Please help! Hi, I'm stuck on a part of this question, we have to solve using Gauss Jordan Elimination: A corporation wants to l

ease a fleet of 12 airplanes with a combined carrying capacity of 220 passengers. The three available types of planes carry 10,15,20 passengers. How many of each type of plane should be leased?

Do common sense has anything to do with this question? Because 
<span>corporation might forget the arbitrary 12 airplane rule </span>
<span>and have 11 times 20 = 220. </span>
<span>But perhaps they get a discount if all 12 hangars are used! </span>

<span>Playing by the rules of the question:- </span>
<span>Let a, b, c be the aeroplanes that carry </span>
<span>10, 15, and 20 passengers, respectively, </span>

<span>a + b + c = 12 </span>
<span>10a +15b +20c = 220 </span>

<span>We may rearrange these as </span>
<span>4a + 4b + 4c = 48 </span>
<span>2a + 3b + 4c = 44 </span>
<span>Now subtract </span>
<span>2a + b = 4 </span>

<span>There appear to be 3 options </span>
<span>a = 0, b = 4 which means 220 = 0*10 + 4*15 + 8*20 </span>
<span>a = 1, b = 2 which means 220 = 1*10 + 2*15 + 9*20 </span>
<span>a = 2, b = 0 which means 220 = 2*10 + 0*15 + 7*20 </span>

<span>If you dismiss the ones with zeros it may be that </span>
<span>the expected answer to "How many of each plane" is </span>

<span>One that carries 10, 2 that carries 15, and 9 that carries 20 </span>

Answer:

Top question: -7°

Bottom question : 18°

Step-by-step explanation:

Top question:

The base angles of am isosceles triangle are congruent:

x + 46 = 39 because the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent

x + 46° = 39°

x = -7°

Bottom question

The missing angle is 3x because the base angles are congruent

To find the value of x, we must add all the angles inside the triangle, and find the value of x that makes it equal to 180°

3x + 3x + 4x = 180°

10x = 180°

x = 18°

Sorry for the late post!
