Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

there is 15 emperor penguins...they make up 30% of all the penguins

so 30% of all the penguins is 15

let x represent all the penguins

turn ur percent to a decimal

0.30x = 15

x = 15 / 0.30

x = 50 <===== 50 total penguins

In the diagram below, BD is parallel to XY. What is the value of x?
MAXImum [283]

If two lines are crossed by another line that is called the transversal, the corresponding angles those in matching corners. In this problem, we have two parallel lines:


\overleftrightarrow{XY} \\ \\ \overleftrightarrow{BD}


In this way, x° and 76° are corresponding, therefore:

(x)° = 76°

∴ x = 76

Given the equation 5x − 4 = –2(3x + 2), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.
blagie [28]
A.
5x-4=-2(3x+2) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\&#10;5x-4=-2 \times 3x-2 \times 2 \\&#10;5x-4=-6x-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 6x to both sides} \\&#10;11x-4=-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 4 to both sides} \\&#10;11x=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{divide both sides by 11} \\&#10;x=0

B.
3(2x-4)=5x-1 \\&#10;6x-12=5x-1 \\&#10;\boxed{11x-12=-1} \Leftarrow \hbox{the first mistake} \\&#10;11x=11 \\&#10;\boxed{x=11} \Leftarrow \hbox{the second mistake}

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.

The correct solution:
3(2x-4)=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\&#10;3 \times 2x+3 \times (-4)=5x-1 \\ 6x-12=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{subtract 5x from both sides} \\&#10;x-12=-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  |\hbox{add 12 to both sides} \\&#10;x=11
