Option B. 55° is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

"The sum of interior angles of a triangle is always 180°"

Given

m∠A=(3x+1)°

m∠B=(2x-1)°

m∠C = 40°

We know that

m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°

Putting the values of angles

$(3x+1) +(2x-1) +40 = 180\\3x+1+2x-1+40 = 180\\5x+40=180\\$

Subtracting 40 from both sides

$5x+40-40=180-40\\5x=140$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{140}{5}\\x=28$

We have to find Angle B,

m∠B = 2x-1 = 2(28)-1 = 56-1 = 55°

Hence,

m∠B=55°

Option B. 55° is the correct answer

juin [17]

The balance is $145 but after one makes he minimum payment of $20, there is $125 left to pay. However interest is added before the next month’s bill is generated.

Remember that percent means out of 100. 1.5% means 1.5/100 = .015

To find 1.5% of 125 we multiply (.015)(125) = 1.875 But as this is money the interest is rounded to two decimal places and so is $1.88

We add this to 125 to get next month’s balance which is 125 + 1.88 = $126.88

Find two positive integers such that the sum of the first number and four times the second number is 1000, and the product of th

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The two numbers are:

x = 500

y = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two numbers x and y, such that:

x + 4*y = 1000

f(x, y) = x*y is maximum.

From the first equation, we can isolate one of the variables to get

x = 1000 - 4y

now we can replace it in f(x, y):

x*y = (1000 - 4*y)*y = 1000*y - 4*y^2

So now we want to maximize the function:

f(y) =- 4*y^2 + 1000*y

where y must be an integer.

Notice that this is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient (so the arms of the graph will open downwards), thus, the maximum will be at the vertex.

Remember that for a general quadratic equation:

y = a*x^2 + bx + c

the x-value of the vertex is:

x = -b/(2*a)

so, in the case of:

f(y) =- 4*y^2 + 1000*y

the y-value of the vertex will be:

y = -1000/(2*-4) = 1000/8 = 125

So we found the value of y.

now we can use the equation:

x = 1000 - 4*y

x = 1000 - 4*125 = 1000 - 500 = 500

x = 500

Then the two numbers are:

x =500

y = 125

tatuchka [14]

Answer: 7689 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Since tickets was sold for every seat, the total number of tickets that were sold will be the addition of the 802 seats in the balcony and 6887 seats on the main floor. This will be:

= 802 + 6887

= 7689 tickets
