Answer:

<em>It took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The patch grows to double its size everyday

the patch completely covers the lake in 32 days

Since the patch doubles itself everyday, this means that the previous day before the 32nd day, the lake was just half covered.

Therefore, the the patch covered half the lake on the 31st day, i.e <em>it took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

\text{Hey there!}

\mathsf{Determine\ the\ value\ of\ x\ in\ the\ equation\ x+5x=5x+7.}

\mathsf{SIMPLIFY\ both\ sides\ of\ your\ equation}

\mathsf{x+5x=5x+7}

\mathsf{COMBINE\ your\ like\ terms}

\mathsf{(x+5x)=(5x+7)}

\mathsf{The\ RIGHT\ side\ DOES\  NOT\ have\ any\ like\ terms\ so\ we\ can}\\\mathsf{can\ leave\ alone}

\mathsf{x+5x= 6x}

\mathsf{Your\ new\ equation: 6x=5x+7}

\mathsf{SUBTRACT\ by\ 5x\ on\ your\ sides}

\mathsf{6x-5x}\\\mathsf{=}\\\mathsf{7-5x}

\mathsf{SOLVE\ your\ equation\ above\uparrow}

\mathsf{If\ you\ SOLVED\ correctly\ you\ SHOULD\ have\ the\ VALUE\ of\ x}

\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus\ your\ answer\ is\ x=7}}}\checkmark

In Triangle MNP, the measure of angle M is 24 degrees. The Measure of angle N is five times the Measure of angle P. Find Measure
Oliga [24]

Answer:

<P = 26 degrees

<N = 130 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angle of a triangle is 180, hence

<M + <N + <P = 180

If the Measure of angle N is five times the Measure of angle P, then;

<N = 5<P

<M = 24 degrees

Substotute into the formula

24 + 5<P + <P = 180

24 + 6<P = 180

6<P = 180-24

6<P = 156

<P   = 156/6

<P = 26 degrees

Since <N = 5<P

<N = 5(26)

<N = 130 degrees

Hence the measure of <P is 26 degrees and that of <N is 130 degrees
