I think it should also be 16 but I’m not pretty sure so hopefully you get it right !
Answer:
Kay made 8 phone calls
Stephanie made 13 phone calls
Explanation:
Assume the number of phone calls that Stephanie made is x.
We are given that:
Kay made 5 phone calls less than Stephanie.
This means that:
Kay made x-5 phone calls
We know that the total number of phones is 21.
This means that:
21 = x + x - 5
Now we solve for x as follows:
21 = x + x - 5
21 = 2x - 5
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13
This means that:
Stephanie made x = 13 phone calls
Kay made x - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8 phone calls
Hope this helps :)
2/3x + 6 = 1/2x + 1/4x ...multiply everything by 12
8x + 72 = 6x + 3x
8x + 72 = 9x
72 = 9x - 8x
72 = x
There are 3 right triangles.
Long leg short leg hypotenuse
Large ? ? 32+18 = 50 m
Medium 32 m x ?
Small x 18 m ?
Similar triangles: small & medium
short leg / long leg
x/32 = 18/x
x*x = 18 * 32
x² = 576
√x² = √576
x = 24
Long leg short leg hypotenuse
Large ? → 40 m ? 32+18 = 50 m
Medium 32 m 24 m ? → 40 m
Small 24 m 18 m ? → 30 m
solve hypotenuse of medium and small using Pythagorean theorem.
32² + 24² = c²
1024 + 576 = c²
1600 = c²
√1600 = √c²
40 = c
24² + 18² = c²
576 + 324 = c²
900 = c²
√900 = √c²
30 = c
Solve for the long leg of the large right triangle using ratio and proportion
medium and large: long leg / hypotenuse
32/40 = x/50
32*50 = 40 * x
1600 = 40x
1600/40 = x
40 = x
