150 total acres...
he planted half the farm with squash.....150/2 = 75 acres squash
he planted 22% with carrots...0.22(150) = 33 acres carrots
150 - (75 + 33) = 150 - 108 = 42 acres cabbage <==

Answer: 250</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
x = speed of the plane in mph
x-180 = speed of the car, since its 180 mph slower than the plane
For the plane, we can form the equation
distance = rate*time
d = r*t
500 = xt
t = 500/x
For the car, we can say,
d = rt
140 = (x-180)t
140 = (x-180)*(500/x)
140x = 500(x-180)
140x = 500x - 90,000
140x - 500x = -90,000
-360x = -90,000
x = (-90,000)/(-360)
x = 250
The speed of the plane is 250 mph
-----------------------------
Extra info:
The car's speed is x-180 = 250-180 = 70 mph
It takes the plane t = d/r = 500/250 = 2 hours and it takes the car t = d/r = 140/70 = 2 hours. Both vehicles travel for 2 hours, which helps to confirm the answer.
Answer:
∠STU = 69°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle with vertex T is called an "inscribed angle." It intercepts arc SU. The relationship you are asked to remember is that the measure of the inscribed angle (T) is half the measure of the arc SU.
Point V is taken to be the center of the circle. The angle with vertex V is called a "central angle." It also intercepts arc SU. The relationship you are asked to remember is that the measure of the central angle (V) is equal to the measure of arc SU.
__
Using these two relationships together, we realize angle V is twice the measure of angle T:
∠SVU = 2×∠STU
18x +12° = 2(18x -57°) . . . . . . relationship between the marked angles
18x +12° = 36x -114° . . . . . eliminate parentheses
126° = 18x . . . . . . . . . . . add 114°-18x
∠STU = 18x -57° = 126° -57°
∠STU = 69°

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may notice we did not solve for x. We only needed to know the value of 18x, so we stopped when we found that value. (Actually, we only need the value of 18x-57°. See below.)
__
<em>Alternate solution</em>:
(18x +12°) -(18x -57°) = 18x -57° . . . . . . . subtract 18x -57° from both sides of the first equation.
69° = 18x -57° . . . . . simplify. This is the answer to the problem.
The answers are 1/5,2/5,3/5,and 4/5
