A group of 75 math students were asked whether they like algebra and whether they like geometry. A total of 45 students like alg

ebra, 53 like geometry, and 6 do not like algebra or geometry.
What are the correct values of a, b, c, d, and e?


a = 16, b = 29, c = 22, d = 30, e = 24

a = 29, b = 16, c = 30, d = 22, e = 24

a = 16, b = 29, c = 24, d = 22, e = 30

a = 29, b = 16, c = 24, d = 30, e = 22

It is very easy to find the values for a, b, c, d and e. All you have to do is use the Algebra vs. Geometry table to use the given values to find the rest. Please see attachment to see the table. For example if we want to find e we simply subtract 53 from 75. This way e = 22, then use this to find the next value which will be b.



The answer is:

a = 29, b = 16, c = 24, d = 30 and e = 22

Let x be the number of students that like both algebra and geometry. Then:

1. 45-x is the number of students that like only algebra;

2. 53-x is the number of students that like only geometry.

You know that 6 students do not like any subject at all and there are 75 students in total. If you add the number of students that like both subjects, the number of students that like only one subject and the number of students that do not like any subject, you get 75. Therefore,

x+45-x+53-x+6=75.

Solve this equation:

104-x=75,

x=104-75,

x=29.

You get that:

  1. 29 students like both subjects;
  2. 45-29=16 students like only algebra;
  3. 53-29=24 students like only geometry;
  4. 24+6=30 students do not like algebra;
  5. 16+6=22 students do not like geometry.

The correct choice is D.

42. Which matrix represents the image of the triangle with vertices at (-2,0), (1,5), and (4,-8) when dilated by a scale factor
jasenka [17]

The second matrix \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&3&12\\0&15&-24\end{array}\right] represents the triangle dilated by a scale factor of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To calculate the scale factor for any dilation, we divide the coordinates after dilation by the same coordinated before dilation.

The coordinates of a vertice are represented in the column of the matrix. Since there are three vertices, there are 2 rows with 3 columns. The order of the matrices is 2 × 3.

Step 2:

If we form a matrix with the vertices (-2,0), (1,5), and (4,-8), we get

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&1&4\\0&5&-8\end{array}\right]

The scale factor is 3, so if we multiply the above matrix with 3 throughout, we will get the matrix that represents the vertices of the triangle after dilation.

Step 3:

The matrix that represents the triangle after dilation is given by

3\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&1&4\\0&5&-8\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3(-2)&3(1)&3(4)\\3(0)&3(5)&3(-8)\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&3&12\\0&15&-24\end{array}\right]

This is the second option.

The first tern of an arithmetic sequence is -3 and the fifteenth term id 53. What is the common difference of the sequence?
arsen [322]
The common difference is 4. U know that the formula is the first term + d(n -1). N-1 is 14 so u know that 14 times a number needs to equal 56 because the first term is -3 and 56-3 is 53. 14 * 4 is 56. So the common difference is 4

GIVING BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP How many triangles can you make with side lengths of 3mm, 7mm, and 4.69mm? (explain in words or nu
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Three side lengths that meet the requirements of the triangle inequality will form exactly one triangle.

_____

The triangle inequality requires the sum of the short sides be at least as long as the long side. Here, we have 3 + 4.69 = 7.69 > 7, so we satisfy the triangle inequality.

The side lengths can be arranged in clockwise or counterclockwise order, least to greatest. Each triangle is a reflection of the other, so they are considered to be the same triangle (congruent).

kati45 [8]

All squares are equal sides.Let X be the side of a square.\\Area of square,A = x^2

Here a tile is a square of side length 'x'. The following  polynomial represents,

(x - 4) represents "the width of the new tile" (because 4 inches cut from the tile)

4x represents "the area removed from the tile" (since one side of removed tile is 'x' and other is 4 inches.)

x2  represents "area of original tile" of side equal to 'x'

x represents "the length of the new tile" (since length of new tile  is not reduced. Length =x and breadth is x-4
