Answer:

  • x = 2 2/3
  • y = 3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There may be other ways to do this. Here's the approach I took. Let the integer part of x be represented by "a", and the integer part of y be represented by "b". Now, we have ...

  (a +2/3)(b +3/4) = 10

Multiplying by 12, this becomes ...

  (3a +2)(4b +3) = 120

There are only 16 divisors of 120, so they can be easily enough checked one at a time.

  120 = 1·120 = 2·60 = 3·40 = 4·30 = 5·24 = 6·20 = 8·15 = 10·12

Of these divisors, the ones that are of the form 3a+2 are ...

  2, 5, 8, 20 . . . . a=0, 1, 2, 6

The ones that are of the form 4b+3 are ...

  3, 15 . . . . b = 0, 3

The factor pair that consists of a number on the first list and a number on the second list is ...

  120 = 8·15

corresponding to a=2 and b=3. So, the mixed numbers you want are ...

  x = 2 2/3

  y = 3 3/4

_____

<em>Check</em>

  (2 2/3)·(3 3/4) =2·3 +2·3/4 +2/3·3 +2/3·3/4 = 6 +6/4 +2 +2/4 = 8+8/4 = 10

Solving
  S = 3F - 24
for F gives
  S + 24 = 3F
  (S + 24)/3 = F

The best choice is the last one:
  F = (S + 24)/3

On Monday, Elsbeth’s bank account balance was -$16.75. On Tuesday, she deposited a check for $5.72. On Thursday, she deposited $
erastova [34]

Answer:

$5.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is take the two deposits and add them together then combine with the original balance.

Add 5.72 and 16.75

5.72+16.75=22.47

Then subtract -16.75 from 22.47

22.47-16.75=5.72

Answer:

  (d)  16

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles opposite sides of the same measure are congruent. Here, the triangle is isosceles, so the base angles are congruent:

  2x = 32

  x = 16 . . . . . . divide by 2°

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THESE PROBLEM, PLZ HELP!
Virty [35]

Answer:

Q.1.

Sum of angles of a triangle = 180°

∠A + ∠B + ∠c = 180

(3x - 9) + (4x + 15) + 90 = 180

3x - 9 + 4x + 15 + 90 = 180

7x + 96 = 180

7x = 84

x = 12

∠A = 3x - 9 = 3(12) - 9 = 36 - 9 = 27°

∠B = 4x + 15 = 4(12) + 15 = 48 + 15 = 63°

∠A = 27°

∠B = 63°

Q.2.

using \ pythagoras \ theorem \\x^2 = 7^2 + (7\sqrt{3} )^{2} = 49  + 49(3) = 196\\x = \sqrt{196}  = 14

sin y = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{7\sqrt{3} }{14}   = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\y = sin^{-1} (\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ) = 60

x = 14

y = 60°
