84% is equivalent to 63 correct questions.

Divide both sides by 84% to normalize:

84%/84% = 63/84%
1 = 75

This means that 100% would be equivalent to 75 questions correct

From here, subtract 75-63=12

STEP 1:
Find total number of questions on the test. The percent (84%) is out of 100%. So set up a proportion. 84% out of 100% is 63 out of x (total number of questions on the test).

x= total # questions on test

63/x= 84%/100%
cross multiply
(63*100)= (x*84)
6300= 84x
divide both sides by 84
75= x (total # on test)

STEP 2:
Subtract number correct from total number of questions to equal number incorrect.

x= number incorrect on test

x= 75 - 63
x= 12 incorrect answers

ANSWER: 12 incorrect answers

Hope this helps! :)

Given: △DMN, DM=10 3 m∠M=75°, m∠N=45° Find: Perimeter of △DMN
OlgaM077 [116]

Angle D is 180° -75° -45° = 60°. Drawing altitude MX to segment DN divides the triangle into ΔMDX, a 30°-60°-90° triangle, and ΔMNX, a 45°-45°-90° triangle. We know the side ratios of such triangles (shortest-to-longest) are ...

... 30-60-90: 1 : √3 : 2

... 45-45-90: 1 : 1 : √2

The long side of ΔMDX is 10√3, so the other two sides are

... MX = MD(√3/2) = 15

... DX = MD(1/2) = 5√3

The short side of ΔMNX is MX = 15, so the other two sides are

... NX = MX(1) = 15

... MN = MX(√2) = 15√2

Then the perimeter of ΔDMN is ...

... P = DM + MN + NX + XD

... P = 10√3 +15√2 + 15 + 5√3

... P = 15√3 +15√2 +15 . . . . perimeter of ΔDMN

Which relationship is always true for the angles r, x, y, and z of triangle ABC?
mariarad [96]

That's the second one,


180 - x = r


Whenever two lines cross we get congruent opposite angles and supplemental adjacent angles, i.e. they add to 180 degrees.


The first one is almost right; we have r+y+z=180 and r+x=180 so x=y+z not quite what was written.
