<h3>Answer: C) n - 10</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

Consider an example of saying "10 less than 50" would mean we compute 50-10 = 40

Another example would be "10 less than 78" so we say 78-10 = 68

In general, we would use algebra to go from "10 less than a number" to "a number - 10" to n - 10

Whatever n is, we subtract 10 from it to get that expression.

From there, we replace n with various numbers. Eg: replace n with 50

n-10 = 50-10 = 40

-----------------

Be careful not to mix up "10 less than a number" with "10 <u>is</u> less than a number". The "is" being the difference. This single word will change what the symbol interpretation will be.

"10 is less than a number" translates to 10 < n

olasank [31]

Answer:

1440 different arrangements are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of arrangements of n elements:

The number of arrangements of n elements is given by:

$A_{n} = n!$

In this question:

6 couples, in which each can be positioned in 2 ways(him/her or her/him). So

$T = 2A_{6} = 2*6! = 1440$

1440 different arrangements are possible.

Help plz !!!!! Isosceles and Equilateral.

Ilya [14]

Answer: 40

=====================================

Explanation:

The angle we want is QPR (bottom left), which is one of the base angles. The other base angle is QRP (bottom right). These two angles are equal because PQR is an isosceles triangle (PQ = RQ)

So if we can find angle QRP, then we have found angle QPR

Note how angle QRP and the 140 degree angle combine to form a straight 180 degree angle. Therefore these two angles add to 180 degrees

(angle QRP) + (140) = 180
(angle QRP) + 140 - 140 = 180-140 ... subtract 140 from both sides
angle QRP = 40

Since,
angle QPR = angle QRP
this means
angle QPR = 40
and
b = 40

joshua is going kayaking with a group ruring one of his vacation days. In his vacation planning he budgeted 50 for a kayak renta

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: Divide Kayak budget by rental rate

Step-by-step Explanation:

As Joshua is renting for himself alone, the two available options would be the Single Kayak and the Single Sea Kayak.

He can determine the number of hours to rent a Kayak for by dividing his Kayak Budget by the rental rate per hour of the 2 options available to him.

Single Kayak

Budget available = $50

Rental rate = $15 per hour

Hours he can rent = 50/15

= 3.33 hours

Single Sea Kayak

Budget available = $50

Rental rate = $18 per hour

Hours he can rent = 50/18

= 2.78 hours

The approximate distance between K and L is units. The approximate distance between L and J is units. If you join all three poin

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) on the coordinate plane is given by:

$AB=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\$

Point J is at (-3, 3), point K is at (4, 3) and point L is at (1, -1). Hence:

The distance between K and L = KL = $\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(1-4)^2} =5\ units$

The distance between J and L = JL = $\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(1-(-3))^2} =4\sqrt{2} \ units$

The distance between K and J = JK = $\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-3-4)^2} =7\ units$

Therefore, the perimeter of triangle JKL is:

Perimeter = KL + JL + JK = 5 + 4√2 + 7 = 17.66 units
