Twice a number is 60 more than five times the number. what is the number?

1 answer:

5 0

Let the number be represented by x
2x=60+ 5x -20*2=60+5*-20
2x-5x=5x-5x+60 -40=60+-100
-3x=60 -40=-40
-3x/-3=60/-3
x=-20
Therefore the number is -20

The owners of the pet sitting business have set aside $48 to purchase chewy toys for dogs, 2,

Contact [7]

6 chewy toys and 6 cat collars are needed to have the same amount or price at both stores.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more angles and variables.

Let x represent the number of dogs and y represent the number of cats collars. Hence:

At Marco's market:

2x + 6y = 48 (1)

At Sonia's superstore:

4x + 4y = 48 (2)

Graphing both equations, the solution is at (6,6)

A sprinkler rotates 360 degrees the total are watered is 204yds squared<br> what is the raduius

SIZIF [17.4K]

The radius of the area the sprinkler has watered is 8.06 yards.

<h3>What is Rotation ?</h3>

Rotation is spinning around a fixed point with a fixed radius in circular motions.

It is given that a sprinkler rotates 360 degree

The area watered is 204 sq. yards

Radius = ?

A sprinkler rotates in circle

Therefore the area of the circle = π r²

204 = π r²

204 * 7 /22 = r²

r² = 64.91

r = 8.06 yards

Therefore the radius of the area the sprinkler has watered is 8.06 yards.

Write a coordinate proof to prove that the segment that joins the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle to the midpoint of its b

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Slope of the base segment line is zero, hence base segment is horizontal

Slope of the segment that joins the vertex angle to the midpoint of its base is undefined hence the line is vertical

Therefore, angle between base segment line and the segment line from the vertex angle to the midpoint is perpendicular

Therefore, the segment that joins the vertex angle to an isosceles triangle to the midpoint of its base is perpendicular to the base

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we prove the required relation as follows;

Let the isosceles be ABC

The coordinates of the points are

C = (0, 0) (Vertex)

A = (-a, b)

C = (a, b)

P = (0, b) (Midpoint of base)

Therefore, the gradient or slope of the base AC is presented as follows;

$Slope, m \, of \. base, \, AC= \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{b - b}{a - (-a)} = \frac{0}{2\cdot a} = 0$

Hence, segment AC is vertical

$Slope, m \, of \, segment \ CP \, joining \, vertex, \, to \, midpoint, P, on \,AC = \frac{0 - b}{0 - 0} = \frac{-b}{0} = Undifined.$

Hence, segment CP is vertical

Therefore, the segment that joins the vertex angle to an isosceles triangle to the midpoint of its base is perpendicular to the base.
