Answer:

Bag 1: 20

Bag 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2

Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:

Bag 1: 50-3x

Bag 2: 50-x

Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:

50-3x = 1/2(50-x)

-> 50-3x = 25-x/2

Now lets isolate x and solve:

25 = 5x/2

-> 50 = 5x

-> x = 10

So plug x bag in for the original equations:

Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20

Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40

gradient or slope=<u>y2 -y1</u>

x2 - x1

so for A, p is x1 and 3 is y1..

For B, 6 is x2 and p is y2

2= <u>p - 3</u>

<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>6 - p

2 ( 6 - p) = p - 3

12 - 2p = p - 3

-2p + p = -3 - 12

-p = - 15

p = 15

Question: Find m HK...
Serhud [2]

Answer:

104degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, line LJ bisects KN, hence arcKL = arcHJ

Given

arHJ = 4x

arc KJ = x+39

Equating both

4x = x+39

4x - x = 39

3x = 39

x = 39/3

x = 13

Since arcHK = arcHJ + arcKJ

arcHK = x+39+4x

arcHK = 5x+39

arcHK = 5(13) + 39

arcHK = 65+39

arcHK = 104degrees

Hence the measure of arcHK is 104degrees
