Answer:

20 lbs of 9%

10 lbs of 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

x: 9%

y: 15%

x + y = 30

y = 30 - x

0.09x + 0.15y = 0.11(30)

0.09x + 0.15(30 - x) = 3.3

-0.06x = -1.2

x = 20

y = 10

y = 30 - x

The length of 1 side of a square is 13.5 centimeters. find the length of a diagonal of the square.

vladimir1956 [14]

It would be 13.5 because a square has 4 equal sides and even if you went diagonal it wouldn't change the fact that it is equally the same!

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angles are vertical angles and congruent, thus

5(x - 4) = 4x + 7, that is

5x - 20 = 4x + 7 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x - 20 = 7 ( add 20 to both sides )

x = 27
