Answer:

Mark has 13 marbles

Don has 40 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Mark's Marbles = M

Let the number of Don's Marble = D

D = 1 + 3M - - - - (1)  (Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has)

D + M = 53 - - - - - (2) (total number of marbles is 53)

puttin the value of D from equation (1) into equation (2)

(1 + 3M) + M = 53

1 + 3M + M = 53

1 + 4M = 53

4M = 53 - 1 = 52

4M = 52

M = 52 ÷ 4

M = 13

finding D by putting the value of M (M = 13) into equation 1

D = 1 + 3M - - - - (1)

D = 1 + 3 (13)

D = 1 + 39

D = 40

∴ Mark has 13 marbles

Don has 40 marbles

Let r and s be the roots of x^2 - 6x + 2 = 0. Find (r - s)^2.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: (r-s)^{2} = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

  • x^{2} -6x+9=-2+9
  • (x-3)^{2}=7
  • (x-3)= -\sqrt{7} or \sqrt{7} <-- there's no plus/minus sign.
  • (x-3) = -\sqrt{7}
  • x = 3 -\sqrt{7} <-- root.
  • (x-3) = \sqrt{7}
  • x = 3+\sqrt{7} <-- root.
  • [(3-\sqrt{7})-(3+\sqrt{7})]^{2}
  • (3-\sqrt{7} -3 - \sqrt{7})^{2} <-- don't forget to distribute the negative.
  • (-2\sqrt{7})^{2}
  • (4)(7)
  • 28

Segment XY bisects angle WXZ and angle mZXY = 37 degrees. Find angle mWXY and angle mZXW
Vadim26 [7]

we know that

The angle bisector, is the line or line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts.

So

in this problem

m∠ZXW=m∠WXY+m∠ZXY

m∠WXY=m∠ZXY

Part a) <u>Find the value of m∠WXY</u>

m∠ZXY=37°-----> given value

so

m∠WXY=m∠ZXY=37°

therefore

<u>the answer part a)</u>

The measure of angle WXY is equal to 37°

Part b) <u>Find the value of m∠ZXW</u>

m∠ZXW=m∠WXY+m∠ZXY

m∠ZXW=37°+37°=74°

therefore

<u>the answer part b) is</u>

the measure of angle ZXW is 74 degrees
