Answer:

x - y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y = 5/3 => x = 5y/3

x + y = 56

5y/3 + ³⁾y = ³⁾56

5y + 3y = 3×56

6y = 168

y = 168 : 8

y = 21

x = 5×21/3 = 105/3 = 35

x - y = 35 - 21 = 14

Answer:14

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=56

x:y=5:3

Sum of ratio=5+3

Sum of ratio=8

x=5/8x56

x=(5x56) ➗ 8

x=280 ➗ 8

x=35

y=3/8x56

y=(3x56) ➗ 8

y=168 ➗ 8

y=21

x-y

35-21=14

x-y=14

Triangle SQT is isosceles. The measure of angle STQ is 48°. Triangle S Q T is cut by perpendicular bisector T R. The lengths of

igomit [66]

Answer:

$m\angle STR=24^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$m\angle STQ=m\angle STR+m\angle RTQ$ ---> by addition angle postulate

we have

$m\angle STQ=48^o$ ----> given problem

$m\angle STR=m\angle RTQ$ ----> given problem

substitute in the expression above

$48^o=2m\angle STR$

Divide by 2 both sides

$m\angle STR=24^o$

Please help me with this Algebra problem: The length of a rectangle is 91 less than six times the width of the rectangle. If the

horsena [70]

182 Let x = width then y = 6x - 91. P (perimeter) = 2x + 2y = 84 then

2(x) + 2(6x - 91) = 84 | 2x + 12x - 182 =84 | 14x = 84 + 182 | 14x = 266 | x = 19 cm

y = 6x - 91 | y = 6 (19) - 91 | y = 114 - 91 | y = 23 cm

Check: P = 2x + 2y | P = 2(19) + 2(23) | P = 38 + 46 | P = 84 cm (Checked)

3x +2y=6 solve for Y

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

y = $\frac{6-3x}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x + 2y = 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2y = 6 - 3x ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = $\frac{6-3x}{2}$

Fiona and Camilla took a load of peaches to the farmer’s market. During the first hour, they sold ½ of the peaches plus ½ of a p

Lana71 [14]

<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>

<u>Check:</u>

In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51. They had 50 left.

In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17. They had (50-17)=33 left.

In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9. They had (33-9) = 24 left.

In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5. They had (24-5) = 19 left. yay!

Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home. Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.

================================================

The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.

-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.

-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .

-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .

Do the same for the 2nd hour.

Then do the same for the 1st hour.

And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.
