sweet t has 2 orange picks for every five green. if there are 21 picks in all, how many picks are orange

1 answer:

3 0

21 picks
altogether (2x+5x)=21
7x=21
x=3
2*3=6 orange picks

or
x=orange, y = greens
x+y=21
x/y=2/5,----> y=5x/2
x+5x/2=21
2x/2+5x/2=21
7x/2=21
7x=42,
x=6 orange picks

FIND THE VALUE OF X

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

By using the rule that the interior angles of any triangle equal 180 we see that:

m<ABC+m<CAB+m<ACB=180°

Therefore,

(2x+15)+(x+10)+(3x+5) = 180°

Now we have an equation and can solve for x:

Combine like terms:

(2x+15)+(x+10)+(3x+5) = 180°

6x+30=180°

6x+30-30=180-30

6x=150

x=25

To check our work just plug in 25 for x in each equation and the sum of those answers should add up to 180:

2x+15

2(25)+15

x+10

25+10

3x+5

3(25)+5

75+5

65+35+80=180

x=25 is valid

When you have a scale factor as percentage, is better to convert that percentage into a fraction by divide it by 100%. That way, it will be much easier to scale your figures.

1. The scale factor we need to apply to our rectangle is 60%. Firts, lets convert our scale factor into a fraction: $\frac{60}{100} = \frac{3}{5}$ . Next, we just need to multiply each side of our rectangle by our fraction:
length= $16( \frac{3}{5})=9.6$
width= $8( \frac{3}{5} )=4.8$
So, our new rectangle will have a length of 9.6 units and a width of 4.8 units.

2. This time the scale factor is 120%. Just as before, lets convert it into a fraction: $\frac{120}{100} = \frac{6}{5}$ , and just as before lets multiply each side of our triangle by our fraction:
base= $10( \frac{6}{5} )=12$
side= $8( \frac{6}{5} )=9.6$
So, our new isosceles triangle will have a base of 12 units and tow sides of length 9.6 units each.

3. This time the scale factor is 150%. Just as before, lets convert it into a fraction: $\frac{150}{100} = \frac{3}{2}$ , and just as before lets multiply each side of our polygon by our fraction:
$12( \frac{3}{2} )=18$
$15( \frac{3}{2} )=22.5$
$13( \frac{3}{2} )=19.5$
So, our new polygon will have a side of 12 length units, tow sides of 15 length units, and two side of 15 length units.

4. This time our factor is 75%. Just as before, lets convert it into a fraction: $\frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$ , and just as before lets multiply each side of our parallelogram by our fraction:
side= $25( \frac{3}{4} )=18.75$
So, our new parallelogram will have tow sides of length 18.75 units.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1) y=(-1/4)x+(11/4)

2) y=(4)x-33

3) y=(2/3)x-11/3

4) y=(5)x-2

5) y=(3)x-7

6) y=(-1/4)x+(6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y=mx+b 3=(-1/4)(-1)+b b= 11/4

2) y=mx+b -5=(4)(7)+b b= -33

3) y=mx+b -5=(2/3)(-2)+b b= -11/3

4) y=mx+b 3=(5)(1)+b b= -2

5) y=mx+b -1=(-3)(-2)+b b= -7

6) y=mx+b 7=(1/4)(4)+b b= 6
