Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by reducing the ratio to its smallest value. This is the same as 1:14

We know from the question that the number of apple eater takes the 14 ratio part. We can make the calculations for the total number first then make a subtraction to get the number of apple eaters.

Firstly, we add the ratios together:

1 + 14 = 15

Let the total number of reindeers be T

14/15 * T = 517

T = (15 * 517)/14 = 554

To get the the number of apple loving Reindeers, we then subtract.

This is 554 - 517 = 37

What number plus 2 less than 3 times the number equals 14
Afina-wow [57]

Obviously this will be a negative number

-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x

 

-16 = 2x

x = %28-16%29%2F2

x = -8 is the number

:

:

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8

3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14

-24 - 2 = -40 + 14

-26 = -26

What is the perimeter, in units, of polygon UVWXYZ? Enter your answer in the box.
nikitadnepr [17]

Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

To find:

The perimeter of the polygon UVWXYZ.

Solution:

All sides and vertical and horizontal. So, we can easily find the side lengths of the given polygon by counting the boxes between two points.

From the figure it is clear that,

UV = 9 units

VW = 2 units

WX = 3 units

XY = 3 units

YZ = 6 units

ZU = 5 units

Now, perimeter is the sum of all the sides.

Perimeter=UV+VW+WX+XY+YZ+ZU

Perimeter=9+2+3+3+6+5

Perimeter=28

Therefore, the perimeter of UVWXYZ is 28 units.
