Answer:
x = 30
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Please note: the value for x is correct only if this triangle is a right triangle.
This can be solved because 2(5y) = 20 and because if a triangle has all congruent angles then its side lengths are also congruent.
5,000
is 300 closer to 100 or 1000?
or
is 3 closer to 1 or 10?
The answer is a. Because when word phrases say “a number”, they are referring to the variable. For instance, x is the variable so x is “a number”.
If you want to translate the phrase 30 added to a number that is decreased by 5 into a math expression, you can do it like this:
a number ... n
30 added ... + 30
decreased by 5 ... - 5
Now you just have to put this together: n + 30 - 5 or n - 5 + 30. So, the correct result is a.
