Answer:

150 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call the total amount of people at the talent show x. Since 3/6=1/2, we know that half the people are girls, 1/3 are boys. If we added 1/2 and 1/3 we get 5/6, 1-5/6=1/6, so now we know that 1/6 of the people are adults. Because it says "If there were 50 more girls than adults" so from that we can see that 1/2x =1/6x+50. If we were to simplify the equation, we 1/3x=50, so x=150

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

x= 16

y= -13

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=3

x-3y=-29

Eliminate x and subtract the equations

2y=-26

y= -13

Plug in y for first or second equation

x=16

Find the value of x and the value of y.
fomenos

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

x is bisecting the baseline (cutting it in 2 halves of 6).

the third angle in the main overall triangle is 60 degrees.

remember, all angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

so, 180 - 60 - 60 = 60.

that means that all 3 angles are of equal size (60). and that means that all 3 sides must have the same length.

=> y = 12

and now using Pythagoras to calculate the height (x) of the triangle :

y² = x² + 6² (remember, this side is only half the baseline)

12² = x² + 6²

144 = x² + 36

x² = 108

x = sqrt(108) = sqrt(36×3) = 6×sqrt(3)

Solve for x and show work
atroni [7]

Answer:

x = 100 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We the the External Angle of a Triangle theorem:

The external angle = the sum of the 2 opposite internal angles.

x = 61 + 39

x = 100 degrees.
