Answer:21 marbles would be added to raise the water 2 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

When 12 marbles are added to a rectangular aquarium, the water in the aquarium rises 1 1/2 inches. Converting 1 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 3/2 inches

Let x represent the number of marbles that would be added to the aquarium to raise the water 2 3/4 inches. Converting 2 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 11/4 inches. Therefore

12 marbles = 3/2 inches rise

x marbles = 11/4 inches rise

Cross multiplying,

12 × 11/4 = 3/2 × x

33 = 3x/2

3x = 33 × 2 = 66

x = 66/3 = 21

Furkat [3]

Answer: Addition and subtraction is performed after multiplication, division and remainder

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of operations is to calculate whatever is in the parenthesis first.

Then calculate multiplication and division depending on which comes first as you move from left to right.

Then addition and subtraction can be performed also depending on which comes first as you move left to right.

Use the diagram and given information to answer the questions and prove the statement.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u> ASA Postulate (Angle-Side-Angle):</u>

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Consider triangles XYB and ZYA. In these triangles

  • ∠X≅∠Z (given)
  • XY≅ZY (given)
  • ∠Y is common angle

By ASA Postulate, triangles XYB and ZYA are congruent. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, so

BX≅AZ

The value of x is ___, and the value of y is ___. <br><br> Please help me out! Thanks! <br> :)
vagabundo [1.1K]
The value of x is 60, as you wrote. The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°.

The sum of all angles on a straight line is also 180°. So to find y, solve for the third angle of the triangle on the left.

50 + 60 = 110. 180-110 = 70°.

Now we know 2 of the 3 angles along the line (70° and x, 60°)

70 + 60 + y = 180
130 + y = 180
y = 50

Hope this helps. LMK if you have questions.
