Answer :

The value of x is 10.

Explanation :

Given that,

TM = (2x+8) m

ML = (3x-2) m

If a man (M) is standing halfway between a tree (T) and a lamppost (L).

The half distance is TM and half distance is TL.

So, Both half distance will be equal.

We need to calculate the value of x

Using given data

$TM=ML$

Put the value into the formula

$2x+8=3x-2$

$2x-3x=-8-2$

$-x=-10$

$x=10$

Hence, The value of x is 10.

Rasheed is buying wings and quesadillas for a party. A package of wings costs $8. A package of quesadillas costs $10. He must sp

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

10 is maximum of packages of quesadillas.

Step-by-step explanation:

x= number of wings

y= number of quesadillas

x+y=20

8x+10y=$160

if x=7

then 7+y=20

20-7=14=y

14*10=140

8*7=56

Rasheed can't buy 20 packages, since it'll go over his budget.

So 160-56=104

And 104/10= 10 minimum

10*10=100

100+56=160

So he can buy 10 packages of quesadillas.

Riddle #2

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

28416

Step-by-step explanation:

No digits can be repeated

"All my digits are factors of 24" This means that the possible digits are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8

"The digits in my thousands place equals the perimeter of a 2x2 array" That would be 8

"The digits in my ten thousand places is twice the value of the digits in the hundreds place, but half the value of the digits in the thousands place" That would be 4, which also means that the ten thousands place is 2

"The digits in my tens place equal the number of lines of symmetry in an isoceles triangle" There is only 1 lines of symmetry

This means that we have 2841(?)

Because this number is even and no digits can be repeated, the only possible digits from those available is 6

Therefore the number is 28416
