An eccentric baseball card collector wants to distribute her collection among her descendants. If she divided her cards among he

r 17 great-great-grandchildren, there would be 3 cards left over. If she divided her cards among her 16 great-grandchildren, there would be 10 cards left over. If she divided her cards among her 11 grandchildren, there would be 4 cards left over. If she divided her cards among her 7 children, there would be no cards left over.
What is the smallest possible number of cards in her collection?

If we let x as the total number of baseball cards
and yn be the quotient per operation, then

x/17 = y1 + 3

x/16 = y2 + 10

x/11 = y3 + 4

x/7 = y4

Based on Equation 1, x must be greater than 17
Based on Equation 4, x must be divisible by 7
y1, y2, and y3 must all be whole numbers
The smallest possible number of cards is 70

Find the side of a square whose diagonal measures 15 square root of 2
solmaris [256]

Answer:  15 units .

__________________________________________________

In this case, a square, the two sides of the square (forming a right triangle) are equal), and the "diagonal" forming is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

In these cases, the measurements of the angles of the right triangle are "45, 45, 90" ; and the measurements of the sides are:  "a, a, a√2" ; in which "a√2" is the hypotenuse.

We are given:  "15√2" is the hypotenuse" ; and we are given that this is a right triangle of a square with a diagonal length (i.e. "hypotenuse" of "15√2" ; so the measure of the side of the "square" (and other two sides of the triangle formed) is:  15 units.   (i.e.,  15, 15, 15√2 ).

If S is the midpoint of RT , RS=8x+11 and ST =14x-1 find x
garri49 [273]

Answer:

From the given, we establish this relationship:

RS + ST = RT

RS = ST since S is the midpoint of RT

Thus, let's use RS = ST to find x,

By substituting the given expressions:

RS = ST

8x + 11 = 14x - 1

12 = 6x

x = 12/6

thus,

x = 2
