The (small) challenge here is to determine what the LCD is. Since 11, 17 and 3 are all prime, we find the LCD by multiplying them together: 561.
Then 9/11= 459/561; 15/17 = 495/561; and 2/3 = 375/561.
Answer:
x = 90°
y = 40°
z = 40°
Explanation (Concepts) :
A straight line has total 180° angle. A square has 4 sides of each 90° angle. A triangle is build up of 180° interior angle.
Workouts:
z + 90° + 50° = 180°
z = 180° - 90° - 50°
z = 40°
=================
x + 90° = 180°
x = 180° - 90°
x = 90°
==================
50° + 90° + y = 180°
y = 180° - 90° - 50°
y = 40°
If the price of an object drastically dropped 75%, then the dropped price is equal to 25% of the original price. That means that to find the original price, we have to multiply by the reciprocal of 25% (4). The original price would be $85.99 * 4 which is $343.96.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.
===========
This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
Answer:
495 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
When you do the subtraction, whatever is left (the decimal part) is the length in cm when multiplied by 100.
Solution
Remaining rope = starting length - what was used.
Remaining rope = 6.15 - 1.2
Remaining rope = 4.95 meters
Answer
The remaining rope = 4.95 * 100 = 495 cm
