Answer:

  • Keiko: 17
  • Chang: 24
  • Abdul: 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of messages sent by Chang. Then Keiko sent (c-7) messages, and Abdul sent 4(c-7) messages. The total number sent was ...

  c + (c -7) +4(c -7) = 109

  6c -35 = 109 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  6c = 144 . . . . . . . . . . . add 35

  c = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  c-7 = 17

  4(c-7) = 68

Keiko sent 17, Chang sent 24, and Abdul sent 68 text messages.

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A(0,1), B(2, 1) , and C(2, 5) ?
KatRina [158]
The circumcenter is where the perpendicular bisectors meet.
if you sketch the triangle, you will see that it is a right triangle, with the right angle vertex at (2,1)
one perpendicular bisector is x=1, another perpendicular bisector is y=3
they meet at (1,3)
so (1,3) is the answer.

I think the best value for x is -9 because 6 x -9 = 54, minus 8 equals -44.
