Answer:

x = 16

m<Y = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

∆XYZ is an isosceles ∆. An isosceles ∆ has two equal sides, as well as the bases of the isosceles triangle are congruent. In this case, therefore:

<X = <Z

(6x - 23)° = (4x + 9)

Solve for x

6x - 23 = 4x + 9

Collect like terms

6x - 4x = 23 + 9

2x = 32

Divide both sides by 2

x = 16

m<Y = 180° - (m<X + m<Z) (sum of ∆)

m<Y = 180 - ((6x - 23) + (4x + 9))

Plug in the value of x

m<Y = 180 - ((6(16) - 23) + (4(16) + 9))

m<Y = 180 - (73 + 73)

m<Y = 34°

One day, the hours without daylight in a particular city was 17 3/4 hours. What was the number of hours of daylight? PLS help

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

6 ¼ hours of Daylight

Step-by-step explanation:

a day = 24 hours
you know that there was 17 ¾ hours of no day light
17 ¾ = 17.75
24 - 17.75 = Daylight hours
daylight hours = 6.25

If 7 is the mean of 10,3,4,a,6,9 and 10.find the value of a

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

I think, what you need to do, is first understand how to find the mean of anything: It's quite simple, actually, just add up all the numbers, then divide that number by the number of numbers. So, let's put it in perspective:

10, 3, 4, a, 6, 9, 10

7 is the mean. 7 is the number of numbers.

If, to find the mean is: 10 + 3 + 4 + a + 6 + 9 + 10= 7a ÷ 7, then: 10 +3 + 4+ 6 + 9 +10= 42

42 plus what divided by 7 is the question now.

42 + a ÷ 7= 7

So, 7 times 7, that's 49 minus 42 and you've got your answer: 7

There are two spinners. The first spinner has three equal sectors labeled 1, 2, and 3. The second spinner has four equal sectors

zhuklara [117]

<h3>Answer: A) 1</h3>

=========================

Explanation:

Let's label each pair of outcomes as an ordered pair (x,y)

x = first spinner outcome

y = second spinner outcome

We have these 12 different possible combos

(1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)

(2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)

(3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)

Focus on the third column where y = 5 for each (x,y) pair. Of this column only (2,5) has x be an even number. The other results in that column have x be odd.

Basically (1,5) is the only possible outcome if we want the first spinner to lan on an even number, and the second spinner to land on 5.

steposvetlana [31]

To find the answer you need to find the common factor of numbers 25 and 60

25,50,75,100,125,150,175,200,225,250,275,300

60,120,180,240,300

The 300th customer will receive both cards, and a total of $220 and 17 gift cards were given away.
