In a triangle, the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. The measure of third angle os 88 degrees
Volgvan

Answer:

Answers: 46, 23, and 111

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer, we need to know the angles. Therefore, give each angle a name. Angle 1 will be x, 2 will be y, 3 will be z. So, using this system of equations:

x=2y

z=y+88

x+y+z=180

Substituting, z = 1/2(x)+88, now plug z into the third equation:

x+1/2(x)+1/2(x)+88=180

this simplifies to 2x+88=180

subtracting 88 from both sides leaves 2x=92

x=46

plug this in to the first equation: 46 = 2y, so y = 23

plug this into the third one leaves z = 111

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  • red division: 6 teams
  • blue division: 5 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.

  r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue

  4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week

__

Solving by substitution, we have ...

  r = b +1

  4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r

  8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify

  8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5

  b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7

  r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r

There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.
