Keenan currently does a total of 888 pushups each day. He plans to increase the number of pushups he does each day by 222 pushup

s until he is doing a total of 303030 pushups each day. Which equation can we use to determine xxx, the number of days that it will take Keenan to reach his goal?

Answer:

8 + 2x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial number of push-ups he does in each day = 8,

And, the number of push-ups, he increases per day = 2,

Let x be the number of days after he will reach his target of 30 push-ups,

Since, the number of push-ups she will increase in x days = 2x,

Thus, the number of push-ups she will do after x days = 8 + 2x,

⇒ 8 + 2x = 30,

Which is the required equation.

888+222x=303030 *and to solve*

-888 =888 subtract 888 to isolate x

222x=302142

222/222x= 302142 divide by 222

x=1361.

It will take Keenan 1,361 days to get to his goals of 303,030 push ups.

hope it helps!

Practice question — Given the trapezoid to the right find the length of legs in the following isosceles trapezoid

ad-work [718]

Given:

A figure of an isosceles trapezoid with bases 18 and 24, and the vertical height is 4.

To find:

The legs of the isosceles trapezoid.

Solution:

Draw another perpendicular and name the vertices as shown in the below figure.

From the figure it is clear that the AEFD is a rectangle. So,

$EF=AD=18$

Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, therefore in triangle ABE and DCF,

$AB=DC$ (Legs of isosceles trapezoid)

$AE=DF$ (Vertical height of isosceles trapezoid)

$m\angle AEB=m\angle DFC$ (Right angle)

$\Delta ABE\cong \Delta DCF$ (HL postulate)

$BE=CF$ (CPCTC)

Now,

$BE+EF+FC=BC$

$2BE+18=24$

$2BE=24-18$

$2BE=6$

$BE=3$

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABE, we get

$Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2$

$(AB)^2=(AE)^2+(BE)^2$

$(AB)^2=(4)^2+(3)^2$

$(AB)^2=16+9$

$(AB)^2=25$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$AB=\pm \sqrt{25}$

$AB=\pm 5$

Side length cannot be negative. So, $AB=5$ .

Therefore, the length of legs in the given isosceles trapezoid is 5 units.

(WILL GIVE BRAINLY) My family of six eats 24 meatballs and four pounds of pasta on spaghetti night. How many meatballs and how m

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Well, first, you have to find out how much food each person needs. Assuming everyone eats the same amount, you divide 24 by 6, getting 4 meatballs per person. Then you divide the 4 pounds of pasta by 6, getting .75 pounds of pasta per person. Then you multiply both of those numbers, 4 and .75 by 8, since that is how many people will be eating that night. You get 32 meatballs, and 6 pounds of pasta.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps.

11. (-7,-12,0, 5,2,-4,-1) least to greatest

Mkey [24]

Answer:

-12, -7, -4, -1, 0, 2, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger a negative number the less value it actually has, whereas the larger a positive number the more value it has. You can think about it as if someone has taken something from you. If I take $12 from you you have less money than if I were to only take $7 from you. With positive numbers, you would have more money if I gave you 5 dollars than if I only gave you 2 dollars. You will always have more money if I give you money than if I were to take away money, that is why positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.
