Since the numbers are not consecutive natural numbers, how about if I let the 4 numbers be a, b, c, and d?

The sum is given to be 1320.

a + b + c + d =1320...I will call this the first equation.

Can I then say that the second equation is b + c + d = 0.4a + a? Yes, I can do this.

Simplifying my second equation,

I get b + c + d = 1.4a.

Plugging this into my first equation, I get

a +1.4a =1320

2.4a =1320

So, a =1320/(2.4) =550.

Answer: 550

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

We aren't given that they are consecutive so lets just pretend the numbers are x, y, z , and r.

We are given x+y+z+r=1320

We are also given that y+z+r=.4x+x

Simplifying my second equation gives us y+z+r=1.4x. I'm going to plug this into first equation giving me

x+1.4x=1320

2.4x=1320

So x=1320/2.4=550

5x + 4m = 43my + 6 solve for m
pav-90 [236]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  m = (5x -6)/(43y -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4m+6 to separate m-terms from other terms.

  5x +4m -(4m +6) = 43my +6 -(4m +6)

  5x -6 = 43my -4m

  5x -6 = m(43y -4) . . . . factor out m

 (5x -6)/(43y -4) = m . . . . divide by the coefficient of m

SOVA2 [1]
Answers:
Reason 3: Definition of Parallelogram
Reason 4: Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
Reason 5: Reflexive Property of Congruence
Reason 6: ASA Congruence Property

------------------------------------------------------

Explanations:

Explanation for Reason 3: A parallelogram, by definition, has opposite sides that are parallel. It's built into the name more or less. Sides AB and CD are opposite one another in the parallelogram so they are parallel segments

Explanation for Reason 4: Angle ABD is congruent to angle CDB because they are alternate interior angles. They are on the inside of the "train tracks" that are formed by AB and CD. They lay on opposite sides of the transversal BD

Explanation for Reason 5: Any segment is congruent to itself; ie, the same length

Explanation for Reason 6: Using reasons 2,5 and 4, we can use ASA (angle side angle) to prove the two triangles ABD and CDB congruent. Reason 2 is the first "A" in ASA. Reason 5 is the S in ASA. Reason 4 is the other A in ASA. The side is between the two pairs of angles. See the attache image for a visual summary of how ASA is being used.
