<h3>Answer:</h3>

B) 10 pounds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the amount of 70¢ candy to be added. The value of the mixture can be written as ...

... 90×30 + 70x = 85×(30+x) . . . . . where 30+x is the total weight of the mix

... 2700 +70x = 2550 +85x

... 150 = 15x . . . . . . add -70x-2550

... 10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

10 pounds of candy at 70¢/lb must be added.

What is 4,321,109,432 rounded to the nearest ten million
SOVA2 [1]
To round to the nearest ten million, you look at the millions digit. In this case, the millions digit is 1, which is less than 5, so you round the number down to 4,320,000,000.

<h2>Answer and Explanation to questions 13,14,15</h2>

13) \mathbf{\overline{XY}\cong\overline{CD}}        as given in the question.

14) \mathbf{\overline{XY}\cong\overline{YZ}}          Since Y is the midpoint of XZ. So, Y will divide XZ in equal halves into XY and YZ.

15) \mathbf{\overline{CD}\cong\overline{YZ}}

\because\overline{\textrm{XY}}\cong\overline{\textrm{CD}} and \overline{\textrm{XY}}\cong\overline{\textrm{YZ}} . So, \overline{\textrm{CD}}\cong\overline{\textrm{YZ}}

<h2>Answer and Explanation to questions 16,17,18</h2>

∠3 is supplementary to ∠1 means: ∠3 + ∠1 = 180°

And, according to figure ∠1 + ∠2 = 180° as ∠1 and ∠2 form a straight line.

∠3 + ∠1 = 180°    .............(i)

∠1 + ∠2 = 180°    .............(ii)

subtracting equation (i) and (ii) will give ∠3 = ∠2   ..........(iii)

15) ∠3 is supplementary to ∠1                        as given in the question

16) ∠2 is supplementary to ∠1                        as shown be equation (ii)

18) ∠3 ≅ ∠2                                                      as shown by equation (iii)

<h2>Answer and Explanation to questions 19</h2>

∠3 and ∠4 form a straight line. Therefore, ∠3 + ∠4 = 180°   .......(i)

∠4 and ∠5 form a straight line. Therefore, ∠4 + ∠5 = 180°   .......(ii)

subtracting equation (i) and (ii)

∠3 + ∠4 - (∠4 + ∠5) = 180°-(180°)

∠3 + ∠4 - ∠4 - ∠5 = 180°-180°

∠3 - ∠5 = 0

∴ ∠3 = ∠5     (Hence Proved)

Is the relationship between the amount of gas and pressure direct or indirect? Explain your answer
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

INDIRECT!

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A law that says that if the temperature is constant then  the volume of a fixed amount of a gas is <u>inversely proportional</u> to its pressure.If the pressure on a gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are getting closer together.
