Answer:
set mary is x years old, and helen is y years old.
first sentence:x=2y
second one:4(y-8)=x+4
bring x=2y in 4(y-8)=x+4
=>4y-32=2y+4
=>2y=36
=>y=18
=>x=36
mary:36
helen:18
Answer:
m<1 = 26°
m<2 = 154°
m<3 = 26°
m<4 = 26°
m<5 = 154°
m<6 = 154°
m<7 = 26°
Step-by-step explanation:
What is required was not stated, however, let's find the value of every angle labelled in this diagram.
✔️m<1 = 180° - 154° (linear pair theorem)
m<1 = 26°
✔️m<2 = 154° (vertical angles theorem)
m<2 = 154°
✔️m<3 = m<1 (vertical angles theorem)
m<3 = 26° (substitution)
✔️m<4 = m<3 (alternate interior angles theorem)
m<4 = 26° (substitution)
✔️m<5 = m<2 (alternate interior angles theorem)
m<5 = 154° (substitution)
✔️m<6 = m<5 (vertical angles theorem)
m<6 = 154° (substitution)
✔️m<7 = m<4 (vertical angles theorem)
m<7 = 26° (substitution)
2(7/2)^x = 49/2
Divide both sides by 2:
(7/2)^x = 49/4
I notice that 49/4 can be rewritten as (7/2)^2, so we now have:
(7/2)^x = (7/2)^2
The only way for this to be true is if x = 2. Thus, we are done.
Conversion.
1 yard = 3 feet
So the fabric has 2 yards. Then the size of the patch is 1/4 foot.
So the number of patches that Marcus used is..
= 3 * 2
= 6 / (1/4)
= 24 patches.
So a total of 24 patches Marcus used.
