Answer:

x = 26

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 17)° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles in a straight line)

Solve for x

5x - 17 + 3x - 11 = 180

Collect like terms

5x + 3x - 17 - 11 = 180

8x - 28 = 180

Add 28 to both sides

8x = 180 + 28

8x = 208

Divide both sides by 8

x = 208/8

x = 26

Also:

(2y + 5)° + 90° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles on a straight line)

Plug in the value of x and solve for y

2y + 5 + 90 + 3(26) - 11 = 180

2y + 5 + 90 + 78 - 11 = 180

Collect like terms

2y + 162 = 180

Subtract 162 from both sides

2y = 180 - 162

2y = 18

y = 9 (dividing both sides by 2)

There are 125 students in sixth grade. 2/3 of the sixth graders ride the bus. How many sixth graders ride the bus?

Luden [163]

125 ÷ 3 = 41.6666666667

41.66666666667 X 2
= 83.3333......
Technically not correct, because you cannot split sixth graders into pieces, so you would probably round it to 84 students.

Look at this prism and its net. Rectangular prism with length labeled 5 meters, width labeled 7 meters, and height labeled 12 me

kaheart [24]

There will be three pairs of matching sides: one pair 5x7, one pair 5x12 and one pair 12x7. We can compute the are of each side (in pairs) and then add up the total:

$A_{surf}=2\times(l \times w)+2\times(l \times h)+2\times(h \times w)$
$A_{surf}=2\times(5\times7)+2\times(5\times12)+2\times(12\times7)$
$A_{surf}=2\times35+2\times60+2\times84$
$A_{surf}=70+120+168$
$A_{surf}=358$
$A_{surf}=358m^{2}$

You buy milk that contains 180 calories per 2 cups. Use a ratio table to find the number of calories in 5.5 cups.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The number of calories in 5.5 cups are 495.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

You buy milk that contains 180 calories per 2 cups.

Now, to find the number of calories in 5.5 cups.

Let the number of calories in 5.5 cups be $x.$

As, in 2 cups there are 180 calories.

2 cups is equivalent to 180 calories.

Thus, the ratio would be $2:180.$

So, in 5.5 cups there are $x$ calories.

5.5 cups is equivalent to $x$ calories.

Thus, the ratio would be $5.5:x.$

Now, we set proportion to get the number of calories in 5.5 cups:

$2:180::5.5:x$

$\frac{2}{180} =\frac{5.5}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$2x=990$

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

$x=495$ .

Therefore, the number of calories in 5.5 cups are 495.

Solve for a: a(a-3) =100

marissa [1.9K]

$a(a-3) =100\\
a^2-3a-100=0\\
\Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-100)=9+400=409\\
\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqr{409}\\
a_1=\dfrac{-(-3)-\sqrt{409}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{409}}{2}\\
a_2=\dfrac{-(-3)+\sqrt{409}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{409}}{2}$
