Answer:

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

Question 2 help please

Answer:

The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In any triangle, the sum of the measures of its interior angle is 180°
  • In the isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal in measures

∵ In an isosceles triangle, the measure of the base angle = (2x + 5)

∵ The base angles of the isosceles triangles are equal in measures

∴ The measures of the base angles are (2x + 5), (2x + 5)

∵ The measure of the vertex angle = (5x - 1)

∵ The sum of the measure of the three angles = 180°

∴ (2x + 5) + (2x + 5) + (5x - 1) = 180

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (2x + 2x + 5x) + (5 + 5 + -1) = 180

∴ 9x + 9 = 180

→ Subtract 9 from both sides

∴ 9x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9

∴ 9x = 171

→ Divide both sides by 9 to find x

∴ x = 19

→ Substitute the value of x in the measure of the vertex angle to find it

∵ The measure of the vertex angle = 5x - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 5(19) - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 95 - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 94°

∴ The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees

The Ironman endurance race has a 2.4 miles swim. Javier can swim 0.5 miles in 20 minutes. If he can continue this pace, it will
Dafna1 [17]

Given :

The Ironman endurance race has a 2.4 miles swim.

Javier can swim 0.5 miles in 20 minutes.

To Find :

How much time in hours it takes to complete the race.

Solution :

Speed of Javier :

s=\dfrac{2.4}{\dfrac{20}{60}}\ mph\\\\s= 7.2\ mph

Let, time taken to cover 2.4 miles is t .

So,

t = \dfrac{2.4}{7.2}\ hours\\\\t = 0.33\ hours

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the common factor of the numerator and denominator in the expression <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%282x%2
mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4)

What you are being asked to do is find the exact same binomial in the top as is in the bottom.

But there's a small catch. You must stipulate that x cannot equal 4. If it does, then you will get 0/0 which is undefined. You can't have that happening -- not at this level.

Any other value for x is fine.

For the function f(x)=x2−24÷3+12<br><br> f(1) <br><br><br> ​f(0)​ <br><br><br> ​f(−1)​
LuckyWell [14K]

Put the values of x to the equation of the function.

f(x)=\dfrac{x^2-24}{3}+12

f(1)=\dfrac{1^2-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{1-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{-23}{3}+12=-7\dfrac{2}{3}+12=4\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\f(0)=\dfrac{0^2-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{-24}{3}+12=-8+12=4\\\\f(-1)=\dfrac{(-1)^2-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{1-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{-23}{3}+12=-7\dfrac{2}{3}+12=4\dfrac{1}{3}

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
timurjin [86]

Answer:

f=22 degrees, g=89 degrees

step by step explaination:

When two lines are parallel to one another, and a line is drawn between them, any angle labeled will be equal to the angle on the opposite side of the middle line. This would make f=h, g=d, and even the angle 69 equal to angle e.
