Answer: The number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x,

1/3 of the number is the same as 1/3 of x , so from the first statement , we have

16 + \frac{1}{3}x = 3x

Multiplying the equation through by 3 , we have

48 + x = 9x

48 = 9x - x

48 = 8x

divide through by 8

therefore :

x = 6

Therefore : the number is 6

Which of the following sets of numbers could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
kicyunya [14]

Answer is C. 8, 3, 6

To answer this, you must know the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

The two shortest sides when added together, must be greater than the longest side.

A. 2 + 4= 6 which can't work since it equals the longest side of 6

B. 4 +2=6 The sum would be less than 8, which doesn't work

C. 6 +3 = 9 the sum is greater than 8, which makes it a triangle

D. 3 +8 = 11 11 is less than 12

Viefleur [7K]

Answer: D) 155

Step-by-step explanation:

let <A, <B,<C are three angles in a triangle.

sum of the three angles in a triangle is 180degree.

<A+<B+<C=180

130+<B+<C=180 since one angle is given

<B+<C =180-130

<B+<C=50

(<B+<C)/2=25----(1)after bisecting sum of the angles

required angle =180-25=155

d is correct answer
