Answer:

x = 90, y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to this problem is the fact that <u>opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent</u> (their lengths are equal).

Set up and solve two equations, one for x and one for y.

x + 80 = 2x - 10

80 = x - 10

90 = x

--------------------------

3y - 4 = y + 20

2y - 4 = 20

2y = 24

y = 12

Use the equation 2,401 = 76 – 2x. What power of 7 is 2,401?

I'm going to take a guess at this and say what you meant is 2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)

Step One
Find out the power of 7 that will equal 2401.
You could do it like this.
7^y = 2401 and just guess at some values.

y 7^y
1 7
2 49
3 7 * 7 * 7 = 343
4 7 * 7 * 7 * 7 = 2401 So the answer is 4

7^4 = 2401

Step 2
Equate the powers.
2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)
7^4 = 7^ (6 - 2x)
4 = 6 - 2x Subtract 6 from both sides.
4 - 6 = - 2x
-2 = - 2x divide by - 2
-2/-2 = x
x = 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<answer

Answer:

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Recipe's requirement : 3/8 cups

Karl wants to use half : 1/2

The given question involves fractions. When the number of cups has to be divided into half, it will be multiplied with 1/2.
