Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
- cos ( 1/2 x + 1/5 π ) = 0 ( and because if cos α = 0, α= π/2 + k π, k ∈ Z )
1/2 x + π/5 = π/2 + k π, k ∈ Z
1/2 x = π/2 - π/5 + k π / * 2
x = π - 2π/5 + 2 k π
x = 3/5 π + 2 k π = 0.6 π + 2 k π
Answer:
If k = 0: x 1 = 0.6 π = 3π/5
k = 1 : x 2 = 2.6 π = 13π/5
Answer:
42.4
Step-by-step explanation:
1) use this formula of Area of the triangle:
2) using the formula described above:
A=0.5*14*11*0.55≈42.4 (mm²)
Answer:
M=30 degrees
because 102+148=150 and 180-150=30. (remember the sum of a triangle is 180 degrees)
the congruence statement would be SAS (side angle side) because 102 and 48 are the same in both triangles, but the third side is not the same.
