Answer:

Contrapositive: if a polygon does not have more than 3 sides, then it is a triangle. Since it is a true statement, the contrapositive is a true statement, the original statement must be a true statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original statement: if a polygon has more than three sides, then it is not a triangle.

Let P = a polygon has more than three sides

Let Q = it is not a triangle

Conditional statement: If P, then Q

Contrapositive statement: if not P, then not Q.

If a conditional statement is true, then the contrapositive is true.

If a contrapositive statement is true, then the contrapositive is true

The burges are moving across the country .Mr burges leaves 3 hours before mrs.burges. If he averages 50 mph and she averages 70
kirill [66]

10.5 hours

let t be time then distance travelled by both is

Mr Burges ⇔ d = 50t ( distance = speed × time )

Mrs Burges ⇒ d = 70(t - 3)

At the point of overtaking both will have travelled the same distance

equating their distance and solving for t

70(t - 3) = 50t

70t - 210 = 50t ( subtract 50t from both sides )

20t - 210 = 0 ( add 210 to both sides )

20t = 210 ( divide both sides by 20 )

t = 10.5 hours

If 12y=75+5x+2x-1. What is the value of x
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

x = \frac{12y - 74}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

12y = 75 + 5x + 2x - 1

combine like terms:

12y = 74 + 7x

subtract 74 from both sides:

7x = 12y - 74

divide both sides by 7:

x = \frac{12y - 74}{7}
