Let x represent the amount of beef and y represent the amount of pork Mike used in recipe.

He used total 8 lbs of meat, so we can write:

x + y = 8

He uses 3:1 ratio of beef to pork, so we can write:

x :y  = 3 : 1
x = 3y

Using this value of x in first equation, we get:

3y + y =8
4y = 8
y = 2

x = 3y = 3(2) = 6

This means Mike used 6 lbs of beef and 2 lbs of pork for his recipe

The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

33°

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given that:

1- The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees

2- The second angle is 15 degrees larger than the smallest angle

3- The third angle is 3 times as big as the smallest angle

So, first of all, let's call the smallest angle x.

the second angle will be (x + 15°) since it is 15 degrees greater than the smallest angle

and the third will be 3x, since it is 3 times bigger than the smallest angle.

With the information we have, we can form an equation!

180° = x + (x+ 15°) + 3x

180° = 5x + 15°

180° - 15° = 5x + 15° - 15°

165° = 5x

165°/5 = 5x/5

33° = x

therefore, the smallest angle measures 33° degrees, the second angle measures 48° and the third angle measures 99°.

99° + 33° + 48° = 180°

so it is safe to say this answer is correct!
