Answer:

262 books sold

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very vague word problem, but if it truly is just asking the amount of books sold (regardless of music or science), here's how to get the answer:

1. 287+134=421 - first you want to add together the two types of books to get the total amount of books in the store

2. 421-x=159 - create an equation and solve.

3. -x=-262 - follow order of operations and subtract 421 on both sides in order to isolate the variable

4. x=262 - divide each side by -1 to make the variable positive.

If you'd like an easier way, you can just:

1. 421-159=262 - it's easier, but my math teacher would count us wrong if we didn't do equations a specific way. Good luck!

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

about 12 people

Step-by-step explanation:

cir.=2πr=62.8 , so r=31.4/π , vol of tower= base area × hight = πr² × 11.5 ≈ 3609.17 cm³ , number of people= vol/300 ≈ 12

In △ABC, m∠ABC=40°, BL (L∈AC ) is the angle bisector of ∠
ira [324]

check the picture below.


M is perpendicular to AB and ∈ AB, and stemming from point L.


N is perpendicular to BC and ∈ BC, and stemming from point L as well.


BL is the bisector, that means the angle at verte B, gets cut into two equal halves.


now, we know what ∠CLN =3∠ALM, namely that ∠CLN is 3 times greater than ∠ALM.


so, once the bisector kicks in, you get two angles of 20° each, the angles at M are 90° each and the angles at N are 90° each as well, that pretty much narrows down what the missing angle is in triangles MBL and NBL, so is 70°.


now, the little sliver angles at CLN and ALM are on a 3:1 ratio, so, the flat-line of AC affords us 180°, subtract the 140°, so CLN and ALM will have to share only the remaining 40°, and they have to do so on a 3:1 ratio, that leaves us with, notice the blue angles.


now, from the triangles ALM and CLN, you can pretty much tell what the missing angle is, and those are the values for angles A and C.
