Undersea explorers discover a second sentient race living on Earth. This species is scientifically much more advanced but cannot

share its discoveries because it uses a different system of units. Human scientists first try to convert between units of length: they measure a meter as 12 bap'ai and 2 bok'ai or alternatively 10 bap'ai and 10 bok'ai. In centimeters, how much distance is 5 bap'ai and 3 bok'ai?

Answer:

  46 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the length in cm of 1 bap'ai; let k represent the length in cm of 1 bok'ai. Then we have ...

  12p +2k = 100

  10p +10k = 100

Subtracting the second equation from 5 times the first, we get ...

  5(12p +2k) -(10p +10k) = 5(100) -(100)

  50p = 400

  p = 8 . . . . cm

Then the second equation tells us ...

  10(8) +10k = 100

  10k = 20

  k = 2 . . . . cm

Then 5p+3k = 5(8) +3(2) = 46 cm.

The distance 5 bap'ai and 3 bok'ai is 46 cm.

Write and solve an equation to find the value of x and a missing angle in the triangle below.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

x = 27°, ∠JLK = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram in the question above,

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite side

3x+13 = 39+(2x+1)

3x+13 = 40+2x

collect like terms and solve for x

3x-2x = 40-13

x = 27°.

∠JKL = 2x+1

Substitute the value of x

∠JKL = 2(27)+1

∠JKL = 54+1

∠JKL = 55°

4.5w = 5.1w - 30<br><br> Please help!!!
Lelu [443]
4.5w = 5.1w - 30

4.5w - 5.1w = -30

-0.6w =-30

Divide both sides by -0.6

-0.6w/-0.6 = -30/-0.6

<span>w = 50

HELP!! What is the equation of the graphed line?<br> (y=mx+b)
Anettt [7]
So to fine slope you would use the formula down below:

rise/run

So use a graphed point, 0, -5 and you rise or count up quadrants up to a point and then horizontally move to when you find that point.

So from 0,-5 go up 9 vertically, and you would be on the 4

Go horizontal 3 spots and your on a designated point.

So the rise is four and the run is 3

So 4/3 is the slope

In the y= Mx + b equation you would set the equation like this:

y= 4/3 + -5

The m in this formula stands for the slop and the b stands for the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the point that is on the y-axis and where it starts.
