5 less than the number is x - 5
The reciprocal is 1/(x - 5)

This number is 1/(x - 5) = 4(1/(2x)) Cross multiply.
2x = 4*(x - 5) Remove the brackets.
2x = 4x - 20 Subtract 2x from both sides
0 = 4x - 2x - 20
0 = 2x - 20 Add 20 to both sides
20 = 2x Divide by 2
20/2 = x
10 = x

If ∠C and ∠D are vertical angles and m ∠ C = x + 5 and m ∠ D = –2x + 80, what is m ∠ C?
amm1812

Answer:

m∠C=30°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>Vertical Angles</u> are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross. They are always equal

so

m∠C=m∠D

substitute the given values

(x+5)\°=(-2x+80)\°

Solve for x

x+2x=80-5\\3x=75\\x=25

<em>Find the measure of angle C</em>

m∠C=(x+5)°

substitute the value of x

m∠C=(25+5)=30°

A bus travels from Station A to Station B, and a truck travels from Station B to Station A on the same road. The speed of the bu
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The distance between the two train stations is 1728 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the bus = 54 km/h

The speed of the truck = 48 km/h

When the bus and truck meet again, the distance covered by the bus = 216 km more than he distance traveled by the truck

Let the distance between the two train stations = x

Let the location where they first meet be y from station A we have;

The location where they meet again = y - 216 km

Therefore, we have;

Location where they

The time for the truck and the bus to meet again = t

Therefore, 54 × t - 48 × t = 216 km

6·t = 216 km

t = 36 hours

Therefore, the time for the bus to travel x + 216 km = 36 hours

54 × 36 = 1944 = x + 216

x = 1944 - 216 = 1728 km

The distance between the two train stations = 1728 km.
