68 more than the quotient of an unknown number and 54 is 72.

68 + (x / 54) = 72 68 + (x / 54) • 54 = 72 • 54 68 + x = 72 • 54 68 + x = 3,888 68 + x - 68 = 3,888 - 68 x = 3,888 - 68 x = 3,820 I'm pretty sure this is right. Good luck!

Answer:

$\frac{1}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what it is trying to say is that it wants the solution to multiplying all of those. The (...) simply means that it wants you to continue that pattern in what you are supposed to be multiplying, but stop at $\frac{24}{25}$ .

That would mean you are technically supposed to be multiplying:

$\frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} \frac{3}{4} \frac{4}{5} \frac{5}{6} \frac{6}{7} \frac{7}{8} \frac{8}{9} \frac{9}{10} \frac{10}{11} \frac{11}{12} \frac{12}{13} \frac{13}{14} \frac{14}{15} \frac{15}{16} \frac{16}{17} \frac{17}{18} \frac{18}{19} \frac{19}{20} \frac{20}{21} \frac{21}{22} \frac{22}{23} \frac{23}{24} \frac{24}{25}$

That is a lot and unfortunately, none of the individual fractions can be simplified within that. The final answer would be able to be simplified, though.

Multiplying the first four shown: $\frac{1}{2}\frac{2}{3} \frac{3}{4} \frac{4}{5}$ you end up with $\frac{24}{120}$ . Both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) are divisible by 24. Dividing top and bottom would simplify this to $\frac{1}{5}$ .

Now, let's take the next four.

$\frac{5}{6}\frac{6}{7} \frac{7}{8} \frac{8}{9}$ allows you to end up with $\frac{1680}{3024}$ . Both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) are divisible by 336. You are left with $\frac{5}{9}$ .

Now, let's take the next four.

$\frac{9}{10}\frac{10}{11} \frac{11}{12} \frac{12}{13}$ . Multiplying these gives you $\frac{11880}{17160}$ . Both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) are divisible by 1320. You are left with $\frac{9}{13}$ .

Now, let's take the next four.

$\frac{13}{14}\frac{14}{15} \frac{15}{16} \frac{16}{17}$ . Multiplying these gives you $\frac{43680}{57120}$ . Both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) are divisible by 3360. You are left with $\frac{13}{17}$ .

*<em> Although I would continue to say let's take the next four, there appears to be a pattern in the simplification. The numerators we have gotten have all been four less than their denominators, and each numerator has been four more than the last. I cannot be certain, but we only have two sets of four left. If this pattern continues, the simplifications of each should be $\frac{17}{21}$ and $\frac{21}{25}$ . I will continue on for argument's sake, anyways.</em>

The next four are $\frac{17}{18}\frac{18}{19} \frac{19}{20} \frac{20}{21}$ . Multiplying these, you are left with $\frac{116280}{143640}$ . Both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) are divisible by 6840. We are left with $\frac{17}{21}$ . This is the exact guess I had made when following the pattern, and so the next one is most likely going to be the other guess as well.

Our final answer will be $\frac{1}{5}\frac{5}{9} \frac{9}{13} \frac{13}{17}\frac{17}{21} \frac{21}{25}$ all multiplied together. We end up with $\frac{208845}{5221125}$ . Both the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) are divisible by 208845.

Simplified, your final answer is: $\frac{1}{25}$ .

* <u>NOTE:</u> that another way to solve this would just be to multiply all numbers from 1-24 together and then 2-25, but you would end up with a very large number that would be just as time consuming to simplify. To get the GCF fast, I used a GCF calculator.

PLEASE HELP!!! BRAINLIEST TO CORRECT COMPLETE ANSWER!

notka56 [123]

Answer:

y=16x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(1,17) and (2,33).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (1,17), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=1 and y1=17.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (2,33), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=2 and y2=33.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

33 - 17/ 2 - 1

or...

m= 16/ 1

or...

m=16

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=16x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(1,17). When x of the line is 1, y of the line must be 17.

(2,33). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be 33.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=16x+b. b is what we want, the 16 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (1,17) and (2,33).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(1,17). y=mx+b or 17=16 × 1+b, or solving for b: b=17-(16)(1). b=1.

(2,33). y=mx+b or 33=16 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=33-(16)(2). b=1.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(1,17) and (2,33) is y=16x+1

What is the first step in proving that the sum of the measures of triangle XYZ is 180 degrees?

mylen [45]

In geometry, the definition of a triangle is a two-dimensional closed figure with three sides. Aside from this, it is proven that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. This is a triangle's innate property. Therefore, any closed shape with three sides is a triangle and it follows that the sum of the three angles is equal to 180°.

It is logical therefore, that the first step in proving this is by using the definition of a triangle.
