Quantify of sand in a bag =

= \: 5 \frac{2}{5}  \ \:

=  \frac{(5 \times 5 +2) }{5}

=  \frac{27}{5}  \: kg

Quantity of sand that escapes in every 10 minutes :-

= 1 \frac{2}{3} kg

Quantity of sand that will escape in 20 minutes :-

= 1 \frac{2}{3}  \times 2

=  \frac{(3 \times 1 + 2)}{3}  \times 2

=  \frac{5}{3}  \times 2

=  \frac{10}{3}

Quantity of sand that will remain in the sand bag :-

=  \frac{27}{5}  -  \frac{10}{3}

=  \frac{(27 \times 3)}{15}  -  \frac{(10 \times 5)}{15}

=  \frac{81}{15}  -  \frac{50}{15}

=  \frac{31}{15}

= 2 \frac{1}{5}  \: kg

therefore \:  ,  \: 2 \frac{1}{5}  \: kg \: sand \: is \: left \: in \: the \: bag \: .

The measures of complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees.Angle A and angle B are complimentary, and their measures have a d
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The measure of the angles are 55° and 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two angles that are complement of each other are 90.

The angles are A and B, so we can write:

A + B = 90

Also,

The difference is 20. Let A be the greater of them, so we can write equation 2 as:

A - B = 20

Now, we add up both equations, eliminate B and solve for A first:

A + B = 90

A - B = 20

---------------

2A = 90 + 20

2A = 110

A = 110/2

A = 55

And now the measure of B:

A + B = 90

55 + B = 90

B = 90 - 55

B = 35

<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>When expanding brackets, you simply multiply whatever is inside the brackets by what is outside:</h3>

(7x * x) + (7x * 20)

<h3>Which would result in the answer being:</h3>

7x^{2} + 140x

What is the slope of the following linear equation y + 2x = 5 ?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. Since the given equation is not in the exact slope-intercept form, we need to rearrange it to identify the slope.

y + 2x = 5                         <----- Given equation

y = -2x + 5                       <----- Subtract 2x from both sides

Now, we can see that in the "m" position, there is a value of -2. This makes the slope = -2.
