Answer:

x = 8

base angle = 81 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

we observe that because the given triangle is a isosceles triangle, the base angles must be the same.

Hence the missing base angle must also be (10x+1)°

recall that all internal angles of an triangle must add up to 180 deg,

hence

180° = sum of all internal angles

180° = 18° + (10x+1)° + (10x+1)°

180° = 18° + 2(10x+1)° (subtracting 18 from both sides)

180 - 18 = 2(10x+1)

162 = 2(10x+1) dividing both sides by 2)

162 / 2 = 10x + 1

81 = 10x + 1 (subtracting 1 from both sides)

81 - 1 = 10x

10x = 80 (divide both sides by 10)

x = 80/10

x = 8 (answer)

substituting x = 8 into the expression for the base angle

base angle = (10x+1)

= 10(8) + 1

= 10 + 1

= 81

The credit remaining on a phone card (in dollars) is a linear function of the total calling time made with the card (in minutes)

saw5 [17]

Answer: $19.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function: f(x)=mx+c

, where m= rate of change in f(x) with respect to x.

c = Initial value.

Let c = Initial value of card , m= Charge per minute

x= Number of minutes calling time.

Then, 25.06= 38m+c (i)

21.03=69m+c (ii)

Eliminate (ii) from (i)

$4.03=-31m\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\dfrac{4.03}{-31}\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=-0.13$

Put m in (i) , we get

$25.06= 38(-0.13)+c\\\\\Rightarrow\ 25.06=-4.94+c\\\\\Rightarrow\ c=25.06+4.94\\\\\Rightarrow\ c=30$

i.e. f(x)=-0.13x+30

if x=80 then

f(80)= -0.13(80)+30

=-10.4+30

=19.6

Hence, the remaining credit after 80 minutes of calls = $19.6

How many quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 8 quarts of a 40% antifreeze solution to obtain a 60% antifreeze solution

anyanavicka [17]

Let q be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.

8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.

The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + q quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + q quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means

(3.2 + q) / (8 + q) = 0.60

Solve for q :

3.2 + q = 0.60 (8 + q)

3.2 + q = 4.8 + 0.6q

0.4q = 1.6

q = 4
