Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ACE and ∠ECB form a straight angle whose sum = 180°, hence
2x + 2 + 5x + 3 = 180
7x + 5 = 180 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
7x = 175 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 25 → C
Answer:
should definitely be 28.56
Answer:
m = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 0.8 m to both sides, obtaining 0.8m + 0.8m - 4, or 1.6m - 4 = 0.
Now add 4 to both sides. Result: 1.6m = 4, and m = 4/1.6 = 2.5 = m
Answer:
49 litres of petrol are needed to travel from town X to town Y and back.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, first off, the variable X and Y, as well as the distance given (124 km) aren't important pieces of information in this equation. They're only there to throw you off and confuse you.
25L of <em>p</em> (petrol) to make the entire journey. After the engine has been tuned, it requires 2% less <em>p</em> than before it was tuned.
2%/100 = 0.02
0.02 * 25L = 0.5L
25L - 0.5L = 24.5L
Now, don't forget, at the end of the word problem we're asked how many litres of <em>p</em> would be required to travel from <em>x</em> to <em>y</em> <em><u>AND BACK</u></em>. So it's not only 24.5L, it's double that (24.5 * 2 = 49L)
Good luck!!
