Let the number of knife be x.
Knife = x
Spoon = 2x
forks = 2x

Total = 30
x + 2x + 2x = 30
5x = 30 
x = 6

Knife = x = 6
forks = 2x = 12
Spoon = 2x = 12

Answer: There are 12 forks.

S = f   (where s = number of  spoons and f = number forks)
s = 2k ( k = number of knives)
s + f + k = 30
2s + k = 30 ( because  s = f)
4k + k = 30
k = 6 
Number of forks (f) =  twice number of  knives = 2*6 = 12 Answer

Instructions: Find the missing side of the triangle.<br> 30<br> х<br> 50<br> X=
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + 30² = 50²

x² + 900 = 2500 ( subtract 900 from both sides )

x² = 1600 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{1600} = 40

(SAT Prep) Find the value of x.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: x=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are congruent (I think it’s called the interior angle proof) so the bottom right angle is also 65°. All angles in a Triangle equal 180°, so 180-(75+65)=40
