If there are n people, each person could shake hands with 0 people, 1 person, 2 people,... on up to shaking hands with n − 1
people. Count how many different answers there are to asking the person the question "How many hands did you shake?" How many people are there? If the people are the pigeons, and the possible answers to the question "how many hands did you shake" are the holes, can we conclude anything yet? No? How about now noticing that at least one of the holes "I shook hands with noone" or "I shook hands with everyone" has to be empty... now what?
"Since there are more pigeons than holes there must be a hole with at least two pigeons in the same hole" Now, replace the word "pigeons" and "holes" with the appropriate terms for the context of your specific question, remember we are talking about people and number of handshakes they participated in.
Answer:
$10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = the amount Angela has saved.
Let e = the amount Eli has saved.
"Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings."
e = a/3 + 8
"If they each save $10 more." then
Eli will have: e + 10
Angela will have a + 10
"Eli will have saved $4 more than Angela's savings."
e + 10 = a + 10 + 4
This equation simplifies to: e = a + 4
We have a system of two equations in two variables.
e = a/3 + 8
e = a + 4
Since both equations are solved for e, we just equate the right sides.
a/3 + 8 = a + 4
Subtract a/3 from both sides. Subtract 4 from both sides.
a/3 - a/3 + 8 - 4 = a - a/3 + 4 - 4
4 = (2/3)a
Multiply both sides by 3/2
(3/2)4 = (3/2)(2/3)a
6 = a
a = 6
Angela has $6.
e = a + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
Eli has $10.
Seventy five thousandths is less than .75
Answer:
a=34 °
b=76°
c=70°
d=70°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles 76° , 34°, and c make up a triangle. A triangle has a sum of 180°.
180° = 76° + 34° +c
c=70°
The parallel lines create 2 congruent triangles so we can use the same angles from the first triangle for the second one.
Obtuse "angle"... is the answer.
