4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.

Start with

x=7\cdot9+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv63\equiv64-1\equiv-1\equiv3\pmod4

We have 3^2\equiv9\equiv1\pmod4, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv72\equiv2\pmod7

which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv140\equiv5\pmod9

so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with x=401.

By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any x such that

x\equiv401\pmod{4\cdot7\cdot9}\implies x\equiv149\pmod{252}

is a solution to this system, i.e. x=149+252n for any integer n, the smallest and positive of which is 149.

What is the circumference of the circle that circumscribes a triangle with side lengths 3, 4, and 5?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

  5π, about 15.708 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A 3-4-5 triangle is a right triangle. When a circle circumscribes a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle. The circumference of a circle is given by ...

  C = πd

For a diameter of 5 units, the circumference is ...

  C = π(5) = 5π = 15.708 . . . units

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The (3, 4, 5) triple is one of the first Pythagorean triples you run across. It is the smallest integer triple, and the only primitive triple with values in an arithmetic sequence. You can show this is a Pythagorean triple by ...

 3² + 4² = 9 +16 = 25 = 5²

That is, these numbers satisfy the Pythagorean theorem relation for sides of a right triangle.

15% of the seats on an airplane are first class if there are 24 class seats how many seats are on the plane ​
Andrej [43]

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 24 first class seats. 15% of the total number is 24. that would mean 5% of the total number is 8. 20 times 8 is 160.

3y = x - 12<br> Y= 1/3X -4<br> parallel, perpendicular or neither
aliina [53]

Answer:

PARALLEL

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation, y = (1/3)x - 4, has already been solved for y.  To compare the slopes easily, we need now to solve the first equation for y, obtaining y = (1/3)x - 4.

We see that these two lines have the same slope, m = 1/3, and thus conclude that these lines are PARALLEL.

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. Which function represents a line that is perpendicular to y = -6x + 7
Svetllana [295]
Y= 1/6 x + 7. To find a line that is perpendicular just take the slope and find the negative reciprocal. ex. A/B becomes -B/A. Hope this helped
