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

Determine the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line parallel to y = x + 11 that passes through the point (–6, 2).
MArishka [77]
Line parallel to y=x+11 so slopes are equal then
y= x+b
Passing through the point C (-6;2) then C belongs to this line
yc=xc+b
b= 6+2
b= 8
So y intercept is equal to 8

WZ and XR are diameters of circle C. The diagram is not drawn to scale. What is the measure of ZWX?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Measure of arc ZWX is <u>230°.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

arc WX = 50°

Now

The diameter divide a circle into two equal parts

so

arc\ ZWX=arc\ ZRW+arc\ WX

Since WZ is diameter of the circle.

arc\ ZRW=180\°

substituting in above equation we get

arc\ ZWX=180\°+50\°=230\°

Hence Measure of arc ZWX is <u>230°.</u>
