

$m\angle RPS=74^{o}-35^{o}$

$m\angle RPS=39^{o}$

Now let us find measure of angle PSQ.

$m\angle PSQ=m\angle PQR-m\angle QSR$

$m\angle PSQ=106^{o}-49^{o}$

$m\angle PSQ=57^{o}$

The image is not clear, so I am unable to answer the last two problems.

Answer:

-$12

Step-by-step explanation:

Working backwards from the $63, you need to add back what was withdrawn and subtract what was deposited.

63+75+9+41+85-285= -$12

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use these two equations

A: y = 15

B: y = 2r + 5

a) set the equations equal to eachother for your first answer

15 = 2r + 5

B) solve for r

15 = 2r + 5

10 = 2r

5 = r

after 5 rides the cost will be the same
