The numbers of blue, red, green and black pencils are proportional to the numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7, respectively. If we add the nu

mber of the difference of black and green pencils, and the number of the difference of red and blue pencils, then we will get 12. How many green pencils are there?

Answer:

  20 green pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between black and green "ratio units" is 7 -5 = 2. The difference between red and blue ratio units is 3 -2 = 1. The sum of those differences is 2 +1 = 3 ratio units, which represent 12 pencils. Then each ratio unit represents 12/3 = 4 pencils.

The 5 ratio units of green pencils represent 5·4 pencils = 20 green pencils.

_____

If you need an equation, you can use k as the constant of proportionality. Then the sum of differences described is ...

  (7k -5k) + (3k -2k) = 12

  3k = 12 . . . . simplify

  k = 4 . . . . . . divide by 3

  5k = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . number of green pencils

igomit [66]
4x -2y = 60
4x -3y = 26
(-) (+) (-)
__________
1y = 34
y = 34

To find x
4x -2y = 60
4x -(2)(34) = 60
4x -68 = 60
4x = 60 + 68
4x = 128
x = 32

Answer:
x=32 ; y=34

Decrypt the word DKA if it was encrypted using an alphabetic Caesar shift cipher that starts with shift 5 (mapping A to F), and
pochemuha

Answer:

YET

Step-by-step explanation:

TO DECRYPT DKA USING THE CAESAR SHIFT CIPHER STARTING WITH 5 SHIFTS.

TO DO THIS DECRYPTION, WE'RE GOING TO LOOP THE ALPHABETS.

D = LOOPING THIS LETTER 5 TIMES, WE HAVE C - B - A - Z - Y.

SO, D IS DECRYPTED AS Y

GOING FURTHER, THE ENCRYPTION SHIFTS BY AN ADDITIONAL SPACE. THIS MEANS, IF THE FIRST "Y" WAS ENCRYPTED IN 5 SPACES TO GET D, AND AN ADDITIONAL SPACE WAS ADDED TO THE NEXT ALPHABET, IT BECOMES 6.

K IS THEN DECRYPTED AS

K = J - I - H - G - F - E

K IS DECRPYTED AS E

GOING FURTHER, THE NEXT WAS ENCRYPTED WITH AN ADDITIONAL SPACE EVEN MORE, SO, A IS DECRPYTED AS

A = Z - Y - X - W - V - U - T.

THUS, DKA IS DECRYPTED AS YET

What does AD equal? PICTURE INCLUDED* Triangle congruence and similarity.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

AD = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two triangles are similar by the SSS (side side side) postulate, the triangles share the same ratios when it comes to their sides.

We know the values for lines DB, EB and CB, therefore we can solve for AB, and subtract DB to find AD

We can solve the problem by solving for x:

\frac{x}{32} =\frac{21}{24}

Cross multiply.

24x = 672

Simplify.

x=28

Subtract the value of DB to find AD.

28-21=7

AD=7

Look at the figure. How can you prove ∆ABD and ∆ACD are congruent?
Levart [38]

Answer:

Options (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the congruence of the triangles ΔADB and ΔADC,

                Statements                             Reasons

1). AB ≅ AC                                   1). Given

2). AD ≅ AD                                 2). Reflexive property

3). ∠BAD ≅ ∠CAD                       3). Given

4). ΔABD ≅ ΔCAD                       4). SAS postulate

Therefore, Options (C) will be the correct option.
