<span>Most of the information’s that are required are already given in the question.</span>
The number of cans used to serve 5 people = 3
Then
The number of cans required to serve 1 people = (3/5) * 1
   = (3/5) cans
So
The number of cans required to serve 20 people = (3/5) * 20 cans
   = 3 * 4 cans
   = 12 cans
So 12 cans will be required to serve 20 people. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

If you would like to know how many cans of soup you will need, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 cans of soup ... 5 people
x cans of soup = ? ... 20 people

3 * 20 = 5 * x /5
x = 3 * 20 / 5
x = 12 cans of soup

The correct result would be 12 cans of soup.

The range of y=√x-5-1 is

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

[-1, ∞ )

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of parentheses is essential here. I am assuming that you meant:

y=√(x-5) - 1

Note that √(x-5) has the range [0, ∞ ). The domain is [5, ∞ ).

Thus, y=√(x-5) - 1 has the range [-1, ∞ )

Co-ordinate Geometry

Answer:

The value of a = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 4)

(x₂, y₂) = (6, a)

(x₃, y₃) = (-1, 1)

A = 9 sq.units

Area of a triangle with vertices (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) is:

$A=\frac{\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|}{2}$

substituting the values (x₁, y₁) = (2, 4), (x₂, y₂) = (6, a), (x₃, y₃) = (-1, 1), A = 9 in th formula

$A=\frac{\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|}{2}$

$9=\frac{\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)+-1\left(4-a\right)\right|}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$\frac{2\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\left(4-a\right)\right|}{2}=9\cdot \:2$

simplify

$\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\left(4-a\right)\right|=18$

As the area is always positive.

so

$2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\cdot \left(4-a\right)=18$

$2\left(a-1\right)-18-\left(4-a\right)=18$

Add 18 to both sides

$2\left(a-1\right)-18-\left(4-a\right)+18=18+18$

simplify

$2\left(a-1\right)-\left(4-a\right)=36$

$3a-6=36$

$3a=42$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{42}{3}$

$a=14$

Thus, the value of a = 14

Pls can any one solve this

belka [17]

All the angles make a full circle which needs to equal 360 degrees.

Add all the angles together to equal 360:

X + (x-10) + (4x-20) +(2x-10) + (x +10) = 360

Combine like terms:

9x -30 = 360

Add 30 to both sides:

9x = 390

Divide both sides by 9:

X = 390/9

X = 43.3333. ( 43 and 1/3)
