P+(2p-250)=2858  where p equals East High School's population
simplify (combine like terms)
3p-250=2858
add 250 to each side of the equation
3p=3108
divide each side by 3
p=1036
1036 students attend East High School.

I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST!! PLEASE HELP!!
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

m∠EBC=65° 15' and AC=20in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AB≅BC

AE=10in\\m\angle FEC=90\\m\angle ABC=130\°30'

From the given Data, we can conclude the following:

1. Since two sides of the triangle ABC are congruent, therefore its an isosceles triangle.

2. m\angle FEC=90°. This shows that the line BE is perpendicular to AC. By property of isosceles triangle, the line which passes from the vertex of the largest angle of triangle and cuts the opposite side(base) perpendicularly is the perpendicular bisector of the side and angle bisector of the angle.

∴  m\angle EBA\ ≅m\angle EBC    [ Definition of Angle bisector]

m\angle ABC=130\°30'

m\angle EBC=\frac{m\angle ABC}{2}=\frac{130\°30'}{2}=65\°15'

m\angle EBC=65\°15'

∴AE=EC       [ Definition of perpendicular bisector]

AE=EC=10in

AC=AE+EC

AC=10+10=20in

AC=20in

What is the equation in the point slope form for a line that goes through 7,5 and has a slope of -4,-1
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -4x + 33

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we use point-slope form with the point given and the slope given. Then we solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -4(x - 7)

y - 5 = -4x + 28

y = -4x + 33

Carla rode her bike to the park she travels at 5 miles per hour for 15 minutes how far did Carla ride her bike
Margaret [11]
In this question there is a simple trick that needs to be handled first. Baring that simple trick the problem is very easy. The first thing that needs to be done after noting down all the details from the given question is to covert 1 hour to 60 minutes.
Time taken by Carla to travel 5 miles = 1 hour
                                                           = ( 1 * 60 ) minutes
                                                           = 60 minutes
Then
In 60 minutes the distance covered by Carla = 5 miles.
NOw
In 15 minutes the distance traveled by Carla = (5/60) * 15 miles
                                                                       = 5/4 miles
                                                                       = 1.25 miles
So Carla will travel a distance of 1.25 miles in 15 minutes.
