Answer:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

In other words, percentage is just the simplied ratio of something. Percentage cannot account for the original value and its original value cannot be assumed that it is small just because the percentage is small.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When using the substitution method we use the fact that if two expressions y and x are of equal value x=y, then x may replace y or vice versa in another expression without changing the value of the expression.

Solve the systems of equations using the substitution method

{y=2x+4

{y=3x+2

We substitute the y in the top equation with the expression for the second equation:

2x+4            =      3x+2

4−2              =        3x−2

2===             =         x

To determine the y-value, we may proceed by inserting our x-value in any of the equations. We select the first equation:

y= 2x + 4

We plug in x=2 and get

y=  2⋅2+4 = 8

The elimination method requires us to add or subtract the equations in order to eliminate either x or y, often one may not proceed with the addition directly without first multiplying either the first or second equation by some value.

Example:

2x−2y = 8

x+y = 1

We now wish to add the two equations but it will not result in either x or y being eliminated. Therefore we must multiply the second equation by 2 on both sides and get:

2x−2y = 8

2x+2y = 2

Now we attempt to add our system of equations. We commence with the x-terms on the left, and the y-terms thereafter and finally with the numbers on the right side:

(2x+2x)  + (−2y+2y) =  8+2

The y-terms have now been eliminated and we now have an equation with only one variable:

4x = 10

x= 10/4 =2.5

Thereafter, in order to determine the y-value we insert x=2.5 in one of the equations. We select the first:

2⋅2.5−2y     =  8

5−8             = 2y

−3               =2y

−3/2            =y

y                 =-1.5

Answer:

First Image:         Option D

Second Image:   Option D

Third Image:       Option C

Fourth Image:     Option B

Fifth Image:         Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First Image:</u>

  • Supplementary angles is two angles whose sum is 180 degrees (straight line)
  • 180 - 47 = 133°
  • ? is an obtuse angle is any angle greater than 90° which checks the answer

<u>Second Image:</u>

  • A triangle angles adds up to 180°
  • Two angles are already given
  • 72 + 45 + ? = 180° → 117 + ? = 180° → ? = 63°
  • ? is an acute angle is an angle that measures between 90° and 0°

<u>Third Image:</u>

  • Supplementary angles is two angles whose sum is 180 degrees (straight line)
  • 180 - 110 = 70°
  • ? is an acute angle is an angle that measures between 90° and 0°

<u>Fourth Image:</u>

  • Supplementary angles is two angles whose sum is 180 degrees (straight line)
  • 180 - 120 = 60°
  • we are shown a right angle which = 90°
  • A triangle adds up to 180°
  • 180 - 90 - 60 = 30
  • ? = 30°
  • ? is an acute angle is an angle that measures between 90° and 0°

<u>Fifth Image:</u>

  • Supplementary angles is two angles whose sum is 180 degrees (straight line)
  • 180 - 85 = 95°
  • ? is an obtuse angle is any angle greater than 90° which checks the answer
