Use the distributive property.

3(6 + x) = 24
18 + 3x = 24
3x = 6
x = 2

Answer:

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (6 + x) = 24

3 * 6 + 3*x =24

So then 18 + 3x = 24

Move 18 under to 24

Do 24-18

Then you get 6

6/3

Then, X=2

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine which of the following give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle

kakasveta [241]

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:

$c^2=a^2+b^2.$

The hypotenuse is the side with the greatest length.

Check all options:

1. c=5, a=3, b=4:

$5^2=25,\\3^2+4^2=9+16=25,\\5^2=3^2+4^2$ true.

2. c=14, a=4, b=11:

$14^2=196,\\4^2+11^2=16+121=137,\\14^2\neq 4^2+11^2$ false.

3. c=17, a=9, b=14:

$17^2=289,\\9^2+14^2=81+196=277,\\17^2\neq 9^2+14^2$ false.

4. c=16, a=8, b=14:

$16^2=256,\\8^2+14^2=64+196=260,\\16^2\neq 8^2+14^2$ false.

5. c=17, a=8, b=15:

$17^2=289,\\8^2+15^2=64+225=289,\\17^2=8^2+15^2$ true.

Answer: correct options are A and E.

If 100 cats kill 100 mice in 100 days, then 4 cats would kill 4 mice in how many days ?

Gemiola [76]

If 100 cats killed 100 mice in 100 days, you can say that each cat killed one mouse the day after the last cat. So, if four cats killed four mice, and we're going of off the same basis that each cat killed one mouse the day after the last cat, then the answer would be 4.

There are 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies to be sold at the school bake sale. What is the greatest number of packages of baked items

Sav [38]

The greatest number of packages of baked items that can be sold is 10

Solution:

Given that there are 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies to be sold at the school bake sale

To find: greatest number of packages of baked items that can be sold

Each package has the same number of cupcakes and same number of cookies with none left over

So, we have to find the greatest common factor of 50 and 160

The greatest number that is a factor of two (or more) other numbers.

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

Greatest common factor of 50 and 160:

The factors of 50 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The factors of 160 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160

Then the greatest common factor is 10

So the greatest number of packages sold is 10

Each package will contain:

Given that there 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies

Number of cupcakes in 1 package:

$\rightarrow \frac{50}{10} = 5$

Number of cookies in 1 package:

$\rightarrow \frac{160}{10} = 16$

So each package has the same number of cupcakes and same number of cookies with none left over
