15 people = 9 lbs pasta

1 people = 9/15 lbs. pasta

So, for 76 people = 9/15 * 76 = 45.6 lbs pasta

9/15 = x/76......9 lbs to 15 ppl = x lbs to 76 ppl
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(15)(x) = (9)(76)
15x = 684
x = 684/15
x = 45.6.....u should bring 45.6 lbs of pasta salad for 76 people

Point K is on line segment JL. Given JK = 5x + 7, JL = 2x+8, and KL = 4,
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The numerical length of JL is 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to determine the numerical length of JL

Mathematically;

JL = JK + KL

2x + 8 = 5x + 7 + 4

2x + 8 = 5x + 11

5x -2x = 8-11

3x = -3

x = -1

But JL = 2x + 8

JL = 2(-1) + 8 = -2 + 8 = 6

Solve for n<br><br> -19=-8+n
laila [671]

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

Answer:  \textsf{n = -11}

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

Given:  \textsf{-19 = -8 + n}

Find:  \textsf{Solve for n}

Solution: In order to solve for n we need to add 8 to both sides which would cancel -8 on the right side and isolate n giving us the value of n.

<u>Add 8 to both sides</u>

  • \textsf{-19 + 8 = -8 + 8 + n}
  • \textsf{-19 + 8 = n}
  • \textsf{-11 = n}

Therefore, the final answer would be that n is equal to -11.

What is the measure of angle X? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. Round only your answer to the nearest hundredth. ° tr
klemol [59]

I have attached a diagram of the triangle described.

We can use any of the trigonometric functions to find angle x. Remember, SOH CAH TOA. And since we're finding the angle, we'll need to use an inverse trigonometric function. For this problem, I'll be using the sine function.

sin(x) = 84 / 85

x = sin^-1(84/85)

x = 81.2026 degrees (feel free to round to however many places you need)

Hope this helps!! :)
