Answer:

Twenty-seven and a half million metric tons of apples are eaten fresh.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of metric tons of apples that are eaten fresh is equal to the half of the total amount of metric tons. That is:

$m = \frac{55,000,000\,m-ton}{2}$

$m = 27,500,000\,m-ton$

Twenty-seven and a half million metric tons of apples are eaten fresh.

System of Equations <br> Need help<br> Trig

Looks like the system is

$\begin{cases}-2x+y+6z=1\\3x+2y+5z=16\\7x+3y-4z=11\end{cases}$

We can eliminate $y$ by taking

$(3x+2y+5z)-2(-2x+y+6z)=16-2(1)$

$\implies3x+2y+5z+4x-2y-12z=16-2$

$\implies7x-7z=14$

$\implies x-z=2$

so that $z=x-2$ , and

$(7x+3y-4z)-3(-2x+y+6z)=11-3(1)$

$\implies7x+3y-4z+6x-3y-18z=11-3$

$\implies13x-22z=8$

Substitute $z=x-2$ into this last equation and solve for $x$ :

$13x-22(x-2)=8$

$\implies13x-22x+44=8$

$\implies-9x=-36$

$\implies x=4$

Then

$z=x-2$

$\implies z=4-2$

$\implies z=2$

Plug these values into any one of the original equation to solve for $y$ :

$-2x+y+6z=1$

$\implies-2(4)+y+6(2)=1$

$\implies-8+y+12=1$

$\implies y=-3$

Hence the solution is x = 4, y = -3, and z = 2.

How do I find the missing value

liberstina [14]

Okay. Since the "y" value and 82* are on the same straight line, their values will always add up to make a sum of 180. So if you subtract 82 from 180 you get 98*. So your "y" value is equal to 98*.

Now, all of the degree values added together should give you a sum of 360, so now we must add the values we know, in order to find the "x" value. So, 112*+82*+98*=292. Now we know that the difference of 360 and 292 will give us the x value. So finally, 360-292=68. So your "x" value is equal to 68.

y=98
x=68
