Answer:

b = 33.546.

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b + c = 77     (1)

a - 5 = b + 5       (2)

a = 5c                 (3)

from equation 2:

a - b = 10

Adding this equation to equation 1:

2a + c = 87

But a = 5c so

10c + c = 87

c = 87/11 = 7.909

and a = 5*7.909 = 35.545.

b = 77 - 7.909 - 35.545

= 33.546

andrey2020 [161]
Hello, 

x= amount of flour that she poured in the canister

there was 5,026 grams of flour, and now: 5,026+x

In the bag there was 4,158, now: 4,158

I says that as a result the mass of the flour in the canister is twice the mass of the flour left in the bag, so:

5,026+x=2*(4,158-x) \\ 5,026+x=8,316-2x \\ 3x=8,316-5,026 \\ 3x=3,290 \\ x=1,096.67

So, she poured 1,096.67 grams, we subtract this from the initial amount in the bag and we have the answer:

4,158g-1,096.67=\boxed{3,061.33}

Answer: there is 3,061.33 grams of flour in the bag

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

m\overset{\frown} {PQ} = m\overset{\frown} {MN}... (given) \\\therefore Chord \:PQ \cong Chord\: MN\\  \therefore \: 4x + 10 = 38 \\   \therefore \: 4x= 38  - 10\\ \therefore \: 4x= 28\\  \therefore \: x=  \frac{28}{4} \\   \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: x= 7}}
