Answer:

Nick = 21 pencils

Lance = 63 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick = N

Lance = 3N

Nick + Lance = 84

Substitute

N + 3N = 84

Add

4N = 84

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

N = 21

Nick = 21 pencils

Lance = N(3) = 21(3) = 63 pencils

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Let Lance represented by L and Nick represented by N

As per the statement:

Lance has three times as many pencils as Nick

⇒L = 3N         .....[1]

It is also given that:

They have 84 pencils together.

⇒L+N = 84               .....[2]

Substitute the equation [1] into [2] we have;

3N+N = 84

⇒4N = 84

Divide both sides by 4 we have;

N = 21

Substitute this in [1] we have;

L = 3(21) = 63

Therefore, Lance has 63 pencils and Nick has 21 pencils

You were given 12 math problems for homework. You completed 5/12 of them at school. Which equation shows how to find the fractio
gogolik [260]

Answer:

7/12

Imagine this:

you had a block set with 12 blocks in it

you built a tower with 5 blocks (5/12)

You have 7 blocks left (7/12)

5/12 + 7/12 = 12/12 = 1

Answer only if you know<br><br> HELP PART A AND PART B
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answers:

  • Part A) There is one pair of parallel sides
  • Part B) (-3, -5/2) and (-1/2, 5/2)

====================================================

Explanation:

Part A

By definition, a trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The other opposite sides aren't parallel. In this case, we'd need to prove that PQ is parallel to RS by seeing if the slopes are the same or not. Parallel lines have equal slopes.

------------------------

Part B

The midsegment has both endpoints as the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.

The midpoint of segment PS is found by adding the corresponding coordinates and dividing by 2.

x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-4+(-2))/2 = -6/2 = -3

y coord = (y1+y2)/2 = (-1+(-4))/2 = -5/2

The midpoint of segment PS is (-3, -5/2)

Repeat those steps to find the midpoint of QR

x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-2+1)/2 = -1/2

y coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (3+2)/2 = 5/2

The midpoint of QR is (-1/2, 5/2)

Join these midpoints up to form the midsegment. The midsegment is parallel to PQ and RS.
