Set up an equation to find x, Explain why you used this equation

Answer: 180= 38+(17x+1)+(3x+1), All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so I made all the add measures equal to 180 degrees.

Just solve that equation to find x. Then used then plug in the x value to (17x+1). After you solve that put it equal to 2y to solve for y.

So the y equation would look like: 2y=(17x+1) (but you would have solved for x and then plugged it in to the equation)

If you need help solving or have any questions let me know!

The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish. 60 percent of the fish are yellow. How many green fish are in the aquarium?
cupoosta [38]

The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish.

60% of the fish are yellow.

To find:

How many green fish are in the aquarium?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x number of fish in the aquarium.

60% of the fish are yellow.

So there are 60x/100 = 3x/5 yellow fish.

Then (100 - 60)% = 40% fish are green.

So there are 40x/100 = 2x/5 green fish.

Given that, there are 3 more yellow fish than green fish

⇒ 3x/5 = 2x/5 + 3

⇒ 3x/5 = (2x + 15)/5

⇒ 3x = 2x + 15

⇒ 3x - 2x = 15

⇒ x = 15

Now, 2x/5 = 2/5 × 15 = 2 × 4 = 6

Answer:

There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.

How many centimeter squares would be wrapped around this rectangular prism?
denis23 [38]
You haven't told us whether the rectangular prism is the size of a pack of gum or more like the size of a cruise ship.

Whatever size it is, here's the number of centimeter squares you need to cover the whole outside of it:

(2 x length x width) + (2 x length x height) + (2 x width x height)

with all measurements made in centimeters.

Please help. Will give brainliest.

Alright, so you have the basic formula- good.
You have the A value (400), the interest rate r (7.5% -> .075 in decimal), and the final P value (8500). So, we only need to solve for t.

8500 = (400)(1+.075)^t
/400      /400
21.25 = 1.075^t
logarithms are the inverse of exponents, basically, if you have an example like
y = b^x, then a logarithm inverts it, logy(baseb)=x
Makes sense if you consider a power of ten.
1000 = 10^3
if you put logbase10(1000), you'll get 3.
Anyways, though, to solve the problem make a log with a base of 1.075 in your calculator
log21.25(base 1.075) = t
also, because of rules of change of base (might want to look this up to clarify), you can write this as log(21.25)/log(1.075) = t
Thus, t is 42.26118551.
Rounded to hundredths, t=42.26

Brian’s kite is flying above a field at the end of 65m of string. If the angle of elevation to the kite measures 70; how high is
REY [17]
If the height is h, then h/65=sin70, so h=65sin70=61.08m approx.
