Answer:

  be the second player, and always leave a multiple of 3 balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to win, a player must force the other player to leave one or two balloons. To do that, the winning player must leave one more balloon than the maximum number that can be popped. That is, the winner will be the player who leaves 3 balloons,

Working backward, we find that the winner must leave a multiple of 3 after each turn. Since the starting number is a multiple of 3, the first player must lose if the second player plays optimally.

The winning strategy is ...

  • be the second player
  • always leave a multiple of 3 balloons.

1200+0.075x>=3300 what is the solution to the inequality
miskamm [114]
Solving inequalities is just like solving any other Algebraic problem...look to P.E.M.D.A.S. (Parenthesis, Exponents, Division, Addition, Subtraction). So lets take a look at this problem now.

1200 + 0.075x\geq3300


Subtract 1200 from both sides...
0.075x\geq2100

Now divide by 0.075...
x\geq28000


NOTE: If you divide or multiple by a negative number while solving inequalities, you must flip the sign. Ex: You answer would be x\leq28000 if you would've multiplied or divided by a negative.

I can’t figure out what the half circle means the answer options are 163,129,149 and 186
vodka [1.7K]

Answer: 129

Step-by-step explanation: First find the area of the circle. Since we know the area of a circle is πr²  (pi multiplied by the radius squared) we can find the area of the half circle. The radius is 5 (because radius is half of the diameter)

Area=3.14(5)²

       =3.14(25)

       =78.5

But since this is just a half circle, divide this by 2

That will get 39.25

Then add this to the area of the rectangle (L*W) which is 90

That will get about 129
