Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maggies age is, for example, x, we can say that her brothers age is 4x-6. We know from the problem that Maggies age (x) plus her bothers age, (4x-6) is 69. So,

4x-6+x=69

5x-6=69

5x=75

x=15

So, Maggie is 15.

Answer: Maggie is 15 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

69 = (4m - 6) + m --- get an equation

69 - m = 4m - 6 --- lets subtract m from both sides first

75 - m = 4m --- add 6 on both sides

75 = 5m --- add m on both sides

15 = m --- divide by 5 on both sides

m = 15, so Maggie is 15 years old

Let's check:

69 = (4(15)-6) +15

69 = (60 - 6) + 15

69 = 54 + 15

69 = 69

An average person in the United States throws away 4.5 × 10² grams of trash per day. In 2013, there were about 3.2×106 people in

enyata [817]

Answer:

Since there are 4.5*10^2 grams of trash per day per person, we multiply that by 3.2*10^6 for everyone in the US and then multiply that by 365 to get how much in a year, which is 525600000000 or 5.256*10^11 (I think it's 11)

How do you find the exterior angle of a polygon?

trasher [3.6K]

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n – 2)180.

The measure of each interior angle of an equiangular n-gon is.

If you count one exterior angle at each vertex, the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360°.

Which statement about the figure MUST be true? Select all that apply.

<h2>○=> <u>Correct options</u> :</h2><h2>□ $\color{plum}\tt\bold{(C) \: SR = 27}$ </h2><h2>□ $\color{plum}\tt\bold{(D) \: QR = 54 }$ </h2><h3><u>Steps to derive the correct options</u> :</h3>

Since two sides and one included angle is equal in △PQS and △PRS, we can conclude that they are congruent under the SAS congruence criterion.

Which means :

▪︎Angle S = Angle S

▪︎PS = PS

▪︎QS = RS

Given :

Measure of segment QS = 6n+3

Measure of segment RS = 4n+11

Thus :

$= \tt6n + 3 = 4n + 11$
