(n+20)*2 = 99.2

distribute

2n + 40 = 99.2

subtract 40 from each side

2n = 59.2

divide each side by 2

n = 29.6

Complete the equation to show the relationship between the number of buses, x, and the number of people that can be transported,

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$y = 40\cdot k$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that each bus has the same capacity and exists a direct proportionality between the amount of people that is transported and the number of buses:

$y \propto x$

$y = k \cdot x$

Where $k$ is the proportionality constant, which is equivalent to the maximum capacity of each bus. In that case, the quantity of people that is transported on 40 buses is:

$y = 40\cdot k$

Are corresponding angles are still congruent if the lines aren’t parallel?

Alina [70]

No they are not in the corresponding angles theorem it states that if and only if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. And if two lines are cut by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
