You add +7 to both sides and then divide by 9 to get the x alone.
Answer:
4 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
let their ages be x and x - 5, then in 4 years their ages will be
x + 4 and x - 5 + 4 = x - 1 , and the product is 104, thus
(x + 4)(x - 1) = 104 ← expand factors on left using FOIL
x² + 3x - 4 = 104 ( subtract 104 from both sides )
x² + 3x - 108 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 12)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 12 = 0 ⇒ x = - 12
x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9
However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 9
Thus
Their present ages are 9 and 9 - 5 = 4
Answer:
27 15/28 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are adding 21 1/4 to 6 2/7, we need to find the LCD, or, least common denominator, so that we can add 1/4 and 2/7 together.
1*4=4 1*7=7
2*4=8 2*7=14
3*4=12 3*7=21
4*4=16 <u>4*7=28</u>
5*4=20
6*4=24
<u>7*4=28</u>
Since we had to multiply 7 four times to get it equal to 28, we need to take 2/7 * 4/4. This will give you 8/28. Then, since we multiplied 4 seven times to get it equal to 28, we need to take 1/4 *7/7. This will give you 7/28. Finally, you need to add 8/28 and 7/28 since they now share the same denominator.
8/28 + 7/28=15/28
For our last step, we need to add the whole numbers together so the answer is complete.
21+6=27
27+15/28= 27 15/28 degrees
Answer: she bought about 7 boxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem 1
<h3>Answer: B. M<3 would need to double.</h3>
Explanation: This is because angles 3 and 6 are congruent corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent whenever we have parallel lines like this. If they weren't congruent, then the lines wouldn't be parallel. We would need to double angle 3 to keep up with angle 6.
=====================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: D. none of these sides are parallel</h3>
Explanation: We have angles A and C that are same side interior angles, but they add to A+C = 72+72 = 144, which is not 180. The same side interior angles must add to 180 degrees for parallel lines to form. This shows AB is not parallel to CD.
A similar situation happens with angles B and D, since B+D = 108+108 = 216. This also shows AB is not parallel to CD. We can rule out choices A and C.
Choice B is false because AD is a diagonal along with BC. The diagonals of any quadrilateral are never parallel as they intersect inside the quadrilateral. Parallel lines never intersect.
The only thing left is choice D. We would say that AC || BD, since A+B = 72+108 = 180 and C+D = 72+108 = 180, but this isn't listed as an answer choice.
