Change the messy words into numerals
3     times          a number         minus            2           equals         13
3          ×                n                     -                 2               =               13

3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2)  = 13 + (2)
3n = 15

Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n
\frac{3n}{3} = \frac{15}{3}
3 and 3 cancels out

n = 5

check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3     ×    5       -      2     =     13
15    -      2        =          13
13            =               13

The number is 5

the graph shows the number of wimbledon championships of several countries. Write the ration that compares the championships won
arlik [135]

Answer:

The ratio that compares the championships won by Australia to the total number won by the United States is equal to \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Observing the graph

we know that

The championships won by Australia are 6

The championships won by the United States are 15

To find out the ratio, divide the championships won by Australia by the total number won by the United States.

so

\frac{6}{15}

Simplify

Divide by 3 boths (numerator and denominator)

\frac{2}{5}

Convert to percentage

\frac{2}{5}=0.40*100=40\%

that means

For every 2 championships won by Australia the United States won 5

or

The championships won by Australia are 40% of the championships won by the United States

larisa [96]

∠MHJ and ∠LHK are vertical angles, so:

mMHJ=mLHK\\\\2x-20=x+15\\\\2x-x=15+20\\\\\boxed{x=35}

and

mMHJ=(2x-20)^\circ=(2\cdot35-20)^\circ=(70-20)^\circ=\boxed{50^\circ}

While working on the roof of his house, John leans a 15 foot ladder against a second story window. If the distance on the ground
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

12 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A ladder leans a 15 foot ladder against a second story window.

The distance on the ground between the base of the ladder and the house is 9 feet.

We need to find the height of the ladder. Let it is h.

If we consider a right angles triangle such that 15 foot is hypotenuse, 9 feet is base, then we need to find the perpendicular height of the triangle. Using Pythagoras theorem to find it.

15^2=9^2+h^2\\\\h^2=15^2-9^2\\\\h^2=225-81\\\\h=12\ \text{foot}

So, the height of the ladder that reaches the second story window is 12 foot.
