Tony and Cleo are donating some of their books to a hospital. If Tony contributes half of his books and Cleo gives one third of

hers, they will donate a total of 30 books. If tony gives two fifths of his books and Cleo contributes half of hers, they will donate a total of 31 books. How many books does each have?

Short Answer: Tony 40 Cleo 30
Givens

T = Tony
C = Cleo

Equations
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30      (1)
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31       (2)

Adjustments
Multiply  (1) by 3
Multiply (2) by 2

New Equations
3/2 T + C = 90      (1a)
<u>4/5 T + C = 62</u>      (2a) Subtract (2a) from (1a)
(3/2 - 4/5)T = 28                      the common multiple of 2 and 5 = 10. 
(15/10 - 8/10)T = 28
7/10 T = 28                              Multiply by 10
7T = 28*10
7T = 280  Divide by 7
T = 280/7 = 40

Put T = 40 into (1)
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30
1/2 (40) + 1/3 C = 30
20 + 1/3 C = 30                      Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/3 C = 30 - 20
1/3 C = 10                              Multiply through by 3
C = 10 * 3
C = 30

Answer:
Cleo has 30 books.
Tony has 40 books.

Check
<em>Use Equation 2</em>
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31
2/5*40 + 1/2 * 30 = ? 31
16 + 15 =?3`
31 = 31 They are equal.

Answer:

C.540 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The object is 6 times as big as the scale drawing. The area of the scaled object , to find the area of the object.. you have to multiply the area of the scaled object by the scale factor squared

15×6^2=15×36=540

The area of the object ia 540 square centimeters

Answer:

x = 40

y = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

I figured out the answer by finding the x on the left triangle first by writing an equation:

(3x - 18) + (x + 7) + (x - 9) = 180

once I worked that I plugged in the number which was 40.

Then for the triangle to the right I also plugged in the numbers for x and got 118 degrees I took 180 and subtracted 118 to get my answer of 62 for y.

<h2>1. Answer: </h2>

This is an angle whose measure is between 0 degrees and 90 degrees matches to Acute angle

In fact this is the definition of acute angles, if an angle has a measure less than 90°, it's called an acute angle.  

<h2>2. Answer: </h2>

These are a pair of angles, adjacent or nonadjacent whose sum is 90° matches to Complementary

The definition of complementary angles is that they are angles that add up to 90°. For instance, if you have two angles 50° and 40°, the complement of 50° is 40° and the complement of 40° is 30°.

<h2>3. Answer: </h2>

These are angles, segment, triangles, etc that have exactly the same measures matches to Congruent

The concept of congruence stands for equal things. So line segments are congruent if they have the same length, angles are congruent if they have the same measure and, in general, shapes are congruent if you can turn one into the other by moving, rotating or flipping.

<h2>4. Answer: </h2>

This is an angle having a measure greater than 90° and up to 180° matches to obtuse angle

In fact this is the definition of obtuse angles, if an angle has a measure greater than 90°, but also less than 180°, it's called an obtuse angle

<h2>5. Answer: </h2>

This is an angle whose measure is exactly 90° matches to Right  

In fact this is the definition of right angles, 90° angles are also known right angles. This kind of angles are often labeled with tiny squares.  

<h2>6. Answer: </h2>

Two angles whose measures add up to 180° matches to straight angle  

Angles that add up to 180° are called supplementary angles. For instance, 60° and 120° are supplements to each other because they add up to 180°.

<h2>7. Answer: </h2>

These are angles opposites one another at the intersection of two lines matches to vertical angles

Angles on opposite sides of intersecting lines are called vertical angles. This is the name of this type of angles because they have the same vertex, or corner, at the intersection. Vertical angles are always congruent to each other meaning this they always have the same measure.

<h2>8. Answer: </h2>

These are two angles in a plane which share a common vertex and a common side but do not overlap matches to adjacent angles

This is the definition of adjacent angles. They have a common side and a common vertex but they don't overlap. So if the vertex is called B, we have formed the angles ∠ABC and ∠CBD and these two angles don't overlap.

<h2>9. Answer: </h2>

This is an angle with a measure of 180 degrees matches to straight angle  

180° angles are straight angles. As you can see from the figure in the image, straight angles are identified for being in a straight line.

<h2>10. Answer: </h2>

This is the angle formed with you extend a side of the polygon it is adjacent to the interior angle of the polygon matches to exterior angle.

They're called exterior angles because they're outside the parallel lines formed when extending a side of the polygon and they're called alternate angles because they're on different sides of the transversal and they touch different parallel lines.
