Answer:

3.5 pounds for 14 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 pound = 4 people

Required

Determine the pounds for 14 people

Represent this with x; so, we have:

$1\ pound = 4\ people$

$x = 14\ people$

Cross Multiply

$x * 4 = 1 * 14$

$4x = 14$

Solve for x

$x = 14/4$

$x = 3.5$

<em>Hence, 3.5 pounds for 14 people</em>

I DONT KNOW THESE! HELP!

kkurt [141]

Answer:

20. x = 5, y = -2

21. x = 11, y = 12

22. x = 22, y = 11

23. x = 11, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

20. Opposite sides in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2y+18=3x-1\\ \\6x-3=17-5y$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2y-3x=-19\\ \\6x+5y=20\end{array}\right.$

Multiply the first equation by 2 and add two equations:

$2(2y-3x)+6x+5y=2\cdot (-19)+20\\ \\4y-6x+6x+5y=-38+20\\ \\9y=-18\\ \\y=-2$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$2\cdot (-2)-3x=-19\\ \\-3x=-19+4\\ \\-3x=-15\\ \\x=5$

21. Opposite angles in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$11x+5=10y+6$

Consecutive angles are supplementary, so

$6x-y+11x+5=180^{\circ}$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}11x-10y=1\\ \\17x-y=175\end{array}\right.$

From the second equation

$y=17x-175$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$11x-10(17x-175)=1\\ \\11x-170x+1750=1\\ \\-159x=-1749\\ \\x=11\\ \\y=17\cdot 11-175=187-175=12$

22. Opposite angles in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2x-5=3y-12$

Consecutive angles are supplementary, so

$2x-5+7y+x=180^{\circ}$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x-3y=-7\\ \\3x+7y=185\end{array}\right.$

From the first equation

$x=-3.5+1.5y$

Substitute it into the second equation:

$3(-3.5+1.5y)+7y=185\\ \\-10.5+4.5y+7y=185\\ \\-105+45y+70y=1,850\\ \\115y=1,850+105\\ \\115y=1,955\\ \\y=17\\ \\x=-3.5+1.5\cdot 17=22$

23. Opposite sides in the parallelogram are congruent, so

$2x+9=4y-9\\ \\3x-5=2y+8$

Solve this system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x-4y=-18\\ \\3x-2y=13\end{array}\right.$

Multiply the second equation by 2 and subtract it from the first equation:

$2x-4y-2(3x-2y)=-18-2\cdot 13\\ \\2x-4y-6x+4y=-18-26\\ \\-4x=-44\\ \\x=11$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$2\cdot 11-4y=-18\\ \\-4y=-18-22\\ \\-4y=-40\\ \\y=10$

Which is M=9pm solved for p

zaharov [31]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The value of </u><u>p :M/9m</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we have been given value of M

Value of M=9pm

So we can find value of p from here by simple mathematics rule

M=9pm

divide both side with 9m so

M/9m=9pm/9m

we get value of p so M/9m=p.

we can write it as p=M/9m
