40 × 10.5 × w = 6510
420 × w = 6510
w = $\frac{6510}{420}$
w = 15.5 feet

The same number of people live on the islands Beautiful Sunrise and Gorgeous

aev [14]

Using the percentage concept, it is found that 75% of the population of Gorgeous Sunset is on Beautiful Sunrise now.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

$P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%$

In this problem, we have that:

We consider that the population of both Beautiful Sunrise and Gorgeous Sunset islands is of x.

There is a fiesta at Beautiful Sunrise, and a number a of people from Gorgeous Sunset are coming, hence, there will be x + a people at Beautiful Sunrise and x - a people t Gorgeous Sunset.

The percentage of people from Gorgeous Sunset is on Beautiful Sunrise now is:

$P = \frac{a}{x} \times 100\%$

Now the number of people on Beautiful Sunrise is seven times the number of people on Gorgeous Sunset, hence:

$\frac{x + a}{x - a} = 7$

We can find a <u>as a function of x</u> to find the percentage:

$\frac{x + a}{x - a} = 7$

$7(x - a) = x + a$

$7x - 7a = x + a$

$8a = 6x$

$a = \frac{3x}{4}$

Then, the percentage is:

$P = \frac{a}{x} \times 100\%$

$P = \frac{\frac{3x}{4}}{x} \times 100\%$

$P = \frac{3}{4} \times 100\%$

$P = 75\%$

75% of the population of Gorgeous Sunset is on Beautiful Sunrise now.

Can someone help me with this

insens350 [35]

Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.

( R ) and ( 2x + 5 ) are both on the same straight line.

Therefore:

Equation No. 1 -

R + 2x + 5 = 180

R = 180 - 2x - 5

R = 175 - 2x

Vertically opposite angles are equivalent to each other.

( R ) is vertically opposite ( 3x + 15 ).

Therefore:

Equation No. 2 -

R = 3x + 15

Substitute the value of ( R ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( x )

R = 3x + 15

175 - 2x = 3x + 15

- 2x - 3x = 15 - 175

- 5x = - 160

x = - 160 / - 5

x = 160 / 5

x = 32

Next we will substitute the value of ( x ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( R ).

Equation No. 2 -

R = 175 - 2x

R = 175 - 2 ( 32 )

R = 175 - 64

R = 111

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the answer is:

R = 111

x = 32

Hope this helps! :)
