There were 980 student desks originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of desks purchased = 295

Desks bought for teacher = 50

Desks for students = No. of desks purchased - desks bought for teachers

Desks for students = 295 - 50 = 245

This is 1/4 of number of original student desks.

Let x be the number of original student desks.

According to statement;

\frac{1}{4}\ of\ x=245\\\frac{1}{4}x=245

Multiplying both sides by 4;

4*\frac{1}{4}x=245*4\\x=980

There were 980 student desks originally.

A wooden block measures 2 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches. A wedge is cut off from each corner of the block by slicing at points
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Number of edges in the resulting solid = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A wooden block measures 2 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches. A wedge is cut off from each corner of the block by slicing at points that are 1 inch from each corner.

We are supposed to find the number of edges that are in the resulting solid.

In some corners , if we take out inch from both, then there would be nothing remaining.

The two faces along the height would be removed and it will become sharpened.

So the number of edges = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

An Equilateral Triangle has sides that all measure 10 inches. What is
densk [106]

Answer:

easy peasy lemon squeasy

Step-by-step explanation:

1. base of triangle: it is an equilateral triangle, so any side of the triangle you take is the base, (usually the largest side of the triangle is the base)

so that would be => 10 inches,

2. a property of an equilateral triangle is that , the median of the triangle coincides with the height of the triangle,

therefore, the height bisects the base and makes a right triangle with another side, therefore by using the Pythagoras theorem, we find it to be 8.66(approx)

now,

area of the triangle would be (putting the values we just found in the formula given)

=> [(10)(8.66)]/ 2

=>43.3 square inches

Find 4 consecutive odd numbers such that twice the sum of the least 2 numbers is 40 less than three times the sum of the greates
ANTONII [103]
4 consecutive odd numbers....x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6

2(x + x + 2) = 3(x + 4 + x + 6) - 40
2(2x + 2) = 3(2x + 10) - 40
4x + 4 = 6x + 30 - 40
4x + 4 = 6x - 10
4x - 6x = -10 - 4
-2x = - 14
x = -14/-2
x = 7

x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11
x + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13

ur numbers are : 7,9,11,13 <==
