Ming had some candy to give to her five children. She first took three pieces for herself and then evenly divided the rest among

her children. Each child received four pieces. With how many pieces did she start? You write the following equation to express this situation: c-3/5=4 What does the expression "c-3" represent in this situation?

C-3/5=4

c-3/5*5=4*5 (We do this to get ride 5 so we can simplify to just 3)

c-3=20
  +3 +3
c=17

Which of the following is the measurement of DQRS
Elis [28]
A rectangle is a quadrilateral that has two sets of parallel sides. Each side of the rectangle forms a 90 degrees with the other side. If diagonals are drawn, the lines will divide the angle into two having an angle 90 degrees. Therefore, 90 degrees is the answer hope its help you

In triangle ABC, the size of angle B is 5 times the size of angle A, and the size of angle C is 7 less than 4 times the size of
kipiarov [429]
It sounds like everything is being described in reference to angle A, so a good starting point is to pick a variable to represent the measure of angle A. I'm going to use "a" for that.

Next, I'm going to take the verbal descriptions in the problem and "translate" them into "math language". They say angle B is 5 times angle A, so that means the measure of angle B is actually 5a. The size of angle C is 5 degrees less than 4 times the size of A, so that translates to 4a-5.

We now know the following:

Angle A: a
Angle B: 5a
Angle C: 4a-5

Now, to find the value of a, we need to remember that all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So we have: a+5a+4a-5 = 180

We can solve that equation by combining like terms to get: 10a-5=180

We can add 5 to both sides: 10a =185

And divide by 10: a = 18.5

That tells us the measure of angle A! (It's 18.5 degrees). Now we can go back and find B by multiplying A by 5. We get 92.5 degrees for that.

Finally, we can find C by taking 4*18.5-5. We get 69 degrees for that.

One last thing-- let's check that they really do add up to 180! 69+92.5+18.5 = 180. Yep!

Hope that helps you!!

On the radio one morning, a weather reporter stated that the tempature was two degrees below zero, but the tempature would cotin
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

T ≥ -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Temperature = 2° below 0°

Required

Represent as an inequality

First, we need to calculate the temperature in the morning.

2° below 0 means.

Temperature = 0° - 2°

Temperature = -2°

Next, we determine the temperature at any time.

The question says the temperature continues to rise during the day.

Represent this with T

This means T will be greater than -2°

However, we need to consider where the temperature started from.

In other words, T = -2

Combine T = -2 and T = -2 together, we have:.

T ≥ -2

Hence, the inequality that represents the scenario is T ≥ -2
