Answer:
x = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 19 + 5x = 180
I say this because it is an angle that is equivalent to the one adjacent to 2x+19, which is on a straight line. That means it is equal to 180.
7x + 19 = 180
180 - 19 = 7x
161/7 = x
x = 23
Answer:
Wow everyone is being so noice today is today some kind of special occassion?
You need to estimate the square root of 200 ft². Rewrite 200 as 2 x 100, then square root of (2*100) is:
10*sqrt(2). The sqrt(2) = 1.414, so the length of each side of the square will be 10*1.414 = 14.14 ft or about 14 ft.

THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
How to set up as three linear equations to find the answer?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18

Answer:
Claire traveled for 9 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total Distance traveled = 701 miles
Distance traveled each day = 80 miles
Distance traveled on last day = 61 miles
We need to find the number of days Claire traveled.
Solution:
Let the number of days Claire traveled be denoted by 'd'.
Now we can say that;
Total Distance traveled is equal to sum of Distance traveled each day multiplied by number of days and Distance traveled on last day.
framing in equation form we get;

Now Subtracting both side by 61 using Subtraction Property of Equality we get;

Now Dividing both side by 80 we get;

Hence Claire traveled 80 miles in 8 days and 61 miles on last day making of total <u>9 days</u> of travel.
