Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 8 = 42 because x = boys and x + 8 = girls

2x = 34 because 2x = 42 - 8

x = 17

i hope this helps! you don't need the 2x = 42 - 8 to be an equation ;)

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statements: Reasons:

$1)\, XY=XZ$ Given

$2) \text{ $ m\angle Y= m\angle Z$}$ Isosceles Triangle Theorem

$\displaystyle 3) \text{ $m\angle Y=m\angle XYQ + \angle QYZ$}$ Angle Addition

$\displaystyle 4)\text{ $YQ$ bisects $\angle XYZ$}$ Given

$5) \text{ $m\angle XYQ=m\angle QYZ$}$ Definition of Bisector

$\displaystyle 6)\text{ $m\angle Y=2m\angle QYZ$}$ Substitution

$7)\text{ $m\angle Z=m\angle XZP+m\angle PZY$}$ Angle Addition

$8)\text{ $ZP$ bisects $\angle XZY$}$ Given

$\displaystyle 9) \text{ $m\angle XZP=m\angle PZY$ }$ Definition of Bisector

$\displaystyle 10) \text{ $ m\angle Z = 2m\angle PZY $}$ Substitution

$11)\text{ } 2m\angle QYZ=2m\angle PZY$ Substitution

$12)\text{ }m\angle QYZ=m\angle PZY$ Division Property of Equality

$13)\text{ } YZ=YZ$ Reflexive Property

$14)\text{ } \Delta YZP\cong\Delta ZYQ$ Angle-Side-Angle Congruence*

$15)\text{ } YQ=ZP$ CPCTC

*For clarification:

∠Y = ∠Z

YZ = YZ (or ZY)

∠PZY = ∠QYZ

So, Angle-Side-Angle Congruence:

ΔYZP is congruent to ΔZYQ

The base of a triangle is 3 cm longer than its altitude. The area of the triangle is 35cm^2. Find the altitude. (Hint: use the a

klemol [59]

The base is 3+(x), altitude is x so substitute. Now we know the area of a triangle is base X height X 1/2. Substitute again! 1/2 (3+x)(x)=35. Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 1/2. Now you have (x)(x+3)=70 and you have to foil out the left side x^2+3x=70. Subtract 70 on both sides x^2+3x-70=0. Find two numbers that multiply to -70 and add to 3. Solve (x+10)(x-7)=0. the x value is 7. since you can't have negative length values. Substitute 7 into 3+x for the base so you know the base is 10 and the height is 7.
