Answer:

C:400 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the amount of additional  weight which can carry by an elephant.

The elephant can carry weight  on its back=1250 pounds

The combined weight of four people=831 pounds

We have to find the value of w.

According to question

w+831\leq 1250

w+831-831=1250-831

Using subtraction property of inequality

w\leq 419

Hence, the elephant can carry amount of  additional weight 419 pound or less than 419 pounds.

Therefore, option C is true.

If f(x) = 2x² - 6x + 8, find f(a - 2).
yan [13]

Answer: f(a-2) = 2a² - 14a + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x² - 6x + 8

you can take a-2 and substitute it for each x, which would look like this:

f(a-2) = 2(a-2)² - 6(a-2) + 8

then distribute those in ( )

f(a-2) = 2a² - 8a + 8 - 6a + 12 + 8

combine like terms

f(a-2) = 2a² - 14a + 28

What is the measure of _Y, in degrees?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

C. 116º

Step-by-step explanation:

Both sides are congruent, so the triangle is an isosceles triangle. So angle Z will have to be congruent to angle X. Add together the two angles, (32 + 32) and subtract the sum from 180º since all triangles add up to 180º.

32 + 32 = 64

180 - 64 = 116

The length of GH is 15.

<h3>How to calculate the length?</h3>

GH = IG

GH = 5x - 10

IG = 3x

5x - 10 = 3x

5x - 3x = 10

2x = 10

x = 10/2 = 5

GH = 5x - 10

= 5 * 5 - 10 = 25 - 10

GH = 15

<ABD = < DBC

<ABD = 10y°

<DBC = (8y + 4)°

10y° = (8y + 4)°

10y = 8y + 4

10y - 8y = 4

2y = 4

y = 4/2 = 2

The value of y is 2

<DBE = <DBC + <CBE

<DBC = 10y°

<CBE = <DBC = 10y°

y = 2

<DBC = <CBE = 10y° = 10*2° = 20°

<DBE = 20° + 20° = 40°
