Answer:

c. 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call B the quantity of voters who voted yes for both propositions.

From the question we know that twice as many voters voted "yes" for R as for S, that can be written as the following equation:

R+B=2(S+B)

Where R is the number who voted "yes" for R but "no2 for S and S is the number who voted "yes" for S but "no" for R.

Replacing R by 750 and S by 310 and solving for B, we get:

750+B=2(310+B)

750+B=620+2B

2B-B=750-620

B=130

So, 130 voters voted yes for both propositions

A helicopter flying at an altitude of 600 ft dropped a package to a lifeboat. Use the formula t= - to find how many
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

6.1 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

A helicopter flying at an altitude of 600 ft dropped a package to a lifeboat. Use the formula t= √h/4 to find how many  seconds it takes for the package to reach the lifeboat. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second

we have

t= \frac{\sqrt{h}}{4}

substitute the value of h in the formula

h=600\ ft

t= \frac{\sqrt{600}}{4}=6.1\ sec

6) If the perimeter of the equilateral triangle ABC is x inches. The mid points of the sides are joined to form the smaller tria
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

96 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the midpoints of the sides are joined to form the smaller triangle, then the perimeter of the smaller triangle is half the perimeter of the greater triangle, because the sides of the smaller triangle are midlines of the greater triangle. By the triangle's midline theorem, each triangle's midline is half the side to which this midline is parallel.

So, if the perimeter of 6th triangle is 3 inches, then the perimeter of 5th triangle is 6 inches, the perimeter of 4th triangle is 12 inches, the perimeter of 3rd triangle is 24 in, the perimeter of 2nd triangle is 48 in and the perimeter of the initial triangle is 96 in

Solve for x and then part b) find JL. Have no clue how to go about this
Igoryamba

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • x = 4
  • JL = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You go about this by using the given equation.

  Left + Right = Total

  JK + KL = JL

  (2x -3) + 11 = 4x

  8 = 2x . . . . . simplify, subtract 2x

  4 = x . . . . . . divide by 2

__

b) JL = 4x = 4·4

  JL = 16
