<h3>Answer:  37</h3>

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

Work Shown:

We have a triangle with sides a,b,c such that

  • a = 17
  • b = 20
  • c = unknown

The third side c can be represented by this inequality

b-a < c < b+a

which is a modified form of the triangle inequality theorem.

Plug in the given values to get

b-a < c < b+a

20-17 < c < 20+17

3 < c < 37

The third side length is between 3 and 37; it cannot equal 3, and it cannot equal 37. So we exclude both endpoints.

Of the answer choices, the values {7,20, 12} are in the range 3 < c < 37.

The value c = 37 is not in the range 3 < c < 37 because we can't have the third side equal to either endpoint. Otherwise, we get a straight line instead of a triangle forming.

So that's why 37 is the only possible answer here.

In the equation 0.75s-5/8 = 44, how do you combine the like terms?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given equation, the "like terms" are the constants 5/8 and 44.

It simplifies the math if we eliminate the fractions first.  Note that 0.75 = 6/8, so now we have:

8(6/8)s - 8(5/8) = 44).

Multiplying all three terms by 8 (above) yields

8(6s) - 8(5) = 8(44), or

48s              = 8(44 + 5), or 48s = 8(49)

Dividing both sides by 48 yields s:   s = 8(49/48)

Review "like terms:"  These are terms that have at least one characteristic in common.  5/8 and 44 are like terms because they are only constants (no variables are present).  We must add 5/8 and 44.   0.75s does not have a "like term" in the given equation.

Use common denominators to determine whether the ratios form a proportion.
AURORKA [14]
They are not in proportion, since its 6:9 round it down (2:3) so pretend the 6 are apples and the 9 are oranges

Every 2 apples there are 3 oranges

So having 9 apples what is that?

2 x ? = 9

2 x 4.5 = 9

So if you want to keep 2:3 you have you times the oranges by 4.5 aswell!

3 x 4.5 = 13.5

So since it is 9:12 not 9:13.5 they are not in proportion

Answer:

The number of movies purchased is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

40.00 + 3.50 = 43.50

43.50 + 3.50 = 47.00

47.00 + 3.50 = 50.50

50.50 + 3.50 = 54.00

54.00 + 3.50 = 57.50

so if you add 3.50 to 40, 5 times you'll get 57.50

Hope it helped

Write the decimal as a percent of 0.768
Nikitich [7]

To convert from decimal to percent, just multiply the decimal value by 100. In this example we have: 0.768 × 100 = 76.8%

The ease way:

1) Move the decimal point two places to the right: 0.768 → 7.68 → 76.8.

2) Add a % sign: 76.8%

"<u>Answer: 76.8%"</u>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
