Answer:

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly multiply each and every term by 9

17/9 - y/3 = -4/9

; 17 - 3y = -4...then move the variabkes without (y) to one side,

; 21 = 3y....then divide both sides by 3

; 7 = y

;Hence..., y = 7

Solid: A square pyramid. The square base has side lengths of 5. The 4 triangular sides have a base of 5 and height of 7. What is

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

95 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of pyramid = 4(side area) + base

Solve for the base first.

Area of base = s*s = 5*5 = 25

Next solve for one of the sides.

Area of triangle = 1/2 b*h = 1/2 5*7 = 17.5

Plug these back into our original equation.

Surface area of pyramid = 4(side area) + base

Surface area of pyramid = 4(17.5) + 25

Surface area of pyramid = 70 + 25 = 95 square units

As part of a drug trial, a survey was done to gather information about the participants' experiences with side effects. Here are

Paraphin [41]

The Venn diagram which represents the distribution of the participant in the drug trial is attached below. The Number of participants in the drug trial that has anxiety is 370

We can find the number of participants who has dizziness(D). Fatigue(F) and anxiety(A) can be calculated thus :

n(D) = n(D only) + (DnF only) + (DnA only) + (DnAnF)

271 = 36 + 86 + 23 + x

271 = 145 + x

x = 271 - 145

x = 126

n(DnAnF) = 126

Number who has atleast one of the three side effects can be expressed thus :

n(A only) + n(F only) + n(D only) + (DnF only) + (DnA only) + (DnAnF) + n(FnA only) = 585

36 + 23 + 62 + 86 + 126 + 93 + n(FnA) only = 585

n(FnA only) = 585 - 426 = 159

Number of participants who has anxiety can be calculated thus :

n(DnAnF) + (DnA only) + n(FnA only) + n(A only)

126 + 23 + 159 + 62 = 370 participants

Therefore, 370 of the total participants has Anxiety.

The sum of three numbers is 86. The third number is 4 times the first. The first number is 10 more than the second. What are the

Leona [35]

Answer:

The first number is 16

The second number is 6

The third number is 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The information from the word problem are;

The count of the numbers in the sum = 3 numbers

The value of the sum of the three numbers = 86

The value of the third number = 4 × The value of the first number

The value of the first number = 10 + The value of the second

Let 'x' represent the first number, let 'y' represent the second number and let 'z' represent the third number, we have;

x + y + z = 86...(1)

z = 4 × x...(2)

x = y + 10...(3)

From equation (3), we get;

x = y + 10

∴ y = x - 10...(4)

Substituting the value of z from equation (2) and the value of y from equation (4) in equation (1) gives;

x + y + z = 86

z = 4 × x = 4·x

y = x - 10

∴ x + y + z = x + (x - 10) + 4·x = 86

x + (x - 10) + 4·x = x + x - 10 + 4·x = 6·x - 10 = 86

6·x = 86 + 10 = 96

∴ x = 96/6 = 16

x = 16

From equation (2), we get;

z = 4 × x

∴ z = 4 × 16 = 64

z = 64

From equation (4), we get

y = x - 10

∴ y = 16 - 10 = 6

y = 6

Therefore; x = 16, y = 6, and z = 64

The numbers are 16, 6, and 64
