Answer:

The value of x = 513

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y, and z be the three numbers

Given

x+y+z=855

Assuming x be the number which is 50% more than the sum of the other two numbers.

i.e.

(150)% of (y+z) = 1.5(y+z)

                y + z = x/1.5

As we know that

x + y + z = 855

substituting y + z = x / 1.5 in the equation

x+\frac{x}{1.5}=855

Multiply both sides by 1.5

x\cdot \:1.5+\frac{x}{1.5}\cdot \:1.5=855\cdot \:1.5

1.5x+x=1282.5

2.5x=1282.5

Divide both sides by 2.5

\frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{1282.5}{2.5}

x = 513

Therefore, the value of x = 513

X = 5/3 and m∠SPY = 8 1/3°.

Since PQ bisects the angle, the two angles formed by the bisector are equal:

11/2x - 5 = 4x - 5/2

We will first multiply everything by 2 to eliminate the fractions:
(11/2x)*2 - 5*2 = 4x*2 - (5/2)*2
11x - 10 = 8x - 5

Subtract 8x from each side:
11x - 10 - 8x = 8x - 5 - 8x
3x - 10 = -5

Add 10 to both sides:
3x - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10
3x = 5

Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 5/3
x = 5/3

Now we will plug this in for x in both smaller angles and add them together to find the measure of ∠SPY:

11/2(5/3) - 5 + 4(5/3) - 5/2
55/6 - 5 + 20/3 - 5/2

We will rewrite everything using a denominator of 6:
55/6 - 30/6 + 40/6 - 15/6 = (55-30+40-15)/6 = 50/6 = 8 2/6 = 8 1/3°

Is the quotient of two integers always a rational number? Explain.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

It is true that the quotient of two integers is always a rational number. This is because a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q.

1 Solve for the unknown variable:
Burka [1]

Answer:

Approximately 6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pythagorean thereom here, that tells us (a^2)+(b^2)=c^2. C is the hypotenuse, the side opposite from the right angle, while a and b are the other sides. We can insert 5 and 4 as a and b, and solve for c

:(5^2)+(4^2)=c^2

:25+16=c^2

:41=c^2

:sqrt(41)=6.4=c              (We square rooted both sides. 6.4 is only rounded to the nearest hundredths place.) Hope this helps!
