You said x/20 = 12/16
Multiply each side by 20 : x = 20 x 12/16
= 240 / 16 = 15 .
An algebraic expression is a phrase in mathematics that consists of numbers such as 1,2,3 and the like, variables which are represented with letters and operations like addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. It is usually used to represent a certain situation which would relate the variables involved. To write the algebraic expression for the problem statement above, we do as follows:
Let x = number of consoles to be bought
y = number of games to be bought
z = number of controllers to bebought
C = total cost of all
The total cost would be equal to the sum of the price multiplied by the number of consoles, games and controllers bought. We write the algebraic expression as follows,
C = 299x + 59.99y + 29.99z
Answer:
The measure of the angles are 61° and 119°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first angle = x°
let the second angle = y°
The sum of two supplementary angles = 180°
x° + y° = 180° ----- equation (1)
based on the given question; "the difference of two supplementary angles is 58 degrees."
x° - y° = 58° ------- equation (2)
from equation (2), x° = 58° + y°
Substitute the value of x into equation (1)
(58° + y°) + y° = 180°
58 + 2y = 180
2y = 180 -58
2y = 122
y = 122 / 2
y = 61°
The second angle is given by;
x° = 58° + y°
x = 58° + 61°
x = 119°
Thus, the measure of the angles are 61° and 119°
Painter 1 : Painter 2 : Total
2 : 3 : 2+3
2 : 3 : 5
5 parts = $2000
1 part = $2000 ÷ 5
1 part = $400
2 parts = $400 x 2
2 parts = $800
3 parts = $400 x 3
3parts = $1200
Painter 1: Painter2
$800 : $1200
