Let the total weight of the candy = x

We know the total weight is:

X = 3/20x + 1.2 + 3/5x+ 0.3

Simplify:

X= 3/20x + 1.2 + 12/20x + 0.3

X = 15/20x + 1.5

Subtract 15/20x from both sides:

5/20x = 1.5

Divide both sides by 5/20:

X = 1.5 / 5/20

X = 6

Total = 6 pounds.

Triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle inscribed in a circle. The center of the circle is point D and the diameter of the c
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

* AD is congruent to DC and BD <em>true</em>

* m∠B = 90° <em>true</em>

<u>* The measure of arc AC is equal to the measure of arc AB </u><u><em>not be true</em></u><em> ( The right answer  )</em>

* The measure of arc AB is equal to measure of arc BC <em>true</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ D is the center of the circle and A , B and C are points on the circle

∴ AD , DB and DC are radii on the circle D

∴ AD ≡ DC ≡ DB

∵ AC passing through point D which is the center of the circle

∴ AC is the diameter of the circle D

∵ ∠B is opposite to the diameter of the circle and vertex B lies on the circle

∵ ∠B is an inscribed angle and  ∠ADC  is a central angle subtended by the same arc AC

∴m∠B = half m∠ADC

∵ m∠ADC = 180°

∴ m∠B = 90°

∵ The measure of arc AC = 180°

∵ ΔABC is isosceles and m∠B = 90°

∴ m∠BAC = m∠BCA = (180° - 90°) ÷ 2 = 45°

∵ ∠ACB is an inscribed angle subtended by arc AB

∴ m∠ACB = half measure of arc AB

∵ The measure of arc AB = 45° × 2 = 90°

∴ The measure of arc AC ≠ the measure of arc AB

∵ Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle and m∠B = 90°

∴ AB = BC

∵ AB subtended by arc AB

∵ BC subtended by arc BC

∴ The length of arc AB = the length of arc BC

∵ If two arcs are equal in length, then they will be equal in measure

∴ The measure of arc AB is equal to the measure of arc BC

Rewrite the equation 2 x + 3 y = 6 in slope-intercept form<br> I will give brainliest :-)
Vladimir [108]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 6

3y = -2x + 6

divide through by 3

y = (-2/3)x + 6............1

but equation of a straight line is

y = mx + c..............2

compare equation 1&2, m = -2/3 and c = 6

where m = gradient

c = intercept

Please help me out! its urgent!
sineoko [7]

Answer:

<em>x = 7.5 cm </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔBCA ~ ΔECD ⇒ the corresponding sides are proportional.

\frac{AC}{DC} = \frac{AB}{DE}

AC = 4 + 6 = 10 cm

\frac{10}{6} = \frac{x+5}{x} ⇔ 10x = 6(x + 5) ⇒ <em>x = 7.5 cm</em>

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10 and 24, and the third side is x. How many whole number values are possible for x.
solong [7]

Answer:

20.

Step-by-step explanation:

In any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be strictly greater than the length of the third side. For example, if the length of the three sides are a, b, and c:

a + b > c,

a + c > b, and

b + c > a.

In this question, the length of the sides are 10, 24, and x. The length of these sides should satisfty the following inequalities:

10 + 24 > x,

10 + x > 24, and

24 + x > 10.

Since x > 0, the inequality 24 + x > 10 is guarenteed to be satisfied.

Simplify 10 + 24 > x to obtain the inequality x < 35.

Similarly, simplify 10 + x > 24 to obtain the inequality x > 14.

Since x needs to be a whole number, the greatest x that satisfies x < 35 would be 34. Similarly, the least x\! that satisfies x > 14 would be 15. Thus, x\!\! could be any whole number between 15\! and 34\! (inclusive.)

There are a total of 34 - 15 + 1 = 20 distinct whole numbers between 15 and 34 (inclusive.) Thus, the number of possible whole number values for x would be 20.
