Answer:

NO , an angle is not trisected using only a compass and a straight  edge.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two tools a compass and a straight edge

We need to tell if an angle is trisected using them or not.

Answer is NO , an angle is not trisected using only a compass and a straight  edge.

When we draw a semicircle by point pointer of compass at vertex of angle and then draw a line using points we get when semicircle intersects the arms of the angle. We get angle Bisection.

We again try to bisect we get four equal angles not Three.

So It is impossible to make odd numbers of equal angles from a given angle using a compass and a straight edge.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

No. That problem cited is one of 3 great unsolved problems of antiquity. See  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_trisection for details.

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
Karolina [17]
Substitution is where we first Isolate one of the unknowns, express it in terms of the other unknown, and replace the isolated unknown with the other unknown in another equation. So that each time we only need to deal with one unknown. I think you'll get a better idea here:

First name these 2 equations with 1 and 2.
4x + 5y = 7 (1)
y = 3x + 9 (2)

Since y is already isolated in (2), so we can skip the isolation step and continue to substitute.

Substitute (2) into (1).
4x + 5(3x+9) = 7

Expand.
4x + 15x + 45 = 7

Group.
19x + 45 = 7

Shift +45 to the other side and turn it into -45.

19x = 7 - 45
19x = -38

Shift x19 to the other side, turn it into /19.
X = - 38/19
X = - 2

Now we solved x already, we can just substitute x= - 2 back to equation (2).

y = 3(-2) + 9
y = - 6 + 9
y = 3

So, the answers are
x = - 2
y = 3

Your Question:
<span>Laurie buys four bags of candy with 10 pieces of candy in each bag. Her father then gives her 5 more pieces of candy. Laurie wants to give as much of her candy as she can to each of her six friends, and she wants to make sure they each get an equal number of pieces. How many pieces will be left over, if any, after Laurie gives her friends the candy?
My Answer:
If Laurie has four bags with ten pieces in each bag, and if her father gives her five more pieces,  she would have forty-five pieces and if she has six friends and wants to share it equally with six friends. Each friend would get 7 pieces.
