Katy buys ‘x’ cakes.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago
5 0
Answers:
Katy bought 12 cakes
Gugu bought 36 cakes
Deanna bought 14 cakes

Explanation:
We are given that:
Katy bought x cakes 
Gugu bought 3 times as many as Katy. This means that Gugu bought 3x cakes
Deanna bought 2 cakes more than Katy. This means that Deanna bought x+2 cakes

Total number of cakes bought = x + 3x + x + 2 = 5x + 2 cakes

We know that the price of each cake is 85 p = £0.85 and that the total amount paid is <span>£52.7
This means that:
(5x+2)(0.85) = 52.7
4.25x + 1.7 = 52.7
4.25x = 52.7 - 1.7
4.25x = 51
x = 51 / 4.25
x = 12

Now, we will get the number of cakes that each bought as follows:
Katy bought x cakes = 12 cakes
Gugu bought 3x cakes = 3(12) = 36 cakes
Deanna bought x+2 cakes = 12 + 2 = 14 cakes

Hope this helps :)</span>

Find the values of x and y that make these triangles congruent by the HL Theorem.
RideAnS [48]

According to HL theorem if one leg and hypotenuse of one right triangle are equal to one leg and hypotenuse of other right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

By using this theorem we can set up the system of equations as follows:

x=y+1 ...(1)

2x+3= 3y + 3 ..(2)

By using equation (1) next step is to plug in y+1 for x in equation (2). So,

2 ( y + 1) + 3 = 3y + 3

2y + 2 + 3 = 3y + 3 By using distribution property.

2y + 5 = 3y + 3

2y + 5 - 5 = 3y + 3 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.

2y = 3y - 2

2y - 3y = -2 Subtract 3y from each sides.

-y = -2

So, y=2

Next step is to plug in y=2 in equation (1) to get the value of x. Hence,

x= 2+1

=3

So, x=3 and y=2 make these triangles congruent.

So, the correct choice is 3. x = 3, y = 2.

The measures of the angles of △ABC are given by the expressions in the table.
vovangra [49]
The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

48 +(6x -28) +2x = 180
8x +20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20

∠B = (6x -28)° = (6*20 -28)° = 92°

∠C = 2x° = 40°

___
x = 20
∠B = 92°
∠C = 40°

Help me please, its due at night today!!!
postnew [5]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of polygon = area of square + area of triangle

Square:

Side = 12 cm

Area of square  = side *side

                          = 12 * 12

                          = 144 sq.cm

Triangle:

base (b) = 12 cm

Height h = 19 cm

Area =\frac{1}{2}bh\\\\=\frac{1}{2}*12*19\\

= 6 * 19

= 114 sq.cm

Area of polygon = 144 + 114 = 258 square cm
