Answer:
A. I only
I. y>2x
Step-by-step explanation:
I. y>2x
He sold x bicycles last week and y bicycles this week, this week, he earned more than twice as much as he did last week. Therefore more than twice means greater than 2 x or
y>2x
II. y>x This is not true because y could be greater than x and less than twice of x (2x)
III. y>3 This is also not true because the least he would be earning would be $ 20 and he could get earn greater than 3 and less than $ 20 which would again be contradictory to the given statement
The complete proof statement and reason for the required proof is as follows:
Statement Reason
m<PNO = 45 Given
MO Given
<MNP and <PNO are a
linear pair of angles Definition of linear pairs of angles
<MNP and <PNO are
supplementary angles Linear Pair Postulate
m<MNP + m<PNO = 180° Definition of supplementary angles
m<MNP + 45° = 180° Substitution property of equality
m<MNP = 135° Subtraction property of equality
To solve this problem you use the "Triangle Inequality Theorem" it states that: any side of a triangle is always shorter than the sum of the other two sides.
Using this theorem we check each side
5+7=12: this is greater than the other side which is 11, so this works
11+7= 18: this is greater than the other side which is 5, so this works
5 + 11= 16: this is greater that the other side which is 7, so this works
