Dennis can complete 24

HOEP THIS HELPED!

Answer:

A. Dennis can complete less than 24 questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the remaining number of questions to be completed.  He can complete each of them in 5/2 minutes each; this gives us the expression 5/2x.

He has already spent 10 minutes; this gives us 5/2x+10.

He has less than 70 minutes to spend; this gives us the inequality

5/2x+10<70

Subtract 10 from each side:

5/2x+10-10 < 70-10

5/2x < 60

Divide both sides by 5/2:

5/2x÷5/2 < 60÷5/2

x < 60/1 ÷ 5/2

To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:

x < 60/1 × 2/5

x < 120/5

x < 24

The medians $AD$, $BE$, and $CF$ of triangle $ABC$ intersect at the centroid $G$. The line through $G$ that is parallel to $BC$
Flauer [41]
G divides each median in the ratio of 2 to 1 (the longer side goes from G to the angle) triangle AMN is similar to triangle ABC (why?) AMN is a scaled version of ABC (by a factor of ⅔) its area should be scaled by (⅔)^2

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. If x+y=3 and 3x+5y=13, then x-y is equal to?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

(1,2)

y=2

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=3

3x+5y=13

solve the equation

x=3-y

3x+5y=13

substitute the value of x into an equation

3(3-y)+5y=13

distribute

9-3y+5y=13

add -3y to 5y

9+2y=13

subtract 9 from both sides

2y=4

divide both sides by 2

y=2

substitute the value of y into an equation

x=3-2

subtract 3 to 2

x=1

--------
