25 kids in all
2xboys:3x girls

so the equation would be
2x+3x=25
solve,
5x=25
/5 /5
x=5
2x=10
3x=15

10 boys and 15 girls

How Would I Find The Answer ?

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: B. 34°

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

∠RQS + ∠SQT = ∠RQT

$\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}x+4\bigg)+\bigg(\dfrac{3}{4}x-6\bigg)=2x-47\\\\\\.\qquad\qquad\qquad\dfrac{5}{4}x-2=2x-47\\\\\\.\qquad\qquad\qquad\quad -2=\dfrac{3}{4}x-47\\\\\\.\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad 45=\dfrac{3}{4}x\\\\\\.\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad 180=3x\\\\\\.\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad 60=x$

$\angle RQS=\dfrac{1}{2}x+4\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{1}{2}(60)+4\\\\.\qquad=30+4\\\\.\qquad=34$

The height of a building is 1417 ft. How long would it take an object to fall to the ground from the top? Use the formula s = 16

Lemur [1.5K]

Given :

The height of a building is 1417 ft.

To Find :

How long would it take an object to fall to the ground from the top.

( Use the formula s = 16t² where s is the distance, in feet traveled by an object falling freely from rest in seconds. )

Solution :

Putting value of height in given equation, we get :

$16t^2 = 1417\\\\t^2 = \dfrac{1417}{16}\\\\t^2 = 88.5625\\\\t = \sqrt{88.5625}\\\\t = 9.41 \ seconds$

Therefore, time taken by object to reach the ground is 9.41 seconds.

Pls help for this pre calc question 25 points rewarded!

Temka [501]

Let's check the dot product .

v.w = 5(4)-2(10) = 20 -20 =0

So the dot product is not 20 . And since the dot product is zero, so they are perpendicular.

And the y component of w is 10.

So correct options are first and third .

1/5n -3/4 + 7/10n<br><br> Need to simplify

svlad2 [7]

·1/5n becomes 4/20n
·Leave 3/4 alone
·7/10n becomes 14/20n
·Combine like terms: 14/20n + 4/20n = 18/20n
·Simplify 18/20 to 9/10
·Final Answer : 9/10 - 3/4

Hope this helps you out in future problems!
