If you double a number and then add 1616, you get two fifths 2 5 of the original number. what is the original number?

1 answer:

4 0

Let the original number be x.

Acc. to the question,
2x+1616=(2/5)x
or, 10x+8080=2x
or, 10x-2x= -8080
or, 8x= -8080
or, x= -8080/8
or, x = -1010

Therefore, the original number is -1010

Answer:

14. C) 136°

15. C) 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Inscribed angles are half the measure of the arc they intercept. For an inscribed quadrilateral, this means opposite angles are supplementary.

14) ∠H +∠W = 180°

34x +55x +2 = 180

89x = 178 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 89

arc VX = 2(34x) = 68(2) = 136 . . . degrees

15) The sum of angles in the triangle is 180°.

? + 80° + (120°/2) = 180°

? = 40° . . . . . . . . . . subtract 140°

Answer:

230,300 different selections.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the order does not matter, the number of possible different selections is determined as the combination of choosing four numbers out of 50:

$n=\frac{50!}{(50-4)!4!}\\\\n=\frac{50*49*48*47}{4*3*2*1} \\\\n=230,300\ combinations$

There are 230,300 possible different selections.
