Find the value of y and x in the figure

Mathematics

Fed [463]3 years ago
7 0

First, find the interior angle missing:

180-135=45

Then, we know all the interior angles in a triangle add up to 180º. So, we add all the values for the interior angles and we equate them to 180. We solve the equation normally.

45+(4z+9)+(5y+5)=180\\45+4z+9+5y+5=180\\59+4z+5y=180\\4z+5y=180-59\\4z+5y=121

After that, we must add the two angles on a straight line on the right-hand side and equate them to 180.

(4z+9)+(9y-2)=180\\4z+9+9y-2=180\\7+4z+9y=180\\4z+9y=180-7\\4z+9y=173

We compare the equations:

4z+5y=121\\4z+9y=173

We simultaneously solve by isolating one of the variables (y) in one of the equations (4z+5y=121) and substituting into the other (4z+9y=173):

4z+5y=121\\4z+9y=173\\\\4z+5y=121 => 4z=121-5y\\\\4z+9y=173\\(121-5y)+9y=173\\121-5y+9y=173\\121+4y=173\\4y = 173-121\\4y=52\\y=52/4\\y=13

We substitute it back into the first formula, the one in which we isolated the variable (4z+5y=121):

y=13\\\\4z+5y=121\\4z+5(13)=121\\4z+65=121\\4z=121-65\\4z=56\\z=56/4\\z=14

We now check our answer using the formula we know about the internal angles of a triangle (a+b+c=180):

a+b+c=180\\a=45,b=(5y+5),c=(4z+9),y=13,z=14\\45+(5y+5)+(4z+9)=180\\45+5(13)+5+4(14)+9=180\\45+65+5+56+9=180\\180=180

Now, if 180=180, then we are correct!

So, in conclusion, y=13 and z = 14.

HELP PLZ WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! find the arrithmetic means in the given sequence<br> -3,?,?,?,93
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an arithmetic sequence is

aₙ = a₁ + d(n - 1)

where aₙ is the number of the term in the sequence (in order from first term where n = 1, to second term where n = 2, to third term where n = 3, etc) a₁ is the the first term in the sequence, and d is the arithmetic difference or means.  This is what we are looking to solve for.  

In our sequence we have the first term, -3 (where n = 1) and the fifth term, 93 (where n = 5).  If we fill in what we have, the only unknown is d, our arithmetic difference (means) between each number in the sequence.

Because we have the fifth term, we can write our standard form to fit our needs:

a₅ = a₁ + d(n-1).  Therefore,

93 = -3 + d(5 - 1) and

93 = -3 + d(4) so

96 = 4d and

d = 24

Our arithmetic difference (means) is 24.  Let's test it on a few values of n.  Let's look for the second, third, and 4th terms, and then try it out for n = 5 to make sure the 5th term, using our arithmetic sequence with d = 24 works and we do, in fact, find the fifth term to be 93.

Testing n = 2

a₂ = -3 + 24(2 - 1) so

a₂ = -3 + 24(1)  and

a₂ = 21.  Second term is 21 (Notice that difference between -3 and 21 is 24)

Testing n = 3

a₃ = -3 + 24(3 - 1) so

a₃ = -3 + 24(2) and

a₃ = 48 - 3 and

a₃ = 45 (Notice the difference between 21 and 45 is 24)

Testing n = 4

a₄ = -3 + 24(4 - 1) so

a₄ = -3 + 24(3) and

a₄ = 72 - 3 and

a₄ = 69 (Notice the difference between 45 and 69 is 24)

Testing n = 5 (and it better come out as 93 or we did something wrong!)

a₅ = -3 + 24(5 - 1) and

a₅ = -3 + 24(4) so

a₅ = 96 - 3 so

a₅ = 93 (Phew!)  ; )

Audrey has .x pounds of red grapes and y pounds of
mojhsa [17]

We are looking at points in the form (x, y).

Let x = pounds of red grapes

Let y = pounds of green grapes

Audrey has less than 5 pounds of grapes. Here is where I think you made a typo. The question should indicate if Audrey has 5 pounds less of red grapes or green grapes.

Go back and check your original problem and then come back.
