Let's call the angles x and y. We know that supplementary angles must add to 180 degrees, so x+y=180.
Furthermore, we know that x is 75% more than 2y. We can write "75% more than" numerically as 1.75, so x = 1.75(2y).
We can simplify the second equation by multiplying 1.75 and 2 together to get x = 3.5y.
Now we can solve the system of equations by substitution by plugging 3.5y in for x in x+y=180.
(3.5y) + y = 180
Combine like terms.
4.5y = 180
Divide by 4.5
y = 40
Plug y = 40 in and solve for x.
x + 40 = 180
x = 140
The answer is 40 and 140. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Each knight will 4.8 hrs spend on guard in one day
Step-by-step explanation:
A castle has to be guarded 24 hours a day 5 knights are ordered to split each day's guard duty equally
Each knights has to guard equally l.e for equal time .
That means 24 hours time has to be equally divided among the 5 knights
= 24 / 5 = 4.8
Each knight will spend on guard in one day = 4.8 hrs
Answer:
1+6y= "7y=7"
1+5y= "6y=4"
Step-by-step explanation:
X represents "1" so you replace your "X" with "1" and solve the equation.
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
332.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of decisions made in 1982-1983 be x.
44.6% = 0.446.
This is a decrease, so the number of decisions announced in 2005-2006 is
(1 - 0.446) * x and this = 184.
0.554x = 184
x = 184/0.554
x = 332.
