Answer:

  9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the shortest piece. Then the sum of lengths is ...

  x + (x +25) +3x = 40

  5x = 15

  x = 3

  3x = 9

The third piece is 9 feet long.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The pieces are 3 ft, 28 ft, 9 ft, so total 40 ft, as required.

Which three expressions in the table below have a solution of 10 when <br> x = -1 and y = 2
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The expressions are;

-5(x)(y)

8-y/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select expressions on the table having a solution of 10, given the value of x and y

For ;

-x(10) = -1(10) = -10

x + y + 7

-1 +2 + 7 = 8

8 -y/x = 8-(2/-1) = 8 + 2 = 10

-5(x)(y)

= -5(-1)(2) = 10

16-x + y - 7

16-(-1) + 2 - 7

16 + 1 + 2 - 7 = 12

The population of a certain country in 1997 was 288 million people. In​ addition, the population of the country was growing at a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

a) In the year 1998 with 3 days, 2 hours, 44 minutes and 18.1006141 seconds

b) In the year 1998 with 19 days, 18 hours, 5 minutes and 35.10875472 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To know the time when the population will be 305 million people, we need to isolate the variable t in the equation, P(t)=288(1.009)^{t-1997}

So we isolate t with the property of logarithms that allow us go down the exponent, applying in both sides of the equation

For this subsection the value of P is equal to 305 million people

Ln(305)=Ln[(288)(1.009)]^{t-1997}

Ln(305)=(t-1997)*Ln[(288)(1.009)]

Now, we can isolate the value of t

\frac{Ln(305)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]} =t-1997

\frac{Ln(305)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]}-1997 =t

t=1998.008531776402

So to know the exact date we multiply the number after the point, that is 0.008531776402 for the number of days that have 1 year, equal to 365 days

0.008531776402*365= 3.114098387 days

then the number after the point, that is 0.114098387 will be multiply for the number of hours that have 1 day

0.114098387*24= 2.738361282 hours

then the number after the point, that is 0.738361282 will be multiply for the number of minutes that have 1 hour

0.738361282*60= 44.3016769 minutes

Finally, the number after the point, that is 0.3016769 will be multiply for the number of seconds that have 1 minute

0.3016769*60= 18.1006141 seconds

And we obtain that the time, when the population of the country is 305 million people, is in the year 1998 with 3 days, 2 hours, 44 minutes and 25.152 seconds

b) For calculate the time when the population is 395 million people, we do the same process we did in the subsection a)

Ln(395)=Ln[(288)(1.009)]^{t-1997}

Ln(395)=(t-1997)*Ln[(288)(1.009)]

Now, we can isolate the value of t

\frac{Ln(395)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]} =t-1997

\frac{Ln(395)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]}-1997 =t

t=1998.05412021527

0.05412021527*365= 19.75387857 days

0.75387857 *24= 18.09308577 hours

0.09308577*60= 5.585145912 minutes

0.585145912*60= 35.10875472 seconds

And we obtain that the time, when the population of the country is 395 million people, is in the year 1998 with 19 days, 18 hours, 5 minutes and 35.10875472 seconds

Help me pls and explain​
hammer [34]

Answer:

14. x = 1

16. x = 4

18. x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

14. We have ∠ HGF = ∠ HGP + ∠ PGF

Given, ∠ HGF = 177x + 1, ∠HGP = 1 + 99x and ∠ PGF = 78°

So, 177x + 1 = 1 + 99x + 78

⇒ 78x = 78

⇒ x = 1 (Answer)

16. We have ∠ BCD = ∠ BCK + ∠ KCD

Given that, ∠ BCK = 9x - 2, ∠ BCD = 174° and ∠ KCD = 34x + 4

So, 174 = 9x - 2 + 34x + 4 = 43 x + 2

⇒ 43x = 172

⇒ x = 4 (Answer)

18. We have ∠ IJK = ∠ IJR + ∠ RJK

Now, given that, ∠ RJK = 8x + 10, ∠ IJR = 5x +8 and ∠ IJK = 148°

So, 148 = 5x + 8 + 8x + 10 =13x + 18

⇒ 13x = 130

⇒ x = 10 (Answer)
