Answer:

I believe the answer is c.) x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

I saw this on a webpage:

The moment we see “x,” we can consider picking numbers. The key here is contemplating how complicated the number should be. Swim with the current – let the question tell you. A quick look at the answer choices reveals that x could be something simple. Ultimately, we’re just dividing this value by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Keeping this in mind, let’s think about the first line of the question. If there are 3 times as many adults as children, and we’re keeping things simple, we can say that there are 3 adults and 1 child, for a total of 4 people. So, x = 4.

Now, we know that among our 3 adults, there are twice as many women as men. So let’s say there are 2 women and 1 man. Easy enough. In sum, we have 2 women, 1 man, and 1 child at this picnic, and a total of 4 people. The question is how many men are there? There’s just 1! So now we plug x = 4 into the answers and keep going until we find x = 1. Clearly x/4 will work, so C is our answer. The key was to let the question dictate our approach rather than trying to impose an approach on the question.

Answer:

x ≈ 20.31

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying tangent rule in the given right triangle,

tan(55°) = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

Measure of the opposite side = 29 units

Measure of the adjacent side = x

Substitute these values in the expression,

tan(55) = \frac{29}{x}

x = \frac{29}{tan(55)}

x = 20.306

x ≈ 20.31

A straight line is 180 degrees. To get x, you subtract 117 from 180.

180-117 is 63.

x= 63.

x+y is 90 degrees so to find y, you subtract x from 90.

90-63 is 26.

y=27.

What is the value of 4 1/2 - 2 3/4
Ivenika [448]

Answer: 1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: First, convert 4 1/2 and 2 3/4 to have like denominators.

4 1/2 = 4 2/4 because 1 x 2 = 2 and 2 x 2 = 4 = 2/4

2 3/4 stays the same.

Now, subtract 4 2/4 - 2 3/4             (4 x 4 = 16 + 2 = 18) and (2 x 4 = 8 + 3 = 11)

18/4 - 11/4 = 7/4 or 1 3/4
