Answer:

The number of students attended was 334 and the number of non students attended was 127

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number students attended

y ----> the number of non students attended

we know that

$x+y=461$ ----> equation A

$3.50x+5.50y=1,867.50$ ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (334,127)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of students attended was 334 and the number of non students attended was 127

Given:

The equation of a line is:

$y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+2$

A line passes through the point (-5,-3) and perpendicular to the given line.

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is:

$y=mx+b$ ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

$y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+2$ ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

$m=-\dfrac{5}{7}$

We know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.

$m_1\times m_2=-1$

$-\dfrac{5}{7}\times m_2=-1$

$m_2=\dfrac{7}{5}$

Slope of the required line is $\dfrac{7}{5}$ and it passes through the point (-5,-3). So, the equation of the line is:

$y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)$

$y-(-3)=\dfrac{7}{5}(x-(-5))$

$y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}(x+5)$

Using distributive property, we get

$y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}(x)+\dfrac{7}{5}(5)$

$y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}x+7$

$y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+7-3$

$y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+4$

Therefore, the equation of the line is $y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+4$ . Hence, option A is correct.

What’s the value of x? :/

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$x = 27$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to congruent chords and arcs theorem, if $\overline{XY} \cong \overline{ZY}$ then $\arc{XY} \cong \arc{ZY}$ .

This means that $\arc{XY} = \arc{ZY} = (6x - 20) degrees$

Thus:

$\arc{XY} + \arc{ZY} + \arc{ZX} = 360$ (full circle = 360°)

$\arc{XY} = (6x - 20)$

$\arc{ZY} = (6x - 20)$

$\arc{ZX} = 76$

Plug in the values into the equation

$(6x - 20) + (6x - 20) + 76 = 360$

$6x - 20 + 6x - 20 + 76 = 360$

Add like terms

$12x + 36 = 360$

Subtract 36 on both sides

$12x = 360 - 36$

$12x = 324$

Divide both sides by 12

$x = 27$

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

520 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to visualize this problem is to sketch a quick diagram.

For this problem, you are given an angle and the length of the side of a triangle. If you look at the diagram, you'll see that the length given is the opposite side of the angle given. For this situation, that means you will use the sine function (refer to SOH-CAH-TOA acronym). Then you plug in the given values and solve for x.

Hope this helps!
