Answer:

x=72 and the exterior angle is 154

Step-by-step explanation:

We will call the unknown angle in the triangle y. Angle y and the angle (2x +10) form a straight line so they make 180 degrees.

y + 2x+10 =180

Solve for y by subtracting 2x+10 from each side.

y + 2x+10 - (2x+10) =180 - (2x+10)

y = 180-2x-10

y = 170-2x

The three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

x+ y+ 82 = 180

x+ (170-2x)+82 = 180

Combine like terms

-x +252=180

Subtract 252 from each side

-x+252-252 = 180-252

-x = -72

Multiply each side by -1

-1*-x = -72*-1

x=72

The exterior angle is 2x+10. Substitute x=72 into the equation.

2(72)+10

144+10

154

The bed of a truck is stacked with with boxes of paper. The boxes are stacked 5 boxes deep by 4 boxes high by 4 boxes across

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The boxes are stacked 5 boxes deep by 4 boxes high by 4 boxes across, then there are $5\cdot 4\cdot 4=80$ boxes in total.

The mass of 1 box of paper is 22.5 kilograms, so 80 boxes weigh $22.5\cdot 80=1800$ kilograms.

When the driver is in the truck, the mass is 2948.35 kilograms, then the total mass is

$2948.35+1800=4748.35\ kg.$

Let n be the number of boxes of paper the driver must deliver at the first stop. Their weigth is 22.5n kg and the weight of the truck without n boxes is

$4748.35-22.5n\ kg.$

Trucks with a mass greater than 4700 kilograms are not allowed over the bridge, thus

$4748.35-22.5n48.35,\\ \\n>\dfrac{967}{450}=2\dfrac{67}{450}.$

Hence, the driver must deliver at least 3 boxes at the first shop.

Please help!<br> For y = 4x 2x^2 - x^3, show how to find the value for y, when x = 2 show your work

melomori [17]

Since x=2, you plug it into your equation by replacing all the x with 2. You would then solve it by following the PEMDAS rule. y= 4(2) + 2(2)^2 - (2)^3 y= 4(2) +2(4) - 8 y= 8 + 8 - 8 y= 16 - 8 y= 8

Answer: 15:42or simplified 5:14

Step-by-step explanation:

15 angelfish to 42 guppies

15/3= 5

42/3=14

so the ratio of 15:42 is equal to 5:14
