Answer:

The number would be 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for the number, we need to make both statements into numerical statements.

Fifteen more than four times a number = 15 + 4x

difference between 191 and four times the number = 191 - 4x

Now we set them equal to each other.

15 + 4x = 191 - 4x -----> Add 4x to each side

15 + 8x = 191 ------> Subtract 15 from both sides

8x = 176 -------> Divide by 8

x = 22

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The response of this would be to say that those people without daytime jobs that are outside the home, are more likely to be home and thus, have more time on their hands to attempt to bake. So basically, the quoted 56% is definitely going to be higher than the population percentage.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

guess and check

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equation systems usually have two or more variables to find.

The values for these variables can be found by different methods, some of them are indeed graphing, substitution and with matrices.

So these are correct options that are used to solve linear systems of equations.

On the other hand, the guess and check method is not used to find the solution of these systems, since the more variables the system has the more difficult it is to guess the answer, the graphic and mathematical methods are more effective and reliable.

Determine if the statement is true or false The figures below are similar

artcher [175]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygons given have 5 sides, so the sum of their interior angles is (5-2) * 180 = 540. Next, there are 4 pairs of corresponding sides. Writing those sides as a, b, c, and d, for each pentagon, we can write

540 = a + b + c + d + missing angle

As is shown here, if a, b, c, and d are the same, 540 - (a+b+c+d) = missing angle is the same as well. Therefore, there are 5 corresponding angle pairs for the two polygons. Furthermore, because there are only 5 angles for each polygon, and because having all corresponding angles be equal makes polygons similar to each other, the polygons given are similar
