Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Since <XYZ and <YZX are said to be congruent, therefore, the side opposite to each of the angle are also equal. Therefore, ∆XYZ is an isosceles ∆.
Find the value of n by creating an equation to solve for n:
XY = (9n + 12) ft
XZ = (15n - 6) ft
XY = XZ (2 equal lengths of isosceles ∆)
9n + 12 = 15n - 6 (substitution)
Combine like terms
9n - 15n = - 12 - 6
-6n = -18
Divide both sides by -6
-6n/-6 = -18/-6
n = 3
Find the length of leg XY by substituting n = 3 into XY = (9n + 12) ft.
XY = (9(3) + 12) ft
XY = (27 + 12) ft
XY = 39 ft
Find the length of leg XZ by substituting n = 3 into XZ = (15n - 6) ft.
XZ = (15(3) - 6) ft
XZ = (45 - 6) ft
XZ = 39 ft
D. 118 would be the answer
Two complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Hence, the problem can be set up and solved. Let x represents one angle and 5x represent the angle that is 5 times greater:x + 5x = 90 (simplify)6x = 90 (next divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x [the smaller angle])x = 15 (this is the smaller angle, next subtract 15 from 90 to find the greater angle)90 - 15 = 75 (this is the greater angle which is 5 times that of its complement) <span>90 take away 73...</span>

Mixture problem.
Ratio of 20% : 50% acids
=50-39 : 39-20
=11:19
total volume
=400L
vol. of 20% acid=400*(11/(11+19)=400*(11/30)=146.667 L
vol. of 50% acid=400*(19/(11+19)=253.333 L
Alternatively, use c=volume of 20%, d=vol of 50%
then
0.2c+0.5d=400*0.39
Since c+d=400, we have
0.2c+0.5(400-c)=400*0.39=156
solve for c:
0.3c=44
c=146.667 and d=400-c=253.333 as before.
