If 21 is added to (+ 21) a number (x) the result (=) is 40 less than (- 40) twice the number (2x)
x + 21 = 2x - 40 Add 40 to both sides
x + 61 = 2x Subtract x from both sides
61 = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = 61
Answer:
SAS theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
If 
and m∠ECD = m∠BCA, then the triangles are similar by the SAS theorem.
So, and m∠ECD = m∠BCA because vertical angles are congruent
Therefore ΔECD is similar to ΔBCA by SAS theorem
4. Let the numbers be x - 2, x, and x + 2, where x is an odd number.
2(x² - 4) - 4x = (x + 2)² + 21
2x² - 8 - 4x = x² + 4x + 4 + 21
2x² - 4x - 8 = x² + 4x + 25
x² - 8x - 33 = 0
(x - 11)(x + 3) = 0
x = 11, or -3
When x = 11, x - 2 = 9, x + 2 = 13
When x = -3, x - 2 = -5, x + 2 = -1
Explanation: You are on the right track. However, rather than having three unknown variables, try to reduce your working out to one unknown variable. Since you know they are consecutive odd numbers, you can simply let x be the middle term and the other two be + and - 2, provided x is an odd number.
That will reduce your variable issues, and helps as the first and third provide a difference of two squares, and this works out very nicely.
Q5: is essentially the same process. Let your variables be something in the form of one unknown variable, and you should be okay from there. Let me know if you're stuck.
An illusionist needs up to 10 volunteers for a show. the illusionist needs no fewer than 4 female volunteers. let x represent the number of femalevolunteers and y represent the number of male volunteers.which inequalities model the situation?select each correct answer.
A- x + y < 10
<span>B- x + y ≤ 10 & </span>x ≥ 4
C- x > 4
D- x ≥ 4
E- y > 0
G- y ≥ 0
Solution :
option "B" is correct. Because the total number of male and female should be upto 10. and the number of female should be equal or greater than 4 but not less than it.
Step-by-step explanation:
it's something in algebra i don't remember but basically the top number (12) has the x on the bottom which is multiplication and the bottom number (8) has addition so those tell u how ur supposed to get those numbers
so basically u need to find two numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to 12 so the factors are 6 and 2 because 6 • 2 is 12 and 6 + 2 = 8. hope this helps
