Mathematics

Schach [20]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

From given, we have,

Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height.  

Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height.

Let the height of Theresa be "x" inches.

So, we get,

For Paul, 1 1/2 x - 16 = T

⇒ 3/2 x - 16 = T ......(1)

For Steve, 1 1/3 x - 6 = T

⇒ 4/3 x - 6 = T .........(2)

equating  equations (1) and (2), we get,

3/2 x - 16 =  4/3 x - 6

6 - 16 = 4/3 x - 3/2 x

-10 = (8 - 9)/6 x

-60 = -x

x = 60 inches.

Therefore, Theresa is 60 inches tall.

1. Solve for w in the equation W/5 = 25<br> A.W = 5<br> B.W = 125<br> C. W = 30<br> D.W = 20
vekshin1

Answer: <em>w = 125</em>

Explanation: Since <em>w</em> is being divided by 5, to solve for <em>w</em>,

multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

On the left side, the 5's will cancel

and on the right side, 25(5) is 125.

So <em>w = 125</em>.

<u>Please do not do this problem in your head.</u>

Show the work that it takes to get <em>w</em> by itself.

15 points please help!! :)<br> Find the value of x.
andriy [413]

Answer:

Question 4: -11

Question 5: -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Four

Every triangle has 180 degrees.

So all three angles add to 180

<em><u>Equation</u></em>

60 + 80 + x + 51 = 180

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

Combine the like terms on the left. This is the first time I've seen x be a negative value. Almost all of the time it isn't, which should make you wonder.

191 + x = 180    

Subtract 191 from both sides.

191 - 191 + x = 180 - 191

x = - 11

Five

If a triangle is a right triangle and one of the angles is 45, then so is the other one.

<em><u>Proof</u></em>

a + 45 + 90 = 180         Combine like terms on the left

a + 135 = 180                Subtract 135 on both sides.

a + 135-135=180-135    Combine the like terms

a = 45

<em><u>Statement</u></em>

That means 52 + x = 45 and here is another negative answer. Subtract 52 from both sides

52 - 52 + x = 45 - 52    Combine like terms.

x  = - 7

Solve x2 - 8x = 20 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

{-2,10}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x = 20

Take the coefficient of x

-8

Divide by 2

-8/2 =-4

Square it

(-4)^2 =16

Add this to each side

x^2 - 8x+16 = 20+16

x^2 - 8x+16 = 36

The left hand side becomes( x + (-8/2) )^2

(x - 4)^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x - 4)^2) =±sqrt( 36)

x-4 = ±6

Add 4 to each side

x-4+4 = 4±6

x = 4±6

x = 4+6       x = 4-6

x = 10        x = -2
