Answer: There were 10 students in the class on the first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students of the first day.

Given: A college writing seminar increased its size by 50 percent from the first to the second day.

i.e. Number of students on second day = (Number of students on first day)+(50% of Number of students on first day)

= x +50% of x

= x+0.50x

= (1.50)x

=1.50x

Since, it is given that  the total number of students in the seminar on the second day was 15.

i.e. 1.50x=15

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{15}{1.5}\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{150}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10

Hence, there were 10 students in the class on the first day.

What is the length of the arc with a measure of 200° in a circle of radius of 31 inches
Tresset [83]

Answer:

107.94 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = 2 pi r = 6.28 *31 = 194.28

1% arc = 3.6 = 1.9428

55.56% of 360=200.016

55.56% of 194.28 =107.94

You can try using this guide to apply to arc segments

The radius is 31inch if it was a prime factor of 360 then you could use the equation arc = radius / no of segments

Ifthe circle had 30 inch radius then 360/30 = 12

Then divide by the 200/30 = 6.66

The circumference then would be similar 114.44inch

What is the answer for 3r=10+5 when r=10
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the VALUE OF 3r=10+5 when r=10?

substitute 10 for r in 3r=10+5.  We get:

3(10) = 10 + 5, or 30 = 15.  This equation is FALSE when r = 10.

You could solve the equation for r, however:

3r=10+5 becomes 3r = 15, and so r = 5.  5 is a solution; 10 is not a solution.

(WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST) Describe how you would simplify the given expression.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Simplify inside the parentheses by dividing coefficients, subtracting the exponents on like bases, and raising the resulting expression to the –3 power. Then, write bases with positive exponents.

Raise the numerator and denominator to the –3 power. Then, using the power of a power property, multiply the exponents. Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents on like bases, then write with positive exponents.
