X² +(x+1)²=5²
2x² +2x +1=25
x²+x-12=0
(x-3)(x+4)=0
x=3, or x=-4, which is impossible
so x=3, x+1=4
one leg is 3, the other leg is 4

A tablespoon is equivalent to about 4 teaspoons. A recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar for every 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. What is the
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

I understand the exercise is about unit rates, but why go out of the way to state false information? A tablespoon is exactly 3 teaspoons!

Anyway,

(1/2 tsp)/(2/3 cup) * (1tbsp)/(4tsp) = 1/2 * 3/2 * 1/4 = 3/16 tbsp/cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok

Given the picture below, find x and both angles.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

x =42.5

x+8 =50.5

3x+2 =  129.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles shown are supplementary, so they add to 180

x+8   + 3x+2 = 180

Combine like terms

4x+10 = 180

Subtract 10

4x = 170

Divide by 4

x =42.5

x+8 = 42.5+8 = 50.5

3x+2 = 3*42.5 +2 = 127.5 +2 = 129.5

A bear loves visiting his friend, the piglet. The distance between their houses is 300m , and the bear always walks from his hou
stira [4]

Answer:

10mins

Step-by-step explanation:

you can draw a rtd chart for this problem

             rate (m/min)|  time (mins)  | distance (m )

regular: (300/x)  | x  | 300m

fist 1/4 : (300/x) | 75: (300/x)  | 75m

last 3/4:  | (300/x)+15 | 225:(300/x + 15) | 225m

then, make an equation for the times:

x= (75: (300/x)) + (225: ( (300/x)+15) + 2.5 = x

// get the 2.5 mins from the stop for honey, and we know that regular speed is equal to the one with a stop

solve equation to get x=-20/3 , x=10, because speed is positive, x=10 is the most reasonable answer
