2x can represent the starting cost for a cookie.

5 can represent what goes to the boy scouts.

13 means the total amount of money you are paying.

Question:

Boy scouts sell cookies for x dollars. It costs $2 to start because that is labor of making the cookie. In addition to that, you need to pay $5 so it can go to supporting them. In total, you pay $13. How much money did you pay for cookies?

Solution:

2x + 5 = 12

~Subtract 5 to both sides

2x = 7

~Divide 2 to both sides

x = 3.5

Therefore, the cookie cost $3.50 each.

Best of Luck!

Chris and Dave and Ed share £720 between them. Chris receives £90 more than Dave. The ratio of Chris's share to Dave's share is

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Ratio of Ed's share : Dave's share = 4 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount shared = £720

Let us assume that Dave receives = £m

So, Chris's share = £90 + m

Also, Chris's share : Dave's Share = 7: 5

⇒ $\frac{90 + m}{m} = \frac{7}{5}$

Here, solving for m , we get : 5(90 + m) = 7m

or, 450 + 5m = 7m

⇒ 2m = 450, ⇒ m = 225

So, Dave's Share = m = £225

Chris's share = £90 + m = 225 + 90 = £ 315

Hence, Ed's share = Total - ( sum of Dave's and Chris's share)

= 720 -( 315 + 225) = £180

So, ratio of Ed's share : Dave's share = £180 : £225

or, Ratio of Ed's share : Dave's share = 4: 5

Sin( 20 ) + 4 Sin( 20 ).Cos( 20 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2 × 2 Sin(20).Cos(20)/ Cos(20) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2 × Sin( 40 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2Sin( 40 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2Cos( 50 ) / Cos ( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + 2Cos( 20 + 30 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

________________________________

2 × Cos( 30 + 20 ) =

2 × [ Cos(30).Cos(20) - Sin(30).Sin(20) ] =

2 × [ √3/2 × Cos(20) - 1/2 × Sin(20) ] =

√3 Cos(20) - Sin(20)

_________________________________

Sin( 20 ) + 2Cos ( 20 + 30 ) / Cos( 20 ) =

Sin( 20 ) + √3 Cos(20) - Sin(20) / Cos(20) =

Sin(20) - Sin(20) + √3 Cos(20) / Cos(20) =

0 + √3 Cos(20) / Cos(20) =

√3 Cos(20) / Cos(20) =

Cos(20) simplifies from the numerator and denominator of fraction

√3 × 1 / 1 =

√3

Using the figure below, find the measure of z ( just enter in the number for your answer don’t worry about the degree symbol or

belka [17]

Answer:

z = 29°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the 3 angles in a triangle always add up to 180°. So for triangle ABC, angle A = 59° (given), and angle B = 43° + 49° = 92° (given).

angle A + angle B + angle C = 180°

59° + 92° + z = 180°

151° + z = 180°

Subtract 151° from both sides of the equation

z = 180° -151°

z = 29°
