Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What we have is a general equation that says this in words:
Laura's hours + Doug's hours = 250 total hours
Since we don't know either person's number of hours, AND since we can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, we need to write Laura's hours in terms of Doug's, or Doug's hours in terms of Laura's. We are told that Doug spent Laura's hours plus another 40 in the lab, so let's call Laura's hours "x". That makes Doug's hours "x + 40". Now we can write our general equation in terms of x:
x + x + 40 = 250 and
2x = 210 so
x = 105
Since Laura is x, she worked 105 hours in the lab and Doug worked 40 hours beyond what Laura worked. Doug worked 145. As long as those 2 numbers add up to 250, we did the job correctly. 105 + 145 = 250? I believe it does!!
Answer:
23.14
Step-by-step explanation:
= 20.59 x (12.4/100)
= 2.55316
= 2.55316 + 20.59
= 23.14316
= 23.14
I hope this helps.
Answer:
1. A = 40 units²
2. A = 72 units²
3. B) 45
Step-by-step explanation:
1. This shape comprises 4 congruent triangles with base of 5 units and height of 5 units.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Therefore, area of polygon = 4(1/2 x 5 x 4)
= 40 units²
2. This shape comprises two pairs of congruent triangles.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Therefore, area of polygon = 2(1/2 x 2 x 6) + 2(1/2 x 10 x 6)
= 72 units²
3. Count the number of shaded squares:
9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45 units²
Just do pythagorean theorem. The answer is the square root of 75
Well, solve for x.
Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation
The 4x's will cross out on the right
4x - 4x = 0x = 0
On the left:
2x - 4x = -2x
Now the equation looks like:
-2x + 3 = 2
Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
3 - 3 = 0
On the right:
2 - 3 = -1
Equation:
-2x = -1
Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
-2x ÷ -2 = 1
On the right:
-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2
x= 1/2
So, there is only one solution: 1/2
