Solve for y. -3/y=6 Simplify your answer as much as possible.

1 answer:

7 0

Solving for "y" means that we need to get y to be on one side of the equation. It should look like y= something. To get the y by itself, we need to get rid of that -3. To do that, we'll have to divide by -3 (because even though there's a y being divided, the -3 is still the numerator). 6/-3 is -1/2. Therefore your answer is y=-1/2

A total of $228,000 will be evenly spent to renovate 24 apartments. If the first 10 apartments have been completed and paid for,

tigry1 [53]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate per apartment;

⟼ 228,000 ÷ 24

⟼ 9,500

Step 2: Multiply the price per apartment by 10;

⟼ 9,500 × 10

⟼ 95,000

Step 3: Substract the amount of 10 apartments from 24 apartments.

⟼ 228,000 - 95,000

⟼ 133,000

Therefore, $133,000 is still available for the remaining apartments.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The arc PR is $\theta _{PR} = 84$

Step-by-step explanation:

A descriptive diagram of the diagram given in the question is shown on the first uploaded image

In the circle tangent $\= {M \= Q}$ , secant $PE$ and chord $PF$ are drawn

given that $\theta _ {MPQ} = 102^o$ , $\theta _{M} = 60^o$

The objective is to determine PR

From the diagram we see that MQ is a straight which implies that the the angle

$\theta_{NPM} = 180 -102$

$\theta_{NPM} = 78^o$

Now looking at triangle NMP we see that

$\theta _{MNP} = 180 -[ \theta_{NMP} + \theta _{NPM}]$

$\theta _{MNP} = 180 - [60 + 78 ]$

$\theta _{MNP} = 42 ^o$

Now the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its arc intercepted, this statement is the inscribed angle theorem

So with the knowledge

Then

$\theta_{RNP} = \frac{1}{2} \theta_{PR}$

Looking at the diagram we see that

$\theta _{MNP} = \theta_{RNP} = 42 ^o$

$42 = \frac{1}{2} \theta _{PR}$

$\theta _{PR} = 2 * 42$

$\theta _{PR} = 84$

In rhombus FGHJ, m∠1=37°. What is m∠2?

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

m∠2 = 53°

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use two properties of a rhombus to solve this problem.

1). Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.

2). Diagonals bisect the angles.

Since ∠JFG and ∠JHG are the opposite angles of the rhombus,

m∠JFG = m∠JHG

Since, diagonal FH bisect ∠JHG,

m∠FHJ = m∠GHF = m∠JFH = m∠GFH = 37°

In triangle JFH,

m∠FHJ + m∠JFH + m∠HJF = 180°

37° + 37° + m∠HJF = 180°

m∠HJF = 180 - 74

= 106°

Since, diagonal GJ bisects angle HJF,

m∠FJG = $\frac{106}{2}$ = 53°

Therefore, m∠2 = 53°.
