Answers:
x = 100
y = 25
==============================================================
Explanation:
Angle y and the 25 degree angle are corresponding angle. Because the lines are parallel, this means that y = 25
Check out the attached image. Using a red pen, I extended one of the lines to form a triangle. From the alternate interior angle theorem, we know that one of the angles of the triangle is 75 degrees (alternate interior angles are congruent). Again this stems from the fact that the lines are parallel.
I've also introduced the variable z to help find x. The angles x and z add up to 180 degrees since they form a straight line. So we need to find z before we can find x.
The triangle's angles 25, 75, z add up to 180. Let's solve for z
25+75+z = 180
100+z = 180
z = 180-100
z = 80
Use this to find x
x+z = 180
x+80 = 180
x = 180-80
x = 100
<u>Answer:</u>
333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
<u>Solution:</u>
We have been given that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner.
There are 500 voters in Ward 5.
Since 2/3 of all voters in Ward 5 are voting for Spike Jones the remaining 1/3 will not be voting for him.
To find out how many people in ward 5 are exactly voting for Spike Jones. We need to calculate how much is two thirds of 500 is.
This is done as follows:
Since people cannot be denoted in decimal points we have to round it off to a whole number. That’s is 333.
Therefore 333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
