Answer:

She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.

Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.

Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)

Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.

To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.

Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)

Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.

From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:

25(12 - s) + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 15s = 180

15s = 300 - 180

15s = 120

S = 120/15

S = 8

S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4

Find A if B = 50° and α + β = 100°
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A=30

Step-by-step explanation:

We know through the Angle Sum Property of A Triangle that

all its angles add up to 180 degrees

Hence, A + (a+b) +B= 180

A+100+50=180

A+150=180

A=30
