Answer:

Number of rocks and fossils collected by you is <u>1 and  24</u> respectively

Number of rocks and fossils collected by your friend is <u>3 and 12 </u>respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  the number of Rocks you collect be x

Let  the number of Fossils you collect be y

Then the total number pf objects you collected will be

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y------------------------------(1)

Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as you.

This can be written as

3x + y (1/2) = 15

3x + (y/2) = 15-------------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

3(25 - y) + (y/2) = 15

75 - 3y + (y/2) = 15

Grouping the like terms we get,

75 - 15 = 3y = (y/2)

60 = ( 6y - y /2)

60 x 2 = 6y -y

120 = 5y

y = 120/5

y = 24

Substituting  y value in equation(1) we get

x = 25 - 24

x= 1

y= 24

Friends collects 3 times rock

so collects 3x =3(1) = 3rocks

Also he collects half as many fossils

That is

y/2 = 24/2 = 12 fossils

How do you find the slope and put it in slope intercept form
Anna11 [10]
To find the slope take your points, they should be (x1,y1) (x2,y2), proceed to subtract y2-y1 over x2-x1. after you calculate that simplify and put it in y=mx+B (the slope goes in the m position and x is usually left open)

Please help me find X
Zanzabum

Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of distances from the intersection of secants to the near and far intersections with the circle are the same. For a tangent, the near and far points of intersection with the circle are the same. This relation tells us ...

  (2√3)(2√3) = x(x +4)

  12 = x² +4x

  16 = x² +4x +4 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square

  4² = (x +2)² . . . . . . . . write as squares

  4 = x +2 . . . . . . . . . . positive square root

  2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you believe x to be an integer, you can look for factors of 12 that differ by 4.

  12 = 1×12 = 2×6 = 3×4

The factors 2 and 6 differ by 4, so x=2 and x+4=6.

Which of the pairs of angles are vertical angles and thus congruent? ∠A and ∠G ∠A and ∠B ∠C and ∠F ∠D and ∠H
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

∠A and ∠G is the pair of vertical angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Two lines 'm' and 'n' are two parallel lines. These lines intersect a horizontal line 'l'.

Since, "Pair of opposite angles formed at the point of intersection are the vertical angles and equal in measure."

Therefore, Opposite angles ∠A ≅ ∠G, ∠B ≅ ∠H, ∠C ≅ ∠E and ∠D ∠F are the vertical angles.

From the given options,

∠A and ∠G is the pair representing the pair of vertical angles and thus congruent.

Which expression is equivalent to 4 over 9 (2n - 3)
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The result for this equation is \frac{8}{9}n - \frac{4}{3} .

Step-by-step explanation:

-Solve:

\frac{4}{9} (2n-3)

-Multiply 2n and -3 by \frac{4}{9} :

\frac{8}{9} + \frac{-12}{9}

-Reduce \frac{-12}{9} to the lowest term by extracting and canceling out 3:

\frac{8}{9}n - \frac{4}{3}

-So, the result is \frac{8}{9}n - \frac{4}{3} .
