Given ratio: 5 (goats) : (to) 8 (sheep.)

The question asked that if Giles had 32 sheep, then how many goats would he have. We can figure out how many goats he would have by cross multiplying fractions.

5    z
-  x  -
8  32

To figure out the z variable, we simply cross multiply 5 and 32, which gets us 160. Now we divide it by 8. Whatever we get for z, that is our answer for goats. The answer would be <span>20.

Find the value of each variable in the parallelogram

Alright.

For 7, you'll want to put congruent sides equal to each other, assuming they are parallelograms. So, you'll get the two equations:

3x+2=23

2y-7=9

Solve using GEMDAS/PEMDAS, and you'll get these answers.

3x+2=23

3x=21

x=7

2y-7=9

2y=2

y=1

For 8, you'll want to do the exact same thing, formatting the numbers to equal each other. You'll get these two equations:

3y+5=14

2x-5=17

Solving them would make:

3y+5=14

3y=9

y=3

2x-5=17

2x=22

x=11

For 9, you have to remember that the angle opposite of one angle in a defined parallelogram are congruent. Thus:

130=2h

5k=50

solve them and you get

h=65

k=10

What is the y-intercept of the line that is
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The y-intercept of the line would be (C) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line with the equation y = -3x - 5 is -3. When figuring out a slope perpendicular to another line you would use the negative reciprocal of the slope which would lead to the slope of the line to be 1/3.

We know it passes through the point (-3,7), substituting x and y, we would then get our new equation, (7) = \frac{1}{3}( -3) + b.

Solve the equation by multiplying -3 with 1/3 and the product would be -1. Add negative one on both sides and you would get 8 = b.
