Finding x:

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect its angles

So, since US is a diagonal of the given rhombus:

∠RUS = ∠TUS

10x - 23 = 3x + 19 [replacing the given values of the angles]

7x - 23 = 19 [subtracting 3x from both sides]

7x = 42 [adding 23 on both sides]

x = 6 [dividing both sides by 7]

Finding ∠RUT:

We can see that:

∠RUT = ∠RUS + ∠TUS

Since we are given the values of ∠RUS and ∠TUS:

∠RUT = (10x - 23) + (3x + 19)

∠RUT = 13x - 4

We know that x = 6:

∠RUT = 13(6)- 4

∠RUT = 74°

A baseball team had 75 players show up for tryouts last year and this year had 90 players show up for tryouts. Find the percent

BigorU [14]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the original number from the new number: 90-75=15

The increase is 15

Now divide the increase by the original number: 15/75=.20

Then multiply your answer by 100: .20x100=20

The answer is B) multiply 3 by 3. With that 2 on top, that doesn't mean 3 times 2, that means multiply 3 by itself, however many times the number says, if that makes sense. So if there's a 2 above the 3, then that would be 3*3. If it was a 5 instead of a two, that would mean 3*3*3*3*3. Not 3*5.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, there are approximately 8 million people living in Virginia. This is 2.8 million less than 4

grandymaker [24]

Solution: We are given that the population of Virginia is 8 million.

Let x be the population of Nevada.

We are given population of Virginia is 2.8 million less than 4 times the population of Nevada.

$\therefore 4x-2.8=8$
