The numbers are 5 and 12.
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
x +y =17
y = 3x - 3
x +3x -3 = 17
4x = 20
x = 5
smaller number is 5
y = 3(5) - 3
y = 12
larger number is 12.

Three vertices of parallelogram ABCD are A(2,-6),B(-1,2),C(5,3).find the coordinates of vertex D
salantis [7]

Check the first picture below.


for a parallelogram, it has to have two pairs of parallel sides, so BC || AD and AB || CD.

if two lines are parallel, they have the same slope, namely the <u>same rise and run</u>.

notice, the line BC has a run of 6 and a rise of 1, <u>arrows in red</u>, therefore, AD must also have a run of 6 and a rise of 1, so if we move from A 6 units over and 1 up, we'd end up at point D.


now, for part atop

Check the 2nd picture, in a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal, so if WLP is 144°, then PNW is also 144°.

in a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other, so each cut the other in halves, so if PM is 9 then MW is also 9 and thus PW is just 9+9=18.


now, about QRST.

notice what we said about a parallelogram above, thus


\bf 8x+13=11x-23\implies 8x+36=11x\implies 36=3x \\\\\\ \cfrac{36}{3}=x\implies \boxed{12=x} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 2y+12=4y-4\implies 2y+16=4y\implies 16=2y \\\\\\ \cfrac{16}{2}=y\implies \boxed{8=y}


so then TQ ==> 2(8) + 12 ==> 16 + 12 ==> 28.

∡Q ==> 8(12) + 13 ==> 96 + 13 ==> 109°.

and since in a parallelogram, adjacent interior angles add up to 180°, then ∡Q + ∡T = 180°.

∡T ==> 180 - 109 ==> 71°.

Shawna took a test that had a total of 20 items. She got 4/5 of the items correct. How many items did she get correct?
ehidna [41]

Shawna got 16 items correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of answers or part of total answers we multiply the fraction with the total number of items.

Given

Total items on test = 20

Correct items fraction = 4/5

Then,

Correct\ items=\total\ items * \fraction\ of\ correct\ answers\\= 20 * \frac{4}{5}\\=\frac{80}{5}\\=16

Shawna got 16 items correct

kherson [118]
If his water to cement ratio is 20 to 30, this means that if he uses 20 liters of water, he'd use 30 liters of cement.

The total mixture would then be 20+30=50 liters.

and the water would be 20/50=0.4 or 40% of the total mixture.
