svp [43]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the number of cards Kenny has

Let Y is the number of cards Lee has

1. Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee, it means

X = Y + 5/7X (1)

2. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee, it means:

X + 50%X = Y +  220 (2)

So, we solve the 2 equations to find out X and Y

\left \{ {{X=Y + 5/7X} \atop {1.5X=Y +220}} \right.

<=> X = \frac{3080}{17} and Y = \frac{880}{17}

<=> X ≈181 and Y ≈ 52

The measure of angle A is 4 degrees greater than the measure of angle B. The two angles are complementary. Find the measure for
svetlana [45]
Given: 
Angle A is 4 degrees greater than the measure of Angle B. Both angles are complementary

Complementary angles have a sum of 90°

Angle A = x + 4° ; Angle B = x

x + 4° + x = 90°
2x = 90° - 4°
2x = 86°
x = 86° ÷ 2
x = 43° ANGLE B.

Angle A = x + 4° ⇒ 43° + 4 = 47°

Given:
Angle D is 5 times the measure of Angle E. These angles are supplementary. This means that their sum is 180°

Angle D = 5x ; Angle E = x

5x + x = 180°
6x = 180°
x = 180° ÷ 6
x = 30°  Angle E.

Angle D = 5x = 5(30) = 150°

Which statement is true about vertical angles. 1 point Vertical angles are congruent if two lines are parallel. If vertical angl
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are formed when two straight lines intersect each other, thereby forming two pairs of opposite angles, which are called vertical angles. Thus, a pair of these vertical angles formed are congruent to each other. So therefore, if two angles are said to be vertical angles, it follows that they are congruent to each other.

Using the diagram attached below, we can see two straight lines intersecting each other to form two pairs of vertical angles:

<a and <b,

<c and <d.

Thus, <a is congruent to <b, and <c is congruent to <d.

Therefore, the standby that is true about vertical angles is that:

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Chen kept track of how many baskets were made in a basketball game. After 6 minutes, 5 baskets were made. How long did it take u
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Assuming the same pace was kept, it would take 9.6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find this by setting up a proportion and then cross multiplying.

5 baskets/6 mins = 8 baskets/x mins

5 * x = 6 * 8

5x = 48

x = 9.6
