The percent increase in the employment from the year $2000$ to year $2010$ is $15.07\%$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

16 inches

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a conversion and fill in the empty spaces

The scale is 1 foot is 1/8 inch

To convert from inch to foot, we multiply by 8

Thus, we have ;

Let’s fill in the left spaces first;

6.25 * 8 = 50 feet

postnew [5]

Answer:

The numbers are 20 and 140

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

Find 2 numbers knowing that the second number is 7 times greater than the first, and the sum between the double of the first number and the triple of the second is 460

Define the variables

Let

x ----> the first number

y ----> the second number

we know that

$y=7x$ -----> equation A

$2x+3y=460$ ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation A in equation B

$2x+3(7x)=460$

solve for x

$2x+21x=460$

$23x=460$

$x=20$

Find the value of y

$y=7x$ ----> $y=7(20)=140$

The numbers are 20 and 140

Someone please help me make a proof for the bottom question

Lerok [7]

Answer:

DB = CA (Proved)

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1.

∠D = ∠C, M is the midpoint of DC and ∠1 = ∠2

Reason 1.

Given

Statement 2.

Between Δ DBM and Δ CAM,

(i) DM = CM,

(ii) ∠D = ∠C and

(iii) ∠DMB = ∠CMA

Reason 2.

(i) given

(ii) given and

(iii) ∠ DMB = ∠1 + ∠AMB and ∠CMA = ∠2 + ∠AMB

Since ∠1 = ∠2, so, ∠DMB = ∠CMA.

Statement 3.

Δ DBM ≅ Δ CAM

Reason 3.

By angle-side-angle rule.

Statement 4.

DB = CA

Reason 4.

Corresponding sides of two congruent triangles. (Answer)
