Answer:  The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Number of boys added: 18 </em>
  • <em>Ratio of boys to girls: 5:4 </em>

So, the total number of boys is:

x + 18  

Number of girls = y

Number of boys / number of girls = 5/4

(x+18) /y = 5/4

Solving for "y"

4 (x +18) =5 y

4x +72 = 5y

(4x +72) /5 = y

The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Show that (0, 0) is equidistant from (1, 2), (-1, -2) and (2, 1).​
Len [333]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if (0;0) if point A, (1;2) is point B; (-1;-2) is C, (2;1) is D, then

2) the vector AB is (1;2); vector AC is (-1;-2) and vector AD is (2;1), then

3) the length of AB, AC and AD are:

|AB|=\sqrt{1^2+2^2}=\sqrt{5};

|AC|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{5};

|AD|=\sqrt{2^2+1^2}=\sqrt{5}.

4) if the lengths above are equal, then it means that (0, 0) is equidistant from (1, 2), (-1, -2) and (2, 1).

Help me solve the problem! Please help
Sav [38]

Answer:

m+n=140

Step-by-step explanation:

So the angles in a triangle always add up to 180. We already know that the first angle in the triangle is 40 degrees because it's shown in the angle below the triangle. So we have 140 degrees left since 40 is taken up. That eans m+n=140
