Rebecca bought groceries using 50% of her paycheck from her part time job. She saved 75% of the remaining amount of money and ha

d $60 left. What was the amount of Rebecca's paycheck?

0.75 (1/2x) = 60

60/3 is 20, which is 25% of her remaining money,
So her total remaining money is $80.

Then 80 x 2 = 160

Which equation has a graph that goes through the points (4, -6) and (0, 6)?

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$y = -3x + 6\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the gradient of the equation

$\frac{Difference in y}{Difference in x} \\\\\frac{6 - - 6}{0 - 4} = \frac{12}{-4} = -3$

The equation will have the gradient -3x

Use the general equation of a line, and substitute the coordinates in to find the y-intercept.

$y = x + c\\ y = -3x + c\\$

(4, -6)

$-6 = -3(4) + c\\ -6 = -12 + c\\ -6 + 12 = c\\ c = 6$ $6 = -3(0) + c\\ 6 = 0 + c\\ c = 6$

(0, 6)

$6 = -3(0) + c\\ 6 = -0 + c\\ c = 6$

The equation of the line is

$y = -3x + 6\\$

Two numbers total 86 and have a difference of 12. Find the two numbers.

mestny [16]

Let the two numbers be x and y.

x + y = 86
+
x - y = 12
_________
2x + 0 = 98
__________

2x = 98

x = 98/2

x = 49

From x + y = 86

49 + y = 86

y = 86 - 49

y = 37

The numbers are 49 and 37.

Answer:

180, 180, 148, 180, 148

Step-by-step explanation:

The two rules in play here are ...

the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°
the angles of a linear pair are supplementary (they total 180°)

__

The first of these rules answers the first two questions:

interior angles total 180°
angles 1, 3, 4 total 180°

We can subtract the measure of angle 1 from both sides of the previous equation to find the sum of the remaining two angles.

angles 3 and 4 total 148°

The second rule answers the next question:

angles 1 and 2 total 180°

As before, subtracting the value of angle 1 from both sides of the equation gives ...

angle 2 must be 148°

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Of course, the subtraction property of equality comes into play, also. For some unknown, X, you have (in both cases) ...

X + 32° = 180°

X +32° -32° = 180° -32° . . . . . . subtraction property of equality

X = 148° . . . . . . . . simplify

In the first case, X is the sum of angles 3 and 4. In the second case, X is angle 2 only.

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two legs that have the same length. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle. Now taking this into account, we know that:

2L + B = 14 units

Where:

L is the measure of one leg

B is the measure of the base

Since two legs are the same and the base is 1 less, this means the measure of each leg would be:

B = L -1

Now we have two equations:

2L + B = 14 units

B = L- 1

We plug one equation into the other and make 1 equation:

2L + (L-1) = 14 units

Get rid of the parentheses:

2L + L - 1 = 14

Combine like terms:

3L - 1 = 14

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:

3L - 1 + 1 = 14 + 1

3L = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

3L/3 = 15/3

L = 5

So the length of a leg is 5 units

Let's check!

B = L - 1

B = 5 - 1

B = 4

Then we use that to solve for the perimeter:

2L + B

2(5) + 4

10 + 4 = 14
