Step-by-step explanation:

9x - 2 = 5x + 54 because these angles are corresponding

9x - 5x = 54 + 2 add/subtract like terms

4x = 56 and this divided by 4

x = 14

9x - 2 + 10y + 6 = 180° because these two angles makes a straight line

9×14 - 2 + 10y + 6 = 180°

126 - 2 + 10y + 6 = 180° add like terms

130 + 10y = 180° subtract 130 from both sides

10y = 50 divide by 10

y = 10

* The nth term of sequence A is 3n − 2 The nth term of sequence B is 10 − 2n Sally says there is only one number that is in both

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Sally is not right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two sequences which have their respective $n^{th}$ terms as following:

Sequence A. $3n - 2$

Sequence B. $10 - 2n$

As per Sally, there exists only one number which is in both the sequences.

To find:

Whether Sally is correct or not.

Solution:

For Sally to be correct, we need to put the $n^{th}$ terms of the respective sequences as equal and let us verify that.

$3n-2=10-2n\\\Rightarrow 3n+2n=10+2\\\Rightarrow 5n=12\\\Rightarrow n = \dfrac{12}{5}$

When we talk about $n^{th}$ terms, $n$ here is a whole number not a fractional number.

But as per the statement as stated by Sally $n$ is a fractional number, only then the two sequences can have a number which is in the both sequences.

Therefore, no number can be in both the sequences A and B.

Hence, Sally is not right.

The Bobcats had a win-loss record of 41-23 before their star player, Melissa, got injured. Melissa didn’t play in any more games

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The win percentage decreased by 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to fin the total games played right before Melissa got Injured

41+23=64

Then you need to find the win percentage by making a fraction of wins over total games

wins/total games = 41/64 = 64%

Then you need to find the number of games played after Melissa got injured

54-41 = 13 wins

34-23 = 11 losses

13+11 = 24 total games played without Melissa

You find that win percentage similarly to the first time

wins/total games = 13/24 = 54%

Then you find the difference in the percentages and there you have it!!

64% - 54% = 10%

It decreased as well therefore the answer is...

It decreased by 10%

Explain and correct the error made by a student who simplified this expression.

blagie [28]

Answer:

7x+54

Step-by-step explanation:

because you distribute the 7 to the x and the 8 first then you bring that down which becomes 7x+56 then you to the addition so you do 56+-2 which would give you 54.

The perimeter of a rectangular baking sheet is 58 inches and its area is 201.25 in.2. What are the length and width of the bakin

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$Length=17.5\ in\\\\Width=11.5\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the Area of a rectangle is:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

And the formula for calculate the peimeter of a rectangle is:

$P=2l+2w$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

We know that the perimeter of the rectangular baking sheet is 58 inches and its area is 201.25 in². Then:

$A=201.25\ in^2\\\\P=58\ in$

<u>The steps are:</u>

1. Solve for the "l" from the formula $A=lw$ :

$A=lw\\\\l=\frac{A}{w}\\\\\l=\frac{201.25}{w}$

2. Substitute $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ into the formula $P=2l+2w$ and solve for "w":

$58=2(\frac{201.25}{w})+2w\\\\58=\frac{402.5}{w}+2w\\\\58=\frac{402.5+2w^2}{w}\\\\58w=402.5+2w^2\\\\2w^2-58w+402.5=0$

Applying the Quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , we get:

$x=w=\frac{-(-58)\±\sqrt{(-58)^2-4(2)(402.5)}}{2(2)}\\\\w_1=17.5\\\\w_2=11.5$

3. Substitute $w_1=17.5$ into $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ :

$l=\frac{201.25}{17.5}=11.5$

4. Substitute $w_2=11.5$ into $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ :

$l=\frac{201.25}{11.5}=17.5$

Therefore, since the value of the lenght of a rectangle must be greater that the value of the width, we can conclude that the lenght and the width of the rectangular baking sheet are:

$l=17.5\ in\\\\w=11.5\ in$
