X = short section of rope
4x = longer section of rope

x + 4x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5

…or in other words the shorter piece of rope is 5 feet long

34. Lora is thinking of a number. It is less than 50 It is a 2-digit number. 3 is a factor of this number. The sum of its digits
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is between 10 and 49

The number is divisible by 3

Let the 10s digit = x

Let the units digit = y

1/3 * (10x + y)  = x + y          multiply both sides by 3

10x + y = 3(x +y)                  remove the brackets.

10x +y = 3x + 3y                  Subtract 3x from both sides

10x - 3x + y = 3y                  Combine\

7x + y = 3y                           Subtract y from both sides.

7x = 3y - y                           Combine

7x = 2y

x can't be very big. Even taking 1/3 will get out of range is you use 6.

Also x should be an even number. The units digit cannot have a fraction in it.

Try making x = 2

7*2 = 2*y

14 = 2y                                Divide by 2

14/2 = y

y = 7

So the number is possibly 27. Let's check it out.

  • The number is between and includes 10 and 49. 27 is between these two endpoints.
  • 27 is divisible by 3
  • 1/3(27) = sum of digits
  • 9 = (2 + 7)

All of the conditions are met. It's B

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle  BCA is inscribed in that circle.  The rule is that the inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts.  The arc it intercepts is arc AB which measures 96 degrees.  That means that

4x+4=\frac{1}{2}(96) and

4x + 4 = 48 and

4x = 44 so

x = 11

Choice A is the one you want.
