Mathematics

1 answer:

True [87]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-y)-3x-7y=3(5)-(-5)

3x-3y-3x-7y=15+5

-10y=20

y=-2, since x-y=5

x-(-2)=5

x+2=5

x=3

So the solution is the point (3,-2)

An equiangular triangle has one angle of measure 2x+8. What is x?

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

$x=26\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle add up to $180^{\circ}$ . Therefore, an equiangular triangle will have each of its angles equal to $60^{\circ}}$ . We can then set up the following equation:

$2x+8=60, \\2x=52, \\x=\fbox{$26$}$ .

Neil has 3 partially full cans of white paint.They contain 1/3 gallon,1/5 gallon,and 1/2 gallon of paint.About how much paint do

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

less than 1 1/2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.

A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...

1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2

= 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30

= 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2

In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...

0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033

which is less than 1.5.
