Answer:

Base of the original triangle is 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base of triangle be x  

two equal legs  of triangles by y

therefore perimeter of triangle

                       x+y+y = 50 or x+2y =50

according to the question

 if base is x+3 and leg is y-4

then both are equal

   that is x+3 = y-4

            y-x = 7 or y =x+7

   x+2y =50

   x+2(x+7) = 50

    x+2x +14 =50

     3x +14 =50

     3x = 50 -14

      3x = 36

      x = 12

therefore base of the original  triangle is 12 cm

5. If a = b, and b = c then a = c is the transitive property.

6. The converse is switching the order of the statement.

The answer would be If A <15, then a <10: true

7. You have RS + ST = RT

Using subtraction property  solve for RS by subtracting ST from both sides to get: RS = RT-ST

8. The addition property would be adding the same thing to both sides:

So. If p=q, then p+s = q+s

9. Vertical angles are the same:

6x-22 = 4x+2

Subtract 4x from both sides:

2x-22 = 2

Add 22 to both sides:

2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 12

Elliott has some yarn that she wants to use to make hats and scarves. Each hat uses 0.2, point, 2 kilograms of yarn and each sca
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Elliot will make 4 hats and 16 scarves

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hats and y be the number of scarves Elliot will make.

Elliott wants to make a total of 20 items, then

x + y = 20

Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn, so x hats use 0.2x kilograms of yarn and each scarf uses 0.1 kilogram of yarn, then y scarves use 0.1y kilograms of yarn. Elliott wants to use twice as much yarn for scarves as for hats, then

0.1y = 2(0.2x)

Thus,

0.1y = 0.4x

y = 4x

Substitute it into the first equation:

x + 4x = 20

5x = 20

x = 4

y = 20 - 4

y = 16

Hence, Elliot will make 4 hats and 16 scarves

Rewrite the expression so that the GCF is factored completely: 2x^3y+18xy-10x^2y-90y
Agata [3.3K]

2x^3y+18xy-10x^2y-90y

= 2xy(x^2 + 9)- 10y(x^2 + 9)

= (x^2 + 9)(2xy - 10y)

= (x^2 + 9) 2y(x - 5)

= 2y (x^2 + 9) (x - 5)
