Stells [14]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

x = 2, x = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + x - 10 = 0

(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0

2x + 5 = 0

2x = -5

x = -5/2

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

If the supplement of an angle is 4 times of its compliment, find the angle.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The angle is 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

A supplement angle is the angle whose sum is equal to 180°.

The supplement angle = 180° - x

A complement angle is the angle whose sum is equal to 90°.

The complement angle = 90° - x

Given,

supplement angle = 4 × complement angle

(180° - x) = 4 × (90° - x)

180° - x = 360° - 4x

4x - x = 360° - 180°

3x = 180°

x = 60°

The supplement angle = 180° - x

⇒ 180° - 60°

⇒ 120°

The complement angle = 90° - x

⇒ 90° - 60°

⇒ 30°

X/2-1/5=x/3+1/4<br>solve this equation

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$x=\frac{27}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{5}-\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{x}{3}$

$-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{x}{6}=\frac{1}{4}$

$-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{x}{6}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{x}{6}=\frac{9}{20}$

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{9\times \:6}{20}$

$x=\frac{27}{10}$

John & friends brought 4 bags of popcorn and 3 sodas at the movie for a total of 13.50. At the next movie John & friend

scoray [572]

Answer:

The cost of 5 bags of popcorn and 2 sodas is 14.25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x units be the cost of a popcorn bag and y units be cost of soda.

The cost of 4 bags of popcorn and 3 sodas is 13.50.

Thus, we can write the equation:

$4x + 3y = 13.50$

The cost of 2 bags of popcorn and 5 sodas is 12.00

Thus, we can write the equation:

$2x+5y=12$

Solving the two equations, we get,

$4x + 3y-(4x+10y) = 13.5 - 24\\\Rightarrow -7y =10.5\\\Rightarrow y = 1.5\\\Rightarrow 2x + 5(1.5) = 12\\\Rightarrow x = 2.25$

Thus, the cost of popcorn bag is 2.25 units and the cost of a soda is 1.5 units.

Cost of 5 bags and 2 sodas

= $=5x+2y\\=5(2.25) + 2(1.5)\\=14.25$

Thus, cost of 5 bags of popcorn and 2 sodas is 14.25 units.

In an election, Candidate A received 75 votes and candidate B received 25 votes, after the first 100 votes were counted. Assume

enot [183]

Answer:

Candidate receives 2250 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of votes A : B = 75 : 25 = 3 : 1

3 : 1 = x : 750

Product of means = Product of extremes

1 *x = 3*750

x = 3 *750

= 2250
