The sum of positive integers x and y is 246, and x/y = 5. What is the value of y?

1 answer:

4 0

X=205 y=41 You come across these answers by making an equation or system of equations based on the word problem given. 1. x+y=246 and 2. x÷y=5 . The you would multiply by y on both sides and get x=5y . Then you would substitute for x in the first equation and get (5y)+y=246 . Then you would get 6y=246 . Them you would divide by 6 on both sides and get y=246÷6 . Then you would get y=41. Then you would plug the y value into the first equation. You would get that x+(41)= 246, subtract on both sides and get x=246-41, then you would get an answer of x=205.

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below. This question is Find angles in isosceles triangles.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

x = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two sides of the triangle have the same length, we knows it's isosceles. This means we we will have two base angles with the same value. Since x is the angle in between both legs, we knows x is the vertex angle.

62 is a base angle, which means the other base will be 62 as well. And since the angles of a triangle always add up to 180,

x = 180 - (62 + 62)

x = 180 - 124

x = 56
