Answer:
Let x = the smaller number
Let 3x + 15 = the larger number
x + 3x + 15 = 63
4x = 48
x = 12
3(12) + 15 = 51
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 104 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
A line like this will always have a measure of 180 degrees, therefore when the two sides are combined, it must equal 180, which means you can set up an equation and x can be determined
72 + x + 4 = 180
76 + x = 180
-76 -76
x = 104 degrees
Hope this helps!
x = amount of 21% alloy
y = amount of 50% alloy
The metallurgist wants a combination weighing a total of 44 lb, so
x + y = 44
Each pound of either alloy contributes either 0.21 or 0.5 pound of titanium. The final product needs to be comprised of 37% titanium; weighing at 44 lb, this means it should contain 0.37 * 44 = 16.28 lb. So
0.21x + 0.5y = 16.28
From the first equation,
x + y = 44 ==> y = 44 - x
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x:
0.21x + 0.5(44 - x) = 16.28
-0.29x = -5.72 ==> x = 19.72
Substitute this into the first equation to solve for y:
19.72 + y = 44 ==> y = 24.28
Answer:
y=7 or 7 seven degrees Celsius.

Answer:
Area = 34. 81 yd^2
Perimeter = 86.6 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Shape of Mrs. Johnson's plot = square
All sides of a square are of equal length
Measure of each side = 5.9 yd
A.) Area of plot
Area of plot = Area of a square
Area of a square(A) = a^2
Where a = side length
A = 5.9^2
A = 34.81 yd^2
B) Perimeter of Basil plot = Perimeter of a square
Converting yard to feet
1 yard = 3feets
Therefore,
5.9 yards = (3 * 5.9) = 17.7 feets
Fence is 2ft from the garden on each side,
Length of fence on each side = (2 + 17.7 + 2) Feets = 21.7 Feets
Perimeter of a square (P) = 4a
Where a = side length
P = 4 × 21.7
P = 86.6 feets
