Answer: Meghan spent $687.5 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that Scott spends per year for auto insurance.

Meghan spends 25% more each year for auto insurance than Scott. The value of 25% of the amount that Scott spends per year is

25/100 × x = 0.25 × x = 0.25x

Therefore, the amount that Meghan spends would be

x + 0.25x = 1.25x

If the amount that they spent together is $1237.50 per year, it means that

x + 1.25x = 1237.5

2.25x = 1237.5

x = 1237.5/2.25

x = 550

The amount that Meghan spent per year would be

1.25 × 550 = 687.5

Divide 29 into two parts so that the sun of the squares of the parts is 425.Find the value of each Part.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

13 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 parts be x and y, then

x + y = 29 → (1) and

x² + y² = 425 → (2)

From (1) → x = 29 - y → (3)

substitute x = 29 - y into (2)

(29 - y)² + y² = 425 ( expand factor )

841 - 58y + y² + y² = 425 ( rearrange into standard form )

2y² - 58y + 416 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form

divide all terms by 2

y² - 29y + 208 = 0

Consider the factors of 208 which sum to - 29

These are - 13 and - 16, hence

(y - 13)(y - 16) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for y

y - 13 = 0 ⇒ y = 13

y - 16 = 0 ⇒ y = 16

substitute these values into (3)

x = 29 - 13 = 16 and x = 29 - 16 = 13

The 2 parts are 13 and 16

Circle F is congruent to circle J, and ZEFD = ZGJH.<br> m ZDFE = 80'. What is the measure of H?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

50 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The circles are congruent, so all radii of both circles are congruent.

The given central angles are congruent, so the triangles are congruent by SAS.

Since each triangle has 2 congruent sides (the radii), opposite angles are congruent.

m<DFE = m<J = 80 deg

m<H = m<G = x

m<H + m<G + m<J = 180

x + x + 80 = 180

2x + 80 = 180

2x = 100

x = 50

m<H = 50
