Maya, Ahmad, and Joe served a total of 75 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Joe served 2 times as many orders as Maya. Ahma
1 answer:
Total number of orders served by Maya, Ahmad and Joe on Moday = 75
Let the number of orders Maya served be x.
Then :
Number of orders Joe served = 2x
Number of orders Ahmad served = x - 5
This can be written in an equation as :
Which means :
Number of orders Joe served :
= 2 × 20
= 40
Thus, Joe served 40 orders.
Number of orders Maya served = 20
Number of orders Ahmad served :
= 20 - 5
= 15
Thus, Ahmad served 15 orders.
<h2>Therefore, </h2>- Maya served 20 orders
- Ahmad served 15 orders
- Joe served 40 orders.

Understand that every triangle has three angles and they add up to 180 degrees.
If I split this triangle in half the total degrees of each individual piece will be 90 degrees. A split in the isosceles triangle will also cause the 40 degrees to halved (thus, how I got 20 degrees in our 90 triangle).
Since we are dealing with an isosceles triangles two of the sides will be equal (hence, the dashes on the triangles sides). Therefore, x and y will also be equal.
Now if our 40 degreed angle is now 20 degrees, we have an unknown angle and the triangle in total now adds up to 90 degrees we can set up an equation.
20 + y = 90
Y = 70
Since X and Y are equal, X will also be 70.
If we return to to the isosceles triangle before it was split (use your photo for reference) and we add 40 +70 + 70 we will get 180 degrees. Which is the standard total of degrees for any triangle that is not a 90 degreed triangle.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions.

Now, the "only" thing that remains to do is solving the above equation.
While making this problem I only made sure it has a solution. I didn't try to solve it myself and I didn't know it will end up with such "convoluted" polynomial. Sorry to everyone who tried to solve it... m(_ _)m
I think the best way to approach it is using the rational root theorem since we know that . Moreover we can deduce that
since there is
and
.
After you succesfully solve it, you should get the answer .
