Answer:

This construction shows how to draw the perpendicular bisector of a given line segment with compass and straightedge or ruler. This both bisects the segment (divides it into two equal parts, and is perpendicular to it. It finds the midpoint of the given line segment.

lora16 [44]

Let the number of matinee tickets they bought be t, the number of drinks bought be d and the number of popcorn bags bought be p, then the amount the spend on the number of drinks and bags of popcorn they bought is given by $5.5d+6p+2(6.5)=5.5d+6p+13$ .

The coefficients in the expression are 5.5 and 6 while the constant is 13 and the variables are d and p.

Y = -9x - 2; (4, -37)

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

B. No the ordered pair does not satisfy the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -9x - 2

Substitute the point in and see if it is true

-37 = -9(4) -2

-37 = -36 -2

-37 = -38

This is not true so the point is not a solution

Help please if anyone knows

Part A
To estimate this, we should first look at our fractions and see if they can be combined to form a whole number. In this case, $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ equal approximately 1. We can add this "1" to the other to full gallons to estimate that the painter needs about 3 gallons.

Part B
To find the exact amount, we should first change the mixed numbers to improper fractions. We do this by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, adding the numerator, and placing that value over the denominator.

$1 \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ (5*1)+3 =8 \\ \\ \frac{8}{5} \\ \\ \\ \\ 1 \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ (3*1)+2=5 \\ \\ \frac{5}{3} 
$

Now, we need to find the least common denominator. This is the lowest value that both denominators will divide evenly into. In this case, that number is 15.

Next, we should multiply both fractions so that the denominator is that number. Remember that we must also multiply the numerator for the fraction to remain equivalent to its original value.

$\frac{8}{5} *3 = \frac{24}{15} \\ \\ \frac{5}{3} *5 = \frac{25}{15}$

Now, we can simply add our numerators.

$25+24=49$

We know that he needs $\frac{49}{15}$ gallons of paint, but this is not in the most simplified format. To simplify, we need to turn our improper fraction back to a mixed number. To do this, we need to divide our numerator by the denominator to create our whole number, and the remainder becomes our new numerator.

$\frac{49}{15} \\ \\ 49 / 15 = 3(Remainder: 4) \\ \\ 3\frac{4}{15}$

Using that logic, we can see that the painter needs exactly $3 \frac{4}{15}$ gallons of paint.

Jerry started doing sit-ups every day. The first day he did 18 sit-ups. Every day after that he did 4 more sit-ups than he had d

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

18 + (4*5) = 38

because 4 * 5 is 20 then 20 + 18 is 38, and that's your answer.

have a nice day! :)

164 is 55% of what number? Please somebody help me

monitta

This is how you solve it; but first of all convert the percent into a decimal;55%= 0.55

0.55x = 164 (divide by 0.55 on both sides)
x = 164/0.55
x = 298.18 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
so 164 is 55% of 298.18(rounded)
