Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1st step is to solve x from ΔWXY</u>

∠W + ∠X + ∠Y = 180

where ∠W = 5x + 2

∠X = 7x + 4

∠Y = 180 - (15x - 18)

= 198 - 15x

now plugin values into the equation:

5x + 2 + 7x + 4 + 198 - 15x = 180

combine similar terms:

5x + 7x - 15x = 180 - 2 - 4 - 198

simplify:

-3x = -24

x = -24 / -3

x = 8

<u>2nd step is to substitute x = 8 into ∠XYZ</u>

∠XYZ = 15x - 18

∠XYZ = 15(8) - 18

∠XYZ = 102

Terry and Callie do word processing. For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can. If they wor

Dahasolnce [82]

Time taken by jerry alone is 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone is 8.1 hours

<u>Solution:</u>

Given:- For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can

Let the time taken by Terry be "a" hours

So, the time taken by Callie will be (a-2) hours

Hence, the efficiency of Callie and Terry per hour is $\frac{1}{a-2} \text { and } \frac{1}{a} \text { respectively }$

If they work together they can do the entire prospectus in five hours

$\text {So, } \frac{1}{a-2}+\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross-multiplication we get,

$\frac{a+(a-2)}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2 a-2}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross multiplication ,we get

$\begin{array}{l}{5 \times(2 a-2)=a \times(a-2)} \\\\ {10 a-10=a^{2}-2 a} \\\\ {a^{2}-2 a-10 a+10=0} \\\\ {a^{2}-12 a+10=0}\end{array}$

<em><u>using quadratic formula:-</u></em>

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}$

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{104}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm 2 \sqrt{26}}{2}} \\\\ {x=6 \pm \sqrt{26}=6 \pm 5.1} \\\\ {x=10.1 \text { or } x=0.9}\end{array}$

If we take a = 0.9, then while calculating time taken by callie = a - 2 we will end up in negative value

Let us take a = 10.1

So time taken by jerry alone = a = 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone = a - 2 = 10.1 - 2 = 8.1 hours

Turn the information into coordinate points.

Point = (time, population)

Point 1 = (1985, 45000)
Point 2 = (2004 , 26000)

Find the slope between these points using the formula

( Slope)—> m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
26000-45000/2004-1985=-19000/19= -1000
Average rate of change is decrease of 1000 sea lion per year

I hope that helped

Nicholas borrowed $250 from his parents to buy a video game system. He has agreed to pay them back $15 each week. Which equation

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

p = 250 - 15(w)

Step-by-step explanation:

Original amount: 250

No of weeks to return money: w

Amount to pay each week: 15

Amount that he has paid back: 15 × w (When we subtract this term from the total we will get the answer)

So after w weeks he owes his parents :

p = 250 - 15(w)

Savannah is making a quilt with squares that have side lengths of 15/16 foot each. Are the side lengths of the squares closer to

alekssr [168]

Answer:

1 foot long

Step-by-step explanation:

If this fraction is closer to one it will be close to 16/16. And since 8 is half of 16, any fraction that is around 8/16 is closer to 1/2. 15 is closer 16 so this fraction is closer to one.
