Answer:
x = 67; y = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
You are correct with y. Angles y + 23 and 63 are vertical, so they are congruent. That gives you y + 23 = 63, which gives y = 40.
To find x, look at angles 2x - 17 and 63.
They are adjacent angles whose outside rays lie on a line. Angles like these are called a linear pair, and they are supplementary. That means their measures add up to 180 deg.
2x - 17 + 63 = 180
2x + 46 = 180
2x = 134
x = 67
The answer is B because A+B = your new set of numbers
Answer:
5/24
Step-by-step explanation:
The question in English is
A tank is filled with water daily to give water to the animals on a farm. As required, 3/8 of the water was taken from the tank to give to the horses and 1/3 of what was left in the tank was given to the pigs. The remainder of the tank was distributed in two equal amounts to give water to the birds and pets. What is the fraction of the water that pets receive to drink?
1) 3/8 of the water was taken from the tank to give to the horses
At this point in the tank there are 1-3/8=5/8 of the water of the tank
2) 1/3 of what was left in the tank was given to the pigs
At this point in the tank there are
(1-1/3)*5/8
(2/3)(5/8)=10/24 of the water of the tank
3) The remainder of the tank was distributed in two equal amounts to give water to the birds and pets
The remainder is equal to 10/24
divided by 2
(10/24)/2=10/48
4) The fraction of the water that pets receive to drink is 10/48
simplify
10/48=5/24
Answer: Let's assume that the pig pens need to be fenced in the way shown in the diagram above.

Hence, the dimensions that will give the maximum area are

A graphical check of the initial function shows that the vertex is at
