Do the phrases 6 less a number y and 6 less than a number y mean the same thing? Explain. A. No, they do not both mean the same

thing. 6 less a number y can be represented by the expression 6 - y. 6 less than a number y can be represented by the expression y - 6. B. Yes, they both mean the same thing. They can also both be represented by the expression y - 6.

Answer:

B. Yes, they both mean the same thing. They can also both be represented by the expression y - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Phrase 1: 6 less a number y

Phrase 2: 6 less than a number y

<em>Mathematically,</em>

Phrase 1 can be represented as follows;

$y - 6$

<em>Mathematically,</em>

Phrase 2 can be represented as follows;

$y - 6$

<em>Since the representation of both phrases are the same, then option B answers the question.</em>

write and solve a real- world problem involving the multiplication of a fraction and a whole number whose product is between 10

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Real word Problem:- Jean is working in a pizza shop. She has 60 kg of flour. She has used one-fifth of it for making pizzas. How much flour she used for making pizzas?

Solution:- Quantity of flour she has= 60 kg

The quantity she used in making pizzas= $\frac{1}{5}\ of\ 60$

$=\frac{1}{5}\times60=12\ kg$

hence, she used 12 kg of flour for making pizzas.

Here the multiplication of a fraction and a whole number $=\frac{1}{5}\times60$ and its answer is between 10 and 15, since 10<12<15.

Given: PRST is a square

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$(1-\sqrt{2})a^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider irght triangle PRS. By the Pythagorean theorem,

$PS^2=PR^2+RS^2\\ \\PS^2=a^2+a^2\\ \\PS^2=2a^2\\ \\PS=\sqrt{2}a$

Thus,

$MS=PS-PM=\sqrt{2}a-a=(\sqrt{2}-1)a$

Consider isosceles triangle MSC. In this triangle

$MS=MC=(\sqrt{2}-1)a.$

The area of this triangle is

$A_{MSC}=\dfrac{1}{2}MS\cdot MC=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot (\sqrt{2}-1)a\cdot (\sqrt{2}-1)a=\dfrac{(\sqrt{2}-1)^2a^2}{2}=\dfrac{(3-2\sqrt{2})a^2}{2}$

Consider right triangle PTS. The area of this triangle is

$A_{PTS}=\dfrac{1}{2}PT\cdot TS=\dfrac{1}{2}a\cdot a=\dfrac{a^2}{2}$

The area of the quadrilateral PMCT is the difference in area of triangles PTS and MSC:

$A_{PMCT}=\dfrac{(3-2\sqrt{2})a^2}{2}-\dfrac{a^2}{2}=\dfrac{(2-2\sqrt{2})a^2}{2}=(1-\sqrt{2})a^2$

Verify the identity. 4 csc 2x = 2 csc2x tan x

vlada-n [284]

Step-by-step explanation:

$4csc(2x) = 2csc^2(x) tan(x)$

We start with Left hand side

We know that csc(x) = 1/ sin(x)

So csc(2x) is replaced by 1/sin(2x)

$4 \frac{1}{sin(2x)}$

Also we use identity

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

$4 \frac{1}{2sin(x)cos(x)}$

4 divide by 2 is 2

Now we multiply top and bottom by sin(x) because we need tan(x) in our answer

$2\frac{1*sin(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)*sin(x)}$

$2\frac{sin(x)}{sin^2(x)cos(x)}$

$2\frac{1}{sin^2(x)} \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

We know that sinx/ cosx = tan(x)

Also 1/ sin(x)= csc(x)

so it becomes 2csc^2(x) tan(x) , Right hand side

Hence verified

Algebra applications: find the value of x and y

Inga [223]

Answer : The value of x and y is 8 and 10 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we known that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line then consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

From the given figure we conclude that:

$5x-y+150=180$ ...........(1)

$5x-y=180-150$

$5x-y=30$ ............(2)

$5x+y+130=180$ ...........(3)

$5x+y=180-130$

$5x+y=50$ ...........(4)

Now we adding equation 2 and 4, we get the value of x.

$5x-y+5x+y=30+50$

$10x=80$

$x=8$

Now we are putting the value of x in 4, we get the value of y.

$5x+y=50$

$5(8)+y=50$

$y=50-40$

$y=10$

Therefore, the value of x and y is 8 and 10 respectively.
