Let's assume

Amy has x peaches

John has y peaches

Amy and John shared 150 peaches

so, we get

x+y=150

now, we can solve for y

y=150-x

we are given

(1/3) of what Amy has equals to (1/2) of what John has

\frac{1}{3} x=\frac{1}{2}y

now, we can plug y

\frac{1}{3} x=\frac{1}{2}(150-x)

we can cross multiply

and we get

2x=3(150-x)

2x=450-3x

5x=450

x=90

now, we can find y

y=150-90

y=60

so,

Amy has 90 peaches

John has 60 peaches..........Answer

Which of the following equations is non-linear?
lakkis [162]

2x + 6y = 14y - 19x^2 + 12 is a non-linear equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets define a linear equation first.

A linear equation is an equation in which there is no variable with exponent greater than 1 or the degree of the equation is 1.

So,

<u>x + 12 = -8x + 10 - 2y</u>

The equation is a linear equation because the degree of the equation is 1.

<u>x = 8x + 19 - 10y</u>

The equation is a linear equation because the degree of the equation is 1.

<u>2x + 6y = 14y - 19x^2 + 12</u>

The equation involve a term with exponent 2 which makes the degree of the equation 2 making it a quadratic equation

<u>2x + 13y + 14x - 7 = 16y - 3</u>

The equation is a linear equation because the degree of the equation is 1.

Hence,

2x + 6y = 14y - 19x^2 + 12 is a non-linear equation

Keywords: Linear, quadratic

Three exterior angles of a pentagon measures 60,80and 90.Find the measure of other two exterior angle, assuming them equally Tha
julsineya [31]

Given:

The three exterior angles of a pentagon measures 60,80 and 90.

To find:

The measure of other two exterior angle, assuming them equally.

Solution:

Let x be the measure of two other exterior angles of the pentagon.

We know that the sum of all exterior angles of a pentagon is 360 degrees.

60^\circ+80^\circ+90^\circ+x+x=360^\circ

230^\circ+2x=360^\circ

2x=360^\circ-230^\circ

2x=130^\circ

Divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{130^\circ}{2}

x=65^\circ

Therefore, the measures of both exterior angles are 65 degrees.

The volume of this triangular prism is 140 cubic millimeters. What is the value of d? Please need help!!
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

7 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is the area of the base times it's length.

140/10 is 14

so the area of the triangle is 14

the formula for area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2

so

d x 4/ 2 = 14

multiply both sides by 2

d x 4 = 28

divide both sides by 4

d=7
