Answer:

The number of the Democrats are 14 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of Republicans are x.

As given

A committee in Congress is made up of 19 members, and there are 9 more Democrats than Republicans on it.

Thus

Number of Democrats = 9 + x

Than the equation becomes

9 + x + x = 19

9 + 2x = 19

2x = 19 - 9

2x = 10

x = \frac{10}{2}

x = 5

The number of Republicans are 5.

Thus

Number of Democrats = 9 + 5

                                       = 14

Therefore the number of the Democrats are 14 .

Answer:

If it says (10a + 4): 40a + 16

If it says (10a - 4): 40a - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's an equilateral quadrilateral, that means all sides are equal. So you would multiply the given side by the number of sides. Then simplify you equation.

I can't read it if it says (10a + 4) or (10a - 4) so i'll just do both and you can use which one it says.

If it says (10a + 4):

4(10a + 4)

40a + 16

If it says (10a - 4)

4(10a - 4)

40a - 16

If nx10^p is a positive number written in scientific notation which statements must be true? Select all that apply
liq [111]

For this case we have the following number written in scientific notation:


n * 10 ^ p

We know that this number is greater than zero because it is a positive number.

Therefore, the following statements are true:

p ∈ (-∞, ∞)

n must be between 1 and 10

n ∈ [1, 10]

Answer:

The following statements are correct about the number written in scientific notation:

p ∈ (-∞, ∞)

n ∈ [1, 10]

Answer:

BH = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid theorem states that the centroid of a triangle is 2/3 of the distance from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

That means that BH is 2/3 of the length BF.

BH = (2/3)(BF)

BH = (2/3)(24)

BH = 16
