Let's set 'a' as the coins the first brother recieves (the youngest) and for every older brother, we will add 'x' (the constant number)
Since we know the sum has to be equal to 100, our equation is:
100=a+(a+x)+(a+2x)+(a+3x)+...+(a+8x)+(a+9x)

the 7th oldest brother is the 3rd youngest, therefore, if we look at our equation, he gets (a+2x) - we know now that 7=a+2x

We can now simplify the first equation by summing up our 'x' and 'a'
we get: 100=10a+45x

In order to resolve the equation (since we have 2 variables), we can use the subtraction method
<span>
  100=10a+45x 
-10(7=a+2x) 

</span>  100=10a+45x 
<span>-(70=10a+20x) 
</span><span>
30=25x
1.2 = x

and for 'a' ->  7 = a +2(1.2)
a=4.6

Therefore, the youngest gets 4.6 coins (a), the second 5.8 (a+x) ...

Solve the equation for principal values of x. Express solutions in degrees.
Hitman42 [59]

Option C:

x = 90°

Solution:

Given equation:

\sin x=1+\cos ^{2} x

<u>To find the degree:</u>

\sin x=1+\cos ^{2} x

Subtract 1 + cos²x from both sides.

\sin x-1-\cos ^{2} x=0

Using the trigonometric identity:\cos ^{2}(x)=1-\sin ^{2}(x)

\sin x-1-\left(1-\sin ^{2}x\right)=0

\sin x-1-1+\sin ^{2}x=0

\sin x-2+\sin ^{2}x=0

\sin ^{2}x+\sin x-2=0

Let sin x = u

u^2+u-2=0

Factor the quadratic equation.

(u+2)(u-1)=0

u + 2 = 0,  u – 1 = 0

u = –2, u = 1

That is sin x = –2, sin x = 1

sin x can't be smaller than –1 for real solutions. So ignore sin x = –2.

sin x = 1

The value of sin is 1 for 90°.

x = 90°.

Option C is the correct answer.

A metal bar weighs 9.25 ounces. 65% of the bar is gold. how many ounces of gold is in the bar?
Elza [17]
Not sure I'm right but:

If the bar weighs 9.25 ounces and 65% of the bar is gold, you'd do 65% of 9.25. So the answer would be <span>65% of 9.25= 6.0125</span>

Answer:

37 & 67

Step-by-step explanation:

11 & 33

  • 11 - 1, 11
  • 11 is prime
  • 33 - 1, 3, 11, 33
  • 33 is composite number
  • 11 & 33 is incorrect

42 & 56

  • 42 - 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
  • 56 - 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56
  • Both 42 and 56 are composite numbers
  • 42 & 56 is incorrect

37 & 67

  • 37 - 1, 37
  • 67 - 1, 67
  • Both 37 and 67 are prime numbers
  • 37 & 56 is correct

57 & 97

  • 57 - 1, 3, 19, 57
  • 97 - 1, 97
  • 57 is a composite number, 97 is a prime number
  • 57 & 97 is incorrect

Anyone know this please???
Kazeer [188]

Answer: Choice A

The triangles are congruent because both the corresponding sides of the triangles and the corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent.

==============================================

Explanation:

Congruent triangles are identical copies of one another. This means the corresponding pieces must be the same.

It's like saying two houses are identical, so that means the all the various parts (eg: front door, windows, etc) must be identical. If let's say the two front doors were different, then the houses wouldn't be completely identical.

Going back to the triangles, we know that the sides are congruent by the tickmarks

  • side MN = side RS (single tickmark)
  • side NP = side ST (double tickmarks)
  • side MP = side RT (triple tickmarks)

That takes care of the first part of choice A.

And similarly, the angle markers tell us which angles are congruent

  • angle M = angle R  (single arc)
  • angle N = angle S (90 degree angle marker)
  • angle P = angle T (double arc)

That concludes the second part of choice A.
