Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a Pythagorean Triple the hypotenuse and the legs of a right triangle will all be integer values where

c^2=a^2+b^2

In this case, this isn’t even a right triangle as

20^2+30^2=40^2

400+900=1600

1300!=1600

because 1300 does not equal 1600 this is not a Pythagorean Triple.

I don't really like these algebra problems which pretend to be geometry.

The bisector makes two equal angles, so

x/2 + 17 = x - 33

50 = (1/2) x

x = 100

That means ABC = 100/2 + 17 = 67 degrees

CBD = 100 - 33 = 67 degrees, equal so that checks

We're asked for ABC which is 67 + 67 = 134 degrees

Answer: 134°

Nuts.com sells raw almonds for $10 per pound and roasted pistachios for $12 per pound. Christopher spends $70, before taxes and

sp2606 [1]

Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of almonds per pound = $10

Cost of roasted pistachios = $12

Total amount spent = $70

Weight of nuts = 6.3

Let,

Weight of almonds = x

Weight of roasted pistachios = y

According to given statement;

x+y=6.3 Eqn 1

10x+12y=70 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

$10(x+y=6.3)\\10+10y=63\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

$(10x+12y)-(10x+10y)=70-63\\10x+12y-10x-10y=7\\2y=7$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\\y=3.5$

Putting y=3.5 in Eqn 1

$x+3.5=6.3\\x=6.3-3.5\\x=2.8$

Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.
