Answer:

The salt is in the water be 3 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}

As given

Twenty pounds of a salt-water solution contains fifteen percent salt.

Let us assume that the salt is in the water be x.

Percentage = 15%

Total value = 20 pounds

Put in the formula

15= \frac{x\times 100}{20}

x = \frac{15\times 20}{100}

x = \frac{300}{100}

x = 3 pounds

or

x = 3 lb

Therefore the salt is in the water be 3 lb.

Rob coloured 1/4 of a rectangle .what is another way to name 1/4?
mixas84 [53]

another way to name 1/4 is a quarter because 1/4 of 100 is 25 %, so that's why it is called a quarter.

hopefully this helps you :)

Two column proof:
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given : BRDG is a kite that is inscribed in a circle,

With BR = RD and BG = DG

To prove : RG is a diameter

Proof:

Since, RG is the major diagonal of the kite BRDG,

By the property of kite,

∠ RBG = ∠ RDG

Also, BRDG is a cyclic quadrilateral,

Therefore, By the property of cyclic quadrilateral,

∠ RBG + ∠ RDG = 180°

⇒ ∠ RBG + ∠ RBG = 180°

⇒ 2∠ RBG = 180°

⇒ ∠ RBG = 90°

⇒ ∠ RDG = 90°

Since, Angle subtended by a diameter or semicircle on any point of circle is right angle.

⇒ RG is the diameter of the circle.

Hence, proved.

PLEASE HELP ASAP 25 PTS + BRAINLIEST TO RIGHT/BEST ANSWER

Answer:

(-6,9,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x -y +z=6

-3x-y+3z =0

x-3z =3

Multiply the second equation by -1

-1 *(-3x-y+3z) =0*-1

3x +y -3z =0

Add this to the first equation

-3x -y +z=6

3x +y -3z =0

----------------------

0 + 0 + -2z = 6

Divide by -2

-2z/-2 = 6/-2

z = 6/-2

z=-3


Take the third equation to find x

x-3z=3

x-3(-3) = 3

x+9=3

Subtract 9 from each side

x+9-9 =3-9

x=-6

Now we need to find y

3x +y -3z =0

3(-6) +y -3(-3) =0

-18 +y +9=0

-9+y =0

Add 9 to each side

-9+9+y = 0+9

y=9

(-6,9,-3)
