Dylan, Alan, Bruce, and Cecil are brothers. Dylan weighs d pounds. Alan weighs 3 pounds more than twice what Dylan weighs. Bruce

weighs 12 pounds less than three times what Dylan weighs. If Cecil weighs the same as the combined weight of Bruce and Alan, what is Cecil’s weight in terms of Dylan’s weight (d)?
Complete the steps below to solve this problem and others like it.

Answer:

Part A: 2D + 3 = A

Note: I have likely given you the answer to the whole problem. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Alan = A
  • Bruce = B
  • Cecil = C
  • Dylan = D

Comment

You have to pay the most attention to Alan and Bruce. Once you have equations for those two. Cecil's weight is just the sum of those two.

<em>Alan</em>

Alan = Twice*Dylan + 3 or

A = 2*D + 3

<em>Bruce</em>

Bruce = three * Dylan - 12

B = 3*D - 12

<em>Cecil</em>

Cecil = Alan + Bruce

C = A + B

Note

The last equation shows you how to combine the first two.

C = A + B

A = 2D + 3

B = 3D - 12

C = 2D + 3 + 3D - 12

C = 5D - 9

Answers: G) ∠BCS = 57.5°

                H) ∠FHI = 72°

                 I) ∠ACB and also ∠DCH

                 J) ∠CHD (which can also be named ∠BHE)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First of all, I checked your answers for A-F and they are all correct. YAY!

********************************************************************************************

G) Draw a point halfway between B and D and label it S. Then draw a ray from C passing through S.

∠ACB and ∠BCD are supplementary so

  65°    +    ∠BCD  =     180°

⇒               ∠BCD  =     115°

Since ray CS bisects ∠BCD, then ∠BCS is half of ∠BCD.

\angle BCS=\dfrac{1}{2} (\angle BCD)\\\\. \quad \quad=\dfrac{1}{2}(115^o)\\\\. \quad \quad =\large\boxed{57.5^o}

********************************************************************************************

H) The instructions state to draw a line from H to F.  This divides ∠DHI into two angles: ∠FHD and ∠FHI.  Since lines BI and EG are perpendicular, then ∠DHI = 90°.  It is given that ∠FHI is 4 times larger than ∠FHD so we can use substitution...

∠FHD + ∠FHI = ∠DHI

∠FHD + 4(∠FHD) = 90°

             5(∠FHD) = 90°

                ∠FHD  = 18°

∠FHI = 4(∠FHD)

        = 4 (18°)

        = \large\boxed{72^o}

********************************************************************************************

I) adjacent means they share a side and supplementary means they form a straight angle. There are two angles that are adjacent and supplementary to ∠ACH.  

  • ACB - they share side AC and are supplementary on BH
  • DCH - they share side CH and are supplementary on AD

********************************************************************************************

J) congruent means equal and adjacent means they share a side.

The angle that is not congruent nor adjacent to ∠GHI is its vertical angle, which is ∠CHD.  <em>Notice that ∠CHD is the same as ∠BHE.</em>

Help please I dont understand this​
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of line segments \overline{AB} and \overline{AC} because of the two segments and two angles marked as equal in the diagram. Because of this, the arcs \widehat{AB} and \widehat{AC} are equal.

Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, we can now set up the following equation:

(10x-23)+(10x-23)+106=180,\\20x-46+106=180,\\20x+60=180,\\20x=120,\\x=\boxed{6}

-6+3y=12 solve for x
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The answer is y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the constant to the right side and change its sign

3y=12+6

Add the numbers

12 +6

3y=18

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

Which equals

Y=6

Hope that helps
