Answer:

y=131°

x=53°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ ABD and ∠ BDC are supplementary.

The sum of the supplementary angles =180 °

thus y-4+x=180...........i

x and 37° are complementary, that is, they add up to 90°

Thus, x=90-37=53°

Using this value in equation 1 we obtain:

y-4°+53° =180°

y= 180°-53°+4°

y=131°

Answer:

x = 53°

y = 131°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see a right angled triangle.

AB∥CD

To find the value of x and y

Consider the large triangle, by using angle sum property we can write,

90 + 37 + x = 180

127 + x = 180

x = 180 - 127

x = 53°

Since AB∥CD and BD is a traversal on these parallel lines.

Therefore <ABD and < CDB are supplementary

we have x = 53°,

x + (y - 4) = 180

53 + y - 4 = 180

y = 180 - 49 = 131°

y = 131°

If 5x=y+75x=y+7, is (x−y)>0(x−y)>0? (1) xy=6xy=6 (2) xx and yy are consecutive integers with the same sign

crimeas [40]

Answer:

No. If 5x=y+7 then xy=6 and (2) x and y are consecutive integers with the same sign. for xy=6

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of clarity:

If 5x=y+7 then (x – y) > 0?

Alternatives:

(1) xy = 6

(2) x and y are consecutive integers with the same sign

1) Consider (x-y)>0 as true:

$xy=6$ Numbers like, 3*2, 6*1, etc..

$5x=y+7\Rightarrow \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{y+7}{5}\Rightarrow x=\frac{y+7}{5}\\Plugging\: in:\:\\\frac{y+7}{5}-y>0\Rightarrow \frac{y+7-5y}{5}>0\Rightarrow \frac{-4y+7}{5}>0\Rightarrow \frac{-4y+7}{5}*5>0*5\\-4y+7>0 *(-1)\Rightarrow 4y-7\frac{7}{4}\therefore y$

Since y in this hypothetical case is lesser then let's find x, let's plug in y 1 for a value lesser than 1.75:

Then xy≠6 and no and 8/5 (1.75) is a rational number. What makes false the second statement about consecutive integers.

So this is a Contradiction. (x-y) >0 is not true for 5x=x+7.

2) Consider:

x and y are consecutive integers with the same sign is true.

Algebraically speaking, two consecutive integers with the same sign can be written as:

$y=x+1$

Plugging in the first equation (5x=y+7):

5x=x+1+7⇒4x=8 ⇒x =2

Since y=3 then x=2 because:

$3=x+1\\3-1=x+1-1\\2=x \Rightarrow x=2$

3) Testing it

$5x=y+7\\\\5(2)=(3)+7\\\\10=10\:True$

$xy=6\\2*3=6\\6=6$

"A passenger train traveled 100 miles in the same amount of time it took a freight train to travel 90 miles. The rate of the fre

Pavel [41]

Answer: the rate of the passenger train is 100 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate of the passenger train.

The rate of the freight train was 10 miles per hour slower than the rate of the passenger train. It means that the rate of the freight train is (x - 10) mph

The passenger train traveled 100 miles. It means that the time it took travel 100 miles is

100/x

In the same amount of time, it took a freight train to travel 90 miles. It means that the time it took travel 90 miles is

90/(x - 10)

Since the time is the same, then

100/x = 90/(x - 10)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

100(x - 10) = 90x

100x - 1000 = 90x

100x - 90x = 1000

10x = 1000

x = 100 mph
