Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.

For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.

2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25

Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.

Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4

5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds

Quadrilateral ABCD ​ is inscribed in this circle.
Alecsey [184]
The sum of all interior angles in a polygon is

180(n-2), where n = sides, well, this is a QUADrilateral, so it has 4 sides, so the total is 360°.

now, let's find what angle C is first,

\bf \stackrel{A}{(2x-40)}+\stackrel{B}{(116)}+C+\stackrel{D}{(x)}=360\implies C+3x+76=360
\\\\\\
C+3x=284\implies C=284-3x

now, recall the "inscribed quadrilateral conjecture", where opposite angles are "supplementary angles", thus

\bf \stackrel{\measuredangle A}{(2x-40)}+\stackrel{\measuredangle C}{(284-3x)}=180\implies -x+244=180
\\\\\\
64=x\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\measuredangle A=2(64)-40

X + 2y = 5<br> x - 3y = 7 <br> What is the value of the y-determinant? <br> -2<br> -1 <br> 2
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

y-determinant = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following system of equation:

  • x + 2y = 5
  • x - 3y = 7

Let's represent it using a matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\1&-3\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\7\end{array}\right]

The y‐numerator determinant is formed by taking the constant terms from the system and placing them in the y‐coefficient positions and retaining the x‐coefficients. Then:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&5\\1&7\end{array}\right]

y-determinant = (1)(7) - (5)(1) = 2.

Therefore, the y-determinant = 2
