<h3>Answer: Choice B) x = 65, y = 10</h3>

====================================================

Work Shown:

The upper pair of angles 60 degrees and (2x-y) degrees are supplementary angles. This is because of the parallel lines. Note how they are same side interior angles. Therefore, (2x-y) and 60 combine to 180 degrees like so

(2x-y)+60 = 180

2x-y = 180-60 ... subtract 60 from both sides

2x-y = 120 ... call this equation 1

-------

Similarly, (2x+y) and 40 also combine to 180

(2x+y) + 40 = 180

2x+y = 180-40 ... subtract 40 from both sides

2x+y = 140 ... call this equation 2

------

Line up equation 1 and equation 2. Then add straight down

$\ \ \ 2x-y = 120\\+ 2x+y = 140\\\hrule\\\\\\ \ \ \ 4x+0y = 260\\\\$

That becomes 4x = 260 which solves to x = 65 when you divide both sides by 4.

------

If x = 65, then,

2x-y = 120

2(65)-y = 120

130 - y = 120

-y = 120-130

-y = -10

y = 10

2x+y = 140

2(65)+y = 140

130+y = 140

y = 140-130

y = 10

----------

Either way end up with x = 65 and y = 10

The mean weight 20 students in a room is 65 kg one student one student who weight is 88kg went into the room what is the new mea

umka2103 [35]

The new mean is 66.09

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mean weight of 20 students = 65kg

One student with 88kg entered the room.

New mean = ?

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0}{20} = 65$

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0 + 88}{21} = ?$

The above equation can further be written as:

$x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 65 X 20\\\\x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 1300$

New mean = $\frac{1300 + 88}{21}$

= 66.09

Therefore, the new mean is 66.09

The standard method is correct but it shows 53 instead of 5.3
so it is False. Hope it helps

10x^3 y^-5 z^-2 if x=3 y=2 and z=5 express your answer as a reduced fraction

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{27}{80}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x = 3, y = 2 and z = 5 to the given expression $10x^3y^{-5}z^{-2}$ :

$10(3^3)(2^{-5})(5^{-2})\qquad\text{use}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\=\dfrac{10(27)}{(2^5)(5^2)}=\dfrac{270}{(32)(25)}=\dfrac{270}{800}=\dfrac{27}{80}$

A television network is about to telecast a new television show. Before a show is launched, the network airs a pilot episode and

GalinKa [24]

Let's first denote:

F - a favorable response

F' - an unfavorable response

S - successful

We know that:

$P(F) = 0.6\\\\P(F')=0.4\\\\P(F\cap S)=0.5\\\\P(F'\cap S)=0.3$

So, from the conditional probability, we can calculate:

$P(S|F) = \dfrac{P(S\cap F)}{P(F)} = \dfrac{0.5}{0.6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\approx\boxed{0.83}$

A recipe for 8 servinfs of pudding clls for 2 cups of milk.How many gallons of milk are needed to make enough pudding for 64 ser

I am Lyosha [343]

In order to solve this, we first need to know what the ratio of servings of pudding to cups of milk is. We can see that 8 servings of pudding requires 2 cups of milk, so the ratio is 8/2, which can be reduced to 4/1. This means that for every 4 servings of pudding, we will be adding 1 cup of milk. So all we need to do to find out how many cups would be needed for 64 servings of pudding, we simply need to divide by 4.

64 / 4 = 16

So for 64 servings of pudding, we will need 16 cups of milk. But that's not what the question wants to know, it wants to know how many gallons of milk it would need.

In order to find that out, we have to know how many cups there are in one gallon. There are 2 cups in one pint, there are 2 pints in a quart, and there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so we just have to multiply those numbers, and we get 4 * 2 * 2 = 8 * 2 = 16

There are 16 cups in one gallon, therefore, 64 servings of pudding will require 1 gallon of milk.
Hope that helped! =)
