X = 5/3 and m∠SPY = 8 1/3°.
Since PQ bisects the angle, the two angles formed by the bisector are equal:
11/2x - 5 = 4x - 5/2
We will first multiply everything by 2 to eliminate the fractions:
(11/2x)*2 - 5*2 = 4x*2 - (5/2)*2
11x - 10 = 8x - 5
Subtract 8x from each side:
11x - 10 - 8x = 8x - 5 - 8x
3x - 10 = -5
Add 10 to both sides:
3x - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10
3x = 5
Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 5/3
x = 5/3
Now we will plug this in for x in both smaller angles and add them together to find the measure of ∠SPY:
11/2(5/3) - 5 + 4(5/3) - 5/2
55/6 - 5 + 20/3 - 5/2
We will rewrite everything using a denominator of 6:
55/6 - 30/6 + 40/6 - 15/6 = (55-30+40-15)/6 = 50/6 = 8 2/6 = 8 1/3°
Answer:
x = - 4 y = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y= - 8
-9x-6y=60
First, solve for x in the first equation:
x+y = - 8 Subtract y from both sides
x + y - y = -8 - y y cancels on the left
x = - 8 - y
Now plug in what you found for x into the 2nd equation and solve for y.
- 9x - 6y = 60
-9(- 8 - y) - 6y = 60 Multiply out
72 + 9y - 6y = 60
72 + 3y = 60 Subtract 72 from both sides
72 - 72 + 3y = 60 - 72 72 cancels on the left
3y = - 12 Divie both sides by 3
3y/3 = -12/3 3 cancels on the left because 3/3 = 1
y = -4
Now plug your answer for y back into the first equation to get x.
x + y = -8
x + (-4) = - 8 Add 4 to each side
x - 4 + 4 = - 8 + 4 4 cancels on the left
x = -4
x = - 4 and y = - 4
(a) 34 copies
4520 = 1800 + 80c
2720 = 80c
34 = c
(b) $3,720
P = 1800 + 80(24)
P = 1800 + 1920
P = 3720
Let me know if you have questions about this
The answer is 3 1/2 divided by 1 1/2 because those equal 7.
