Answer:

x<84

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write an inequality. We know it is not an equation because of the words "less than". Also, x and 8 are being added because of the word "and". Here's the inequality: x+8 < 72. Now, subtract 8 on both sides so x is isolated. Our simplified inequality looks like this: x < 84.

Guys please help! In triangle CDE, the measure of angle C is 90 degrees, side CD is 15 and DE is 3 more than CE. Find the length

AURORKA [14]

You can calculate it using the law of cosines: c^2=a^2+b^2-2*a*b*cos(C)

your triangle is
CD=15=a
CE=?=b
DE=CE+3=b+3=c
and C=90°

-> insert those values, with c substituted with b+3 to remove c

c^2=a^2+b^2-2*a*b*cos(C)
(b+3)^2=15^2+b^2-2*15*b*cos(90)
cos(90)=0->
(b+3)^2=15^2+b^2
b^2+2*3*b+3^2=225+b^2
6b+9=225
6b=216
b=36=CE

DE=CE+3=36+3=39

Seven apple women, possessing respectively 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The amount each took home was 20 unit currency.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Seven apple women, possessing respectively 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 apples, went to market and sold all their apples at the same price, and each received the same sum of money.

Formula : $a \times n + (n - 1)$ , $(a + b)\cdot n + (n - 2)$ , $(a + 2 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 3)$ , $(a + 3 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 4)$ , $(a + 4 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 5)$ , $(a + 5 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 6)$ , $(a + 6 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 7)$

$a \cdot n + (n - 1) = 20$

$(a + b) \cdot n + (n - 2)=40$

$(a + 2 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 3) = 60$

$(a + 3 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 4) = 80$

$(a + 4 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 5) = 100$

$(a + 5 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 6) = 120$

$(a + 6 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 7) = 140$

On solving :

n = 7, a = 2, b = 3

So,

$2 \times 7 + 6 = 20$

$5 \times 7 + 5=40$

$8 \times 7 + 4 = 60$

$11 \times 7 + 3 = 80$

$14 \times 7 + 2 = 100$

$17 \times 7 + 1 = 120$

Based on market pricing if groups of apples are sold at 1 unit currency for 7, and extras are sold for 3 unit currency per extra 1, we have the amount :

2×1 + 6×3 = 20

5×1 + 5×3=20

8×1 + 4×3 = 20

11×1 + 3×3 = 20

14×1 + 2×3 = 20

17×1 + 1×3 = 20

20×1 = 20

Therefore, the amount each took home was 20 unit currency.
