Rileys parents got a cell phone plan that has a $40 monthly fee for the first phone. For each extra phone, there is a $15 phone

Solnce55 [7]

Okay. So when it comes to combining like terms, they should have the same variable and power. They dont have to be the exact same number, but they should at least have the same terms. In the expression 40 + 15e + 10e, 15e and 10e both have like terms, because they have the same variable. 15e + 10e is 25e. 40 has no like term, so that is left alone. The expression simplified is 40 + 25e.

How do I find the measure of angle 1 and 2

Dvinal [7]

Angle 1 is a vertical angle in relation to the given angle, 117°, so it has the same measure.

Angle 2 is a corresponding angle to angle 1 where the transversal crosses parallel lines, so it has the same measure. (It is also an alternate exterior angle with respect to 117°, so has the same measure.)

∠1 = ∠2 = 117°

If the geometric mean of a and 15 is 9√15, find the value of a.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer: a = 81

Explanation:

Geometric mean: sqrt a • b

sqrt a • 15 = 9 sqrt 15
Sqrt 15a = 9 sqrt 15
(Sqrt 15a)^2 = (9 sqrt 15)^2
15a = 81 x 15
a = 81

One side of triangle twice the length of the shortest side and the 3rd side 14 more feet than length of shortest side, find dime

kifflom [539]

Let's say the sides are "a" first one, "b" second one and "c" the third one

ok, let's say the shortest is "a"
and let's say "b" is -> " twice the length of the shortest side"
so b = 2a

and let's say "c" is -> "3rd side 14 more feet than length of shortest side"
so c = a + 14

we know the perimeter ( sum of all sides ) is 154

 $\bf \begin{array}{llll}
a&b&c\\
&\downarrow&\downarrow \\
&2a&a+14\\
\downarrow &\downarrow &\downarrow \\
\end{array}\\
\ a+b+\ c=154\\\\
a+(2a)+(a+14)=154$

solve for "a"
