What is 34 divided by 3

In a family, each brother has as many sisters as brothers, but each sister has twice as many brothers as she has sisters. How ma

daser333 [38]

Answer:

4 brothers and 3 sisters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of brothers and y be the number of sisters in the family.

1. Each brother has x-1 brothers and y sisters. If each brother has as many sisters as brothers, then

$x-1=y.$

2. Each sister has y-1 sisters and x brothers. If each sister has twice as many brothers as she has sisters, then

$2(y-1)=x.$

3. Solve the system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-1=y\\ \\2(y-1)=x\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow 2(y-1)-1=y,\\ \\2y-2-1=y,\\ \\2y-y=2+1,\\ \\y=3.$

Then

$x=y+1=3+1=4.$

Please help me answer the question 9 though 10

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

9) slope of AC = slope of FH

Equation of the line is y = - x + 5

10) Area = 320

Step-by-step explanation:

For 9, the only thing similar IS the slope of the hypotenuse because the triangles are along the same line. Unless they're asking for the equation of the line, then that's just using the point slope equation which is:

y = - x + 5

For 10, just multiply 4 and 5 by 4 to get 16 and 20. Then multiply 16 and 20 to get 320.

I DONT KNOW THESE! HELP!

kkurt [141]

Answer:

20. x = 5, y = -2

21. x = 11, y = 12

22. x = 22, y = 11

23. x = 11, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

20. Opposite sides in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2y+18=3x-1\\ \\6x-3=17-5y$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2y-3x=-19\\ \\6x+5y=20\end{array}\right.$

Multiply the first equation by 2 and add two equations:

$2(2y-3x)+6x+5y=2\cdot (-19)+20\\ \\4y-6x+6x+5y=-38+20\\ \\9y=-18\\ \\y=-2$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$2\cdot (-2)-3x=-19\\ \\-3x=-19+4\\ \\-3x=-15\\ \\x=5$

21. Opposite angles in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$11x+5=10y+6$

Consecutive angles are supplementary, so

$6x-y+11x+5=180^{\circ}$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}11x-10y=1\\ \\17x-y=175\end{array}\right.$

From the second equation

$y=17x-175$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$11x-10(17x-175)=1\\ \\11x-170x+1750=1\\ \\-159x=-1749\\ \\x=11\\ \\y=17\cdot 11-175=187-175=12$

22. Opposite angles in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2x-5=3y-12$

Consecutive angles are supplementary, so

$2x-5+7y+x=180^{\circ}$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x-3y=-7\\ \\3x+7y=185\end{array}\right.$

From the first equation

$x=-3.5+1.5y$

Substitute it into the second equation:

$3(-3.5+1.5y)+7y=185\\ \\-10.5+4.5y+7y=185\\ \\-105+45y+70y=1,850\\ \\115y=1,850+105\\ \\115y=1,955\\ \\y=17\\ \\x=-3.5+1.5\cdot 17=22$

23. Opposite sides in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2x+9=4y-9\\ \\3x-5=2y+8$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x-4y=-18\\ \\3x-2y=13\end{array}\right.$

Multiply the second equation by 2 and subtract it from the first equation:

$2x-4y-2(3x-2y)=-18-2\cdot 13\\ \\2x-4y-6x+4y=-18-26\\ \\-4x=-44\\ \\x=11$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$2\cdot 11-4y=-18\\ \\-4y=-18-22\\ \\-4y=-40\\ \\y=10$
