Let's assume
number of birds with 2 wings is x
number of birds with 4 wings is y
A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds
so,
Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x
Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y
The specimens have a total of 4384 wings
so, we get
we can divide both sides by 2
so, we get system of equations as
we can solve for x and y
We can subtract both equations
so,
number of birds with 2 wings is 1824
number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer
Jocelyn makes more than $195 but not over $645. The amount she has to pay is 15% of the excess of 196. Find this first via subtraction.
421 - 195 = $226 over
Take 15% of this
226 x .15 = $33.9
The tax also includes a $14.4 addition to this 15%.
33.9 + 14.4 = $48.3 total income tax
Answer:
6) 15
7)5
8)120 degrees
9)60 degrees
10)9
Step-by-step explanation:
GHIJ is a parallelogram.
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
3y - 1 = 2y + 1
3y - 2y = 1 + 1
y = 2
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
4x + 3 = x + 12
4x - x = 12 - 3
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
6)GH = ?
GH = 4x + 3
GH = 4(3) + 3
= 12 + 3
= 15
therefore, GH = 15
7) HI = ?
HI = 2y + 1
= 2(2) + 1
= 4 +1
= 5
therefore, HI = 5
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
8) m(angle I) = 120 degrees...... (given)
therefore, measure of angle G = measure of angle I
therefore, m(angle G) = 120 degrees
Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
9) m(angle I) + m(angle J) = 180 degrees
120 + m (angle J) = 180
m(angle J) = 180 - 120
= 60 degrees.
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
10) JK = 9 .........( given)
JK = HK
therefore, HK = 9
<span>The answer is that 79 IS NOT correct because the riddle says "my ones digit is 2 LESS than my tens digit.." and 79 has 7 in tens and 9 in ones.</span>
But what is the expression, you have to tell me so I can do it.
