Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
Please be a little more specific on what you want to ask.
I can be of some help.
2 times a number, x, is equal to 6 less than 3 times the number, x.
2x = 3x - 6
-1x = -6
x = 6
The number is 6.
250-3m
m represents months
Not an equation but an expression since I don’t know the number of months he was on the diet.
Answer:
The answer is 40°
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution
Now,
The Measure of major arc FD = 280°
Thus,
One complete angle measure 360°
Then
m∠FED = 360 - 180
m∠FED = 80°
Thus,
FE = DE ( the same circle Radius)
∠EFD = ∠EDF ( opposite angles to equal sides are equal)
Now
Applying angle sum property of a triangle in ΔEFD
∠EFD + ∠EDF + ∠FED = 180°
∠EFD + ∠EFD + 80 = 180
2∠EFD = 100
∠EFD = 50°
Hence, GF is tangent to the circle and the tangent always make right angles with the radius of the circle.
∠EFG = 90°
∠GFD + ∠EFD = 90°
∠GFD + 50 = 90
∠GFD = 40°
Therefore, The measure of the angle GFD is 40°
