If the amount of monkeys is m, lions is a, and lizards is b, then a+b+m=151, 17+a=m (since there are 17 more monkeys than lions), and 30+a=b. Substituting those values in (17+a=m and 30+a=b), we have 30+17+a+a+a=151=47+3a. Subtracting 47 from both sides, we get 104=3a. Next, we can divide both sides by 3 to get 104/3=a (the number of lions), 104/3+17=the number of monkeys, and 104/3+30=the number of lizards. Somehow we end up with a fraction (not a whole number), so there are 2/3rds of monkeys floating around using this logic.

What is the value of t<br><br> HELP
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

t = 8°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is equal to 180°

Let's set up our equation => 18t + 36 = 180

Subtract 36 from both sides

18t = 144

t = 8

Thus, we have our answer

25,812-4.2d=31.311-5.5d
Bas_tet [7]

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

25812−4.2d=31.311−5.5d

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

25812−4.2d=31.311−5.5d

25812+−4.2d=31.311+−5.5d

−4.2d+25812=−5.5d+31.311

Step 2: Add 5.5d to both sides.

−4.2d+25812+5.5d=−5.5d+31.311+5.5d

1.3d+25812=31.311

Step 3: Subtract 25812 from both sides.

1.3d+25812−25812=31.311−25812

1.3d=−25780.689

Step 4: Divide both sides by 1.3.

1.3d

1.3

=

−25780.689

1.3

What number must you add to complete the square x^2+24x=17
Arte-miy333 [17]
We have
x² + 24x = 17                          (1)

Note that
(x + 12)² = x² + 24x + 144
By adding 144 to the left side of equation (1), it becomes a perfect square.

Therefore
x² + 24x = (x+12)² - 144         (2)

Substitute (2) into (1).
(x + 12)² - 144 = 17 
(x + 12)² = 17 +144
(x + 12)² = 161

Answer:
We added 144 to the left side of equation (1) in order to make it a perfect square.

What is the value of a when we rewrite 8^x as a^-x/9​
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

a = \frac{1}{134217728}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8^x = a^{-x/9}

Required

Find a

Take log of both sides

log(8^x) = log(a^{-x/9})

Apply law of logarithm

x\ log(8)  = (-x/9) log(a)

Divide both sides by a

log(8)  = -\frac{1}{9} log(a)

Multiply both sides by -9

-9\ log(8)  = log(a)

Apply law of logarithm

log(8^{-9})  = log(a)

Cancel out log

8^{-9}  = a

Rewrite as:

a = 8^{-9}

Apply law of indices

a = \frac{1}{8^9}

a = \frac{1}{134217728}
