Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

24% × x = 72

or, 24 /100

× x = 72

we have x = 72 × 100 /24

x = 300

ΔPQR has angle measurements of 80°, 50°, and 50°. What kind of triangle is ΔPQR?

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Isosceles Triangle; Acute Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Review your definitions of the different types of triangles:

acute triangle- a triangle that has three acute (less than 90 degrees) angles

obtuse triangle- a triangle that has an obtuse (greater than 90 degrees) angle.

right triangle- a triangle that had one right (90 degrees) angles

isosceles triangle- a triangle with two congruent sides and one unique side and angle.

equilateral triangle- a triangle with three congruent sides and three congruent angles.

scalene triangle- a triangle with no congruent sides and no congruent angles.

With these definitions, we can classify ΔPQR as an isosceles acute triangle.

What is the solution of √x-5 = x-11

PIT_PIT [208]

Hey!

To solve x in this equation we must first add five to both sides to get $\sqrt{x}$ on its own.

Original Equation :
$\sqrt{x} - 5 = x - 11$

New Equation {Added 5 to Both Sides} :
$\sqrt{x} =x-6$

Now we must square both sides of the equation.

Old Equation :
$\sqrt{x} =x-6$

New Equation {Changed by Squaring Both Sides} :
$x= x^{2} -12x+36$

And now we must solve the new equation.

Step 1 - Switch sides
$x^{2} -12x+36=x$

Step 2 - Subtract x from both sides
$x^{2} -12x+36-x=x-x$

Step 3 - Simplify
$x^{2} -13x+36=0$

Now we need to solve the rest of the equation using the quadratic formula.

$\frac{-(-13)+ \sqrt{(-13) ^{2}-4*1*36 } }{2*1}$

${13+ \sqrt{(-13)^{2}-4*1*36 }=13+ \sqrt{25}$

$\frac{13+ \sqrt{25}}{2}$

$\sqrt{25}=5$

$\frac{13+5}{2}$

$\frac{18}{2}$

9

$\frac{-(-13)- \sqrt{(-13) ^{2} -4*1*36} }{2*1}$

4

So, this means that in the equation $\sqrt{x} -5=x-11$ , x = 9 and x = 4.

Hope this helps!

What is the unit rate $1.29 for 15oz to nearest tenth

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The unit price of an item is the cost for each unit.

The unit price may be calculated for several reasons.

It will allow an easy comparison of the cost of the same quantity of items that come in different sizes.

For example, Company A sells peaches in a can. Their can holds 16 oz of peaches at a price of $1.60. Company B also sells peaches in a can, but their can holds 10 oz of peaches at a price of $1.10. At first glance, Company B looks like they might have cheaper peaches because of the lower overall price, but when you calculate the unit price, you get a more accurate way to compare.

For Company A, $1.60 ÷ 16oz = $0.10 per ounce.

For Company B, $1.10 ÷ 10oz = $0.11 per ounce.

The peaches are measured with ounces as the unit, so now that we have unit prices, we can definitely tell that Company A is the better deal, if you like peaches!

Unit price can also be helpful to find the cost of a single item when many items are purchased together. This may be required if the items are going to be divided up and resold. It could also be useful if several people will pay together with each person paying their fair share of the cost based on how many items they receive.

Two friends store 3 cereal bors equally. How many cored bors each person get? Show your work Write an equation & solution: E

maria [59]

Answer:

1 $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 2 friends, if they have 3 cereal bars and want to split it equally then we simply need to divide the number of cereal bars by the number of friends which would give us the number of cereal bars that each individual will get, which will be represented by x

x = 3 / 2

x = 1 $\frac{1}{2}$

Finally, we can see that each friend will get a total of 1 and a half of a cereal bar.
