Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DY is parallel to FS, this means we have two parallel lines with a transversal (FJ).   This makes ∠JDY and ∠JFS corresponding angles, which makes them congruent.  ∠J ≅ ∠J by the reflexive property.  Since we now have two corresponding angles congruent in the two triangles, and we know that all triangles have a sum of 180°, this means the third corresponding angles must be congruent as well.  Since all three angles are congruent in both triangles, the triangles are similar.

This means that the sides are proportional; this tells us that the ratio of DJ to JY will be the same as the ratio of FJ to JS.

The ratio of DJ to JY is

50/42.

The ratio of FJ to JS is (x+50)/(42+63).  This gives us the proportion

50/42 = (x+50)/(42+63)

50/42 = (x+50)/105

Cross multiplying, we have

50(105) = 42(x+50)

5250 = 42(x+50)

Using the distributive property, we have

5250 = 42(x)+42(50)

5250 = 42x+2100

Subtracting 2100 from each side,

5250-2100 = 42x+2100-2100

3150 = 42x

Divide both sides by 42:

3150/42 = 42x/42

75 = x

Ravi sold 1/5 of his apples. He gave his friend 2/5 of the remainder. Ravi remained with 60. How many apples did ravi have at fi
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The number of Apples did Ravi have at first is 125 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Apples did Ravi have at first = x

The Apples which is sold by Ravi = \frac{1}{5} of x

So, remainder now = x - \frac{1}{5} of x = \frac{4}{5} of x

The apples given to his friend = \frac{2}{5} of \frac{4}{5} x

I.e The apples given to his friend =  \frac{8}{25} of x

Now, The remaining Apples did Ravi have = 50

∴ According to question

\frac{4}{5} of x -  \frac{8}{25} of x = 60

Or,  \frac{20-8}{25} of x = 60

Or,  \frac{12}{25} of x = 60

∴ x = \frac{25\times 60}{12} = 125

Hence The number of Apples did Ravi have at first is 125 .  Answer

Answer:

<h2>2 c. = 1 pt.</h2><h2>2 pt. = 1/4 qt.</h2><h2>1 gal. = 4 qt.</h2><h2>4 qt = 1 gal.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed{1gal.=4qt.=8pt.=16c}\\\\1pt.=2c.\Rightarrow 2c.=1pt.\\\\1qt.=8pt.\to1pt.=\dfrac{1}{8}qt.\Rightarrow2pt.=2\cdot\dfrac{1}{8}qt.=\dfrac{1}{4}qt.\\\\1gal=4qt.\Rightarrow4qt.=1gal.

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (-1,-11) and is parallel to the line 7x+3y=10
madam [21]
Y=- \frac{7}{3} -13 \frac{1}{3}.

To find the equation of a line, you need two things: the slope and the y-intercept. 

The slopes of parallel lines are the same. So we can find the slope of the new line by finding the slope of the first line. To do that, we need to put it in y=mx+b format, where m is the slope. So we must rearrange the 7x+3y=10. First subtract 7x from both sides to make it look like:
       3y=10-7x
Then divide both sides three:
       by= \frac{10}{3} - \frac{7}{3} x
So now that it's in y=mx+b format, we can now see that the m= - \frac{7}{3}

Now we know the m of the new equation, we need to find the b, or the y-intercept. To do this, we can plug the point we have and the m value into the y=mx+b format.
       (-11)=- \frac{-7}{3} (-1) + b
Solving this, we can subtract 7/3 from both sides:
     -11- \frac{7}{3} = b
Therefore, b= -13 \frac{1}{3}

Plugging the m= - \frac{7}{3} and the b= -13 \frac{1}{3} back into the y=mx+b format, your parallel line is y=- \frac{7}{3} -13 \frac{1}{3}.
