Answer: 150 people voted in the election.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Total number of votes.

Mason got \dfrac{x}{3} votes.

Isabella got 40 votes, Amelia got 60 votes.

Then,

Combined votes = 40+60+\dfrac{x}{3}=x

100=x-\dfrac{x}{3}\\\\100=\dfrac23x\\\\ x=100\times\dfrac32\\\\ x=50\times3\\\\ x=150

Hence, 150 people voted in the election.

Hint: To be collinear, show that : AB
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

As the points are collinear, the slope of the line joining

any two points, should be same as the slope of the line joining two other

points.

Slope of the line passing through points (x

1

,y

1

) and (x

2

,y

2

) =

x

2

−x

1

y

2

−y

1

So, slope of the line joining (p,0),(0,q)= Slope of the line joining

(0,q) and (1,1)

0−p

q−0

=

1−0

1−q

−

p

q

=1−q

Dividing both sides by q,

−

p

1

=

q

1

−1

=>

p

1

+

q

1

=1

Find w and y, will give brainliest for the correct answer
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: w=12, y=6√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the figure, we can split the triangle into 2 separate triangles. One on the left and one on the left. The triangle on the right is a 30-60-90 triangle. For this triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x in length. This is directly opposite of the right angle. The leg opposite to 30° is x in length. The leg opposite 60° is x√3 in length. Once you know the length of one side, you can plug in x to find the length of the other legs.

In this case, w and y are located on the same 30-60-90 triangle. Normally we would focus on that triangle to find our values, but in this instance, we don't have any values. We have to use the left triangle to find the leg that both triangles share.

The left triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. For this triangle, the legs opposite of 45° is x in length. The hypotenuse is x√2. Since we know the hypotenuse, we can use it to find x.

x√2=8

x=8/√2

x=5.7 or 6       [Let's use 6 so that it is easier to work with a whole number]

Now that we know x, we can find w and y. Going back to the right triangle, we know the hypotenuse is 2x. We plug in 6 to find the length.

w=2x

w=2(6)

w=12

We know the leg opposite of 60° is x√3. We can plug in x.

y=6√3

Does anyone understand how to solve this?
Nataliya [291]

a f(a) is the function f(x) where x is replaced by a.

So we have

(3x^2 + x + 3 - (3a^2 + a + 3)) / ( x - a)

= (3x^2 - 3a^2 + x - a) / (x = a) Answer

b (3(x + h)^2 + x + h + 3 - (3x^2 + x + 3)) / h

= (3x^2 + 6xh + 3h^2 + x + h - 3x^2 - x - 3) ) / h

= (6xh + h + 3 h^2) / h

= 6x + 3h + 1 Answer
