Kamil and Sean share some money in the ratio 3:5. Sean gets $56 more than Kamil. How much do they get each?

1 answer:

3 0

Let Kamil get x. Therefore Sean would get (x + 56).

Kamil and Sean are in the ratio: 3:5

That means: x : (x + 56) = 3 : 5

x / (x + 56) = 3/5

5*x = 3*(x + 56)

5x = 3*x + 3*56

5x = 3x + 168

5x - 3x = 168

2x = 168

x = 168 / 2

x = 84

Therefore Kamil had, x = 84, and Sean had (x + 56) = 84 + 56 = 140

Kamil had $84 and Sean had $140

Can someone please help me with 44. And 45?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Problem 44

The term "bisect" means "cut in half".

Since BD bisects angle ABC, this means the smaller angles ABD and DBC are congruent.

angle ABD = angle DBC

x+15 = 4x-45

15+45 = 4x-x

60 = 3x

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

<h3>Answer: x = 20</h3>

========================================================

Problem 45

We use the same idea as the previous problem

angle ABD = angle DBC

2x+35 = 5x-22

35+22 = 5x-2x

57 = 3x

3x = 57

x = 57/3

x = 19

<h3>Answer: x = 19</h3>

find the value of each variable in the circle to the right. the dot represents the center of the circle.

gladu [14]

We have been given an image of a circle. We are asked to find the value of each variable.

We can see that angle b corresponds to diameter of circle. We know that the measure of an angle that is inscribed to the diameter of a circle is 90 degrees . Therefore, the value of b will be 90.

we can see that angle is an inscribed angle of arc 99 degrees. We know that measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of inscribed arc.

$a=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 99$

$a=49.5$

Therefore, the value of a is 49.5 units.

We know that measure of all angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. The measure of 3rd angle will be half the measure of c, so we can set an equation as:

$a+b+\frac{1}{2}c=180$
