Answer:  B. 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pages read by Rafael be 'x'.

Then, The number of pages read by Denise =\frac{3}{4}x

The numb er of pages read by Philippe =\frac{1}{2}x

According to the question :-

x+\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}x=540\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{4x+3x+2x}{4}=540\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{9x}{4}=540\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{540\times4}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow x=240

The number of  pages read by Rafael =240

Find the exact value of x in the triangle below
Juli2301 [7.4K]

So this is a special triangle. The 30-60-90 triangle rule states that if the short leg is y, then the hypotenuse is 2y and the long leg is y√3.


In this case, the short leg is 5√3 since that times √3 makes 15.


Now with the hypotenuse, just multiply 5√3 with 2, and your answer should be 10√3, or C.

The 4th book can be either of the remaining 2.
             For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.

Please help me solve this practice SAT question!
lord [1]

Answer:

t=5

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ (t,17) lies on (x,y) plane y=x²-3x+7,t>0

∴ 17=t²-3t+7

t²-3t+7-17=0

t²-3t-10=0

t²-5t+2t-10=0

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

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

t=5,-2

t>0

so t=5
