Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's solve for x, using the supplementary angles theorem, this way:

∠ C = 180 - 7x + 2 because they are supplementary angles. And these angles add up to 180 degrees.

∠ D = 180 - 9x + 31 because they are supplementary angles. And these angles add up to 180 degrees.

∠ E = 180 - 4x - 33 because they are supplementary angles. And these angles add up to 180 degrees.

Now, let's recall that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Thus:

∠ C + ∠ D + ∠ E = 180 °

Replacing with the real values for solving for x:

180 - 9x + 31 + 180 - 4x - 33 + 180 - 7x + 2 = 180

- 20 x + 540 = 180

- 20 x = 180 - 540 (Subtracting 540 to both sides)

- 20 x = - 360

x = 18 (Dividing by - 20)

Proving that x = 18 is correct

180 - 9x + 31 + 180 - 4x - 33 + 180 - 7x + 2 = 180

180 - 9 (18) + 31 + 180 - 4 (18) - 33 + 180 - 7 (18) + 2 = 180

180 - 162 + 31 + 180 - 72 - 33 + 180 - 126 + 2 = 180

573 - 393 = 180

180 = 180

We proved that x = 18 is correct

Joy wants to buy strawberries and raspberries to bring to a party. Strawberries cost $1.60 per pound and raspberries cost $1.75

zimovet [89]

Answer: 1.60x + 1.75y is less than or equal to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the strawberries cost $1.60 per pound, it would be x pounds times $1.60 for the total cost of strawberries. Since the raspberries cost $1.75 per pound, it would be y pounds times $1.75 for the total cost of the raspberries. The total cost of both, or 1.60x + 1.75y, must be equal to or less than 10 because she cannot spend over 10 dollars.

Y = -5x + 15 2x + y = 12

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x + 15 --- Equation 1

2x + y = 12 --- Equation 2

Substitute y = -5x + 15 into Equation 2:

2x + y = 12

2x - 5x + 15 = 12

Evaluate like terms.

15 - 3x = 12

Isolate -3x.

-3x = 12 - 15

Evaluate like terms.

-3x = -3

Find x.

x = -3 ÷ -3

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into Equation 2:

2x + y = 12

2(1) + y = 12

2 + y = 12

Isolate y.

y = 12 - 2

y = 10

P=4s

s=p/4

a=s^2, using s found above

a=p^2/16, we were told that p=40 so

a=40^2/16

Mario invests 1,500 in a savings account that earns 2% interest a year. He also plans to set aside $50 cash a month. A:2100(1.02

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

1500(1.02)^x + 600x is how much he has in savings at the end of x years where it be in the bank or elsewhere

Step-by-step explanation:

x is in years

Let's just think about the investment of 1500 in an account earning 2% per year.

Before the years even start, you are at 1500 ( present value).

The next year (year 1), it would be 1500*.02+1500=(1500)(1.02).

The next year (year 2), it would be 1500(1.02)(.02)+1500(1.02)=1500(1.02)(1.02).

We keep multiplying factors of (1.02) each time.

So for year x, you would have saved 1500(1.02)^x.

Now we are saving 50 cash per month. Per year this would be 12(50) since there are 12 months in a year. 12(50)=600.

So the first year you would have 600.

The second year you would have 600(2) or 1200.

The third year you would have 600(3) or 1800.

Let's put this together:

1500(1.02)^x + 600x
