Answer:

y= 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AC= BC, △ABC is an isosceles triangle.

∠CBA= ∠CAB (base ∠s of isos. △)

∠CBA= 50°

∠ACB +50° +50°= 180° (∠ sum of △ABC)

∠ACB +100°= 180°

∠ACB= 180° -100°

∠ACB= 80°

Given that ∠ACB= (5y +10)°,

(5y +10)°= 80°

5y +10= 80

5y= 80 -10 (-10 on both sides)

5y= 70 (simplify)

y= 70 ÷5 (÷5 throughout)

y= 14

a rectangular lawn of dimensions 6x metres by x metres. In the centre is a rectangular flower bed of length (x + 4) m and width

alexira [117]

Answer:

The area of flower bed is 8.96 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of lawn = 6 x

width of lawn = x

length of flower bed = x + 4

width of flower bed = x - 1

Area of shaded region = 40 m^2

Area of the shaded region

6 x (x) - (x +4)(x -1) = 40

$5 x^2 - 3 x - 36 = 0 \\\\x = \frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9 + 720}}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-3\pm 27}{10}=2.4 m, - 3 m$

As length cannot have negative value, so x = 2.4 m.

Area of flower bed = (x + 4)(x - 1) = (2.4 + 4)(2.4 - 1) = 8.96 m^2

Answer:

Switch justifications for step 2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When x/2 = 7, Joe subtracted 3 on both sides, not multiply.

When x = 14, Joe multiplied by 2 on both sides, not subtracted.

There is a raffle for a $950 prize. Out of 125 tickets, each costing $18, one ticket will win the prize, and the rest will win n

mr Goodwill [35]

The expected value formula is

$E=\Sigma x\cdot P(x)$

We know that there are 125 tickets, so the probability of the ticket is

$P(x)=\frac{1}{125}$

Then, we find the expected value

$E=950\cdot\frac{1}{125}=7.60$ <h2>Hence, the expected value is $7.60.</h2>
