Answer:

\boxed{x = 7, y = 9, z = 68}

Step-by-step explanation:

We must develop three equations in three unknowns.

I will use these three:

\begin{array}{lrcll}(1) & 8x + 13y +7 & = & 180 & \\(2)& 9x - 7 + 13y +7 & = & 180 & \\(3)& 8x + 5y - 11 + z & = & 180 &\text{We can rearrange these to get:}\\(4)& 8x + 13y & = & 173 &\\(5) & 9x + 13y & = & 180 & \\(6)& 8x + 5y + z & = & 169 & \\(7)& x & = & \mathbf{7} & \text{Subtracted (4) from (5)} \\\end{array}

\begin{array}{lrcll}& 8(7) + 13y & = & 173 & \text{Substituted (7) into (4)} \\& 56 + 13y & = & 173 & \text{Simplified} \\& 13y & = & 117 & \text{Subtracted 56 from each side} \\(8)& y & =& \mathbf{9}&\text{Divided each side by 13}\\& 8(7) + 5(9) + z & = & 169 & \text{Substituted (8) and (7) into (6)} \\& 56 + 45 + z& = & 169 & \text{Simplified} \\& 101 + z& = & 169 & \text{Simplified} \\&z& = & \mathbf{68} & \text{Subtracted 101 from each side}\\\end{array}

\boxed{\mathbf{ x = 7, y = 9, z = 68}}

Becca and Kimberly are running at a constant speed in a marathon. Becca runs at 4.5 miles per hour. Kimberly’s progress is shown
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Part A: Kimberly

Part B:

Becca = 22.5 miles, Kimberly = 25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given that Becca runs at a constant speed of 4.5 miles per hour, use the table to find the constant speed that Kimberly runs, and compare who runs faster.

Let x = time

y = distance

k = speed = y/x

Equation for each person can be written as: y = kx

Therefore:

✔️Equation for Becca if k = 4.5

y = 4.5x

✔️Find k (speed) of Kimberly using (2, 10):

Speed (k) = y/x

k = 10/2

k = 5 miles per hour

Equation for Kimberly would be:

y = 5x

Comparing their speed, Kimberly runs faster because she covers more miles per hour than Becca does.

Part B:

For Becca, substitute x = 5 into Becca's equation, y = 4.5x

Thus:

y = 4.5*5 = 22.5 miles

For Kimberly, substitute x = 5 into Kimberly's equation, y = 5x

Thus:

y = 5*5 = 25 miles

What percent is 27.30 of 36.40 ?
Luden [163]
If you would like to know what percent is 27.30 of 36.40, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of 36.40 = 27.30
x/100 * 36.40 = 27.30
x/100 = 27.30/36.40
x = 27.30/36.40 * 100
x = 75

To check: 75% * 36.40 = 75/100 * 36.40 = 27.30

The correct result is 75%.

Can someone please help me with question 42?
Pavlova-9 [17]
These angles should add to 180 degrees because the angles are on a straight line so you should use the formula x=180-90-38. Therefore, x should be 52 degrees
