A flock of birds was flying around a tree. When they landed, three birds to a branch, no branches were left and one bird had to

trapecia [35]

Answer: 5 branches and 16 birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of birds is B, and the number of branches is N.

First we have the equation:

B = 3*N + 1

(3 birds per branch + 1 that was flying around)

for the second equation we have:

B = 4*(N - 1)

(4 birds per branch, but one branch had no birds on it, so there are N -1 branches used)

now we can write:

3*N + 1 = 4*(N - 1)

3*N + 1 = 4*N - 4

4 + 1 = 4*N - 3*N

5 = N

So we had 5 branches, now we can replace it in one of the equations and find the number of birds.

B = 3*N + 1 = 3*5 + 1 = 16

If two triangles are congruent, which of the following statements must be

Burka [1]

Answer:

[A] The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent.

[B] The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent.

[C] The triangles have the same size.

[D] The triangles have the same shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

SAS which it is stands for {side, angle, side} and the meaning of SAS is that we have two triangles where we see two sides and the included angle are equal.

In Order for two triangles to be congruent must have the following below:

Two figures are said to be congruent if they have same size and same shape.
If two figure are congruent that means the corresponding sides will also be congruent.
If two figure are congruent that means the the corresponding angles will also be congruent.

Hence, base on the given all the following are correct:

A. The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent. √

B. The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent. √

C. The triangles have the same size. √

D. The triangles have the same shape. √

Justine charges $25 to wash a dog. She washed 5 dogs on Saturday and then some more on Sunday. She made $325 for the weekend. Ho

Marrrta [24]

Answer

• A. Equation: 25(5 + x) = 325

,

• B. Answer: 8 dogs

Explanation

Given

• Charge to wash a dog: $25.

• She washed 5 dogs on Saturday and then some more on Sunday.

• She made $325 for the weekend.

Procedure

She charges $25 per wash, she made $325 for the weekend, and we know that on Saturday she washed 5 dogs, but we don't know how many she washed on Sunday. Thus, we have to build an equation in which the number of dogs washed on Sunday is represented by x (as we do not know the real number).

Considering that the total money made has to be equal to the multiplication of the charge times the dogs washed, the equation is:
