First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2

Anyone know the answer?

AB = CB
Because they are congruent
Therefore CB = 5.9
Given perimeter = 17
CB+BE+ED+DC = 17
5.9 + BE + 2.8 + 5.6 = 17
BE + 14.3 = 17
BE = 17 - 14.3
= 2.7
Hope I helped

1. Four times a number minus twenty-one is the same as six times
Ganezh [65]

Answer: -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be y

Four times a number minus twenty-one can be written as:

(4 × y) - 21 = 4y - 21

Six times the number plus eleven can be written as:

(6 × y) + 11 = 6y + 11

Combining both equations will give:

4y - 21 = 6y + 11

4y - 6y = 11 + 21

-2y = 32

y = 32/-2

y = -16

The number is -16
