Answer:

90 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation to find their weights.

Let's start by naming Joan's weight x.

Her sister's weight would then be x+10, since Joan weighs 10 pounds less.

To find the average between 2 numbers, you need to add them together, then divide by 2.

<u>So we can set up the following equation:</u>

(x+x+10)/2=85

Now let's isolate x.

We can first multiply both sides by 2.

x+x+10=170

Combine like terms.

2x+10=170

Subtract 10 from both sides.

2x=160

Subtract both sides by 2.

x=80

Joan weighs 80 pounds.

x+10 is her sister's weight.

80+10=90

Joan's older sister weighs 90 pounds.

Answer:

Joan's older sister weighs 90 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

x = older sister

x - 10 = Joan

(x + (x-10))/2 = 85

2x - 10 = 170

2x = 180

x = 90

Answer:

y = root under 24 (evaluate it if necessary)

or y = 2 root 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the reference angle be x

for the triangle in left,

b = 6-4 = 2

Now,

taking x as refrence angle,

cosx = b/h

or, cosx = 2/h

again,

for the bigger triangle,

taking x as reference angle,

cosx = b/h

or, cosx = b/6

As we can see base of bigger triangle is equal to hypotenuse of triangle at the left,

Let's suppose its a

so, cosx = a/6 = 2/a

now,

a/6 = 2/a

or, a² = 12

now,

for bigger triangle, using pythagoras theorem,

h² = p²+b²

or, 6² = y² + a²

or, 36 = y² + 12

or, y² = 24

so, y = root under 24

Given the following diagram, find the missing measure. m 4 = 2x°, m 2 = (4/3)x°, m 3 = 20°, find x. 10 30 20 60
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<em>B. 30 degrees</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram:

Interior angles are m<3 and m<2

Exterior angle = <4

using the rule that says that the sum of interior angles is equal to the exterior angle we have:

m<2+m<3 = m<4

(4/3)x°+20 = 2x°

multiply through by 3:

4x° + 60 = 6x°

4x°-6x° = -60

-2x° = -60

x°= -60/-2

<em>x° = 30°</em>

Hence the value of x is 30 degrees

Mark drove 50 percent of the distance.
Lapatulllka [165]
Break everything into 8ths.

50% = 1/2=4/8

4/8+1/8=5/8
the remaining distance is 8/8-5/8. so 3/8, not 1/4
