Answer:
67 students voted for the eagle
Step-by-step explanation:
The students at Woodward Elementary voted for a school mascot. The falcon won with 5/8 of the votes and the eagle came second with 1/3 of the remaining votes. If 536 students voted for a mascot, how many students voted for the eagle
Total students who voted = 536
Falcon won with 5/8 of the votes
5/8 of 536
=5/8 × 536
= 2,680/8
= 335 votes
Falcons won with 335 votes
Remaining votes = Total votes - falcons votes
= 536 - 335
= 201 votes
There are 201 votes remaining
Eagle came second with 1/3 of the remaining votes
1/3 of the remaining votes
= 1/3 × 201
= 201/3
= 67 votes
67 students voted for the eagle
Answer:
The difference between 5 and a certain number is divided by 3. find the number if is equal to 7.
Answer: XY = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the triangle XYZ is shown in the attached photo.
XY=XZ. This means that two sides of the triangle are equal. Two angles are also equal. It means that the triangle XYZ is an isosceles triangle.
Since XY=XZ, then
2a = 5a - 12
Subtracting 2a from both sides of the equation,
2a - 5a = 5a - 12 - 5a
-3a = -12
a = -12/-3
a = 4
Therefore, the length of XY is 2a = 2×4 = 8
Answer:
x = -2, 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Isolate everything to 1 side
2x² + 3x - 2 = 0
Step 2: Factor
(2x - 1)(x + 2) = 0
Step 3: Find roots
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
