If LllM then consecutive interior angles should be supplementary
x-5+2x+5=180
x+2x=180
3x=180
x=60

Three numbers are in the ratio 3:9:10. If 10 is added to the last number, then the three numbers form an arithmetic progression.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

 The numbers are 6, 18, and 30 

Step-by-step explanation:

If the three numbers are in the ratio of 3:9:10,

let the numbers be 3x, 9x and 10x.

If 10 is added to the last number to form an arithmetic progression

Then, 3x 9x (10x+10) are the progression

The common difference of an arithmetic progression (d) = T₂ - T₁ = T₃ - T₂

T₂-T₁ = T₃ - T₂ .............. Equation 1

Where T₁ = first term of the progression, T₂ = Second term of the progression, T₃ = third term of the progression

Given: T₁ = 3x, T₂ = 9x, T₃ = 10x +10

Substituting these values into equation 1

9x-3x = (10x+10)-9x

Solving the equation above,

3x = 10+x

3x-x = 10

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 2.

Therefore the numbers are 6, 18, and 30

If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you'll get only $1 change from your $10 bill. but if you buy four pens and two me

Let p be the prize of a pen and m the prize of a mechanical pencils. If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you spend 6p+m. We know that this equals 9, because you get 1$ change from a 10$ bill.

Similarly, if you buy four pens and two mechanical pencils, you spend 4p+2m, which is 8$, because now you get a $2 change. Put these equation together in a system:

$\begin{cases} 6p+m=9\\4p+2m=8\end{cases}$
