Let x = 1st number and y = 2nd number
Using the sentences:
The sum of two numbers is 51:  x + y = 51
one fourth of one number exceeds one fifth of another number by 6:
(1/4)x > (1/5)y + 6

This means y is the smaller number.
From x + y = 51 → x = 51 - y
Plug into the inequality
(1/4)(51 - y) > (1/5) y + 6
Multiply each side by 20
5(51 - y) > 4y + 120
251 - 5y > 4y + 120 
-9y > -131
y < \frac{131}{9}

you are making curtains by alternating strips of solid colored fabric and patterned fabric. the solid colored fabric costs 99¢ p
weeeeeb [17]
Hello, 

to find the total cost (c) of the colored strips we have to multiply the number of strips (n) by the cost of each color strip (99¢), that as an algebraic function is:

\boxed{c= n*99} [¢]

Now, if we use 3 solid color strips, that means that we use 4 patterned strips, so:

Cost=3*0.99+4*1.25 \\ \boxed{Cost= 7.97}

Answer: c=n*99   and   Cost per curtain= $7.97

On Monday a Farmer sold 25196 pounds of potatoes on tuesday he sold 18023pounds on Wednesday he sold some more potatoes in all h
arlik [135]

Answer:

<em>estimated sales on Wednesday is 19000 pounds.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

On Monday, he sold 25196 pounds. Estimated to the nearest thousand that is 25000 pounds.

On Tuesday, he sold 18023 pounds. Estimated to the nearest thousand, that is 18000 pounds

Wednesday's sales is unknown. We designate as x

All in all he sold 62409. Estimated to the nearest thousand, that is 62000

The sales on Monday, plus sales on  Tuesday, plus sales on Wednesday, must all sum up to the total sales.

25000 + 18000 + x = 62000

43000 + x = 62000

x = 62000 - 43000 = 19000

therefore <em>estimated sales on Wednesday is 19000 pounds.</em>

Find all the missing sides and angles of this triangle,
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

See solutions below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram;

AC = opposite

AB = 7 = hypotenuse

Angle of elevation = 70 degrees

Using SOH CAH TOA

Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin theta = AC/AB

Sin 70 = AC/7

AC = 7sin70

AC = 7(0.9397)

AC = 6.58

Similarly

tan 70 = AC/BC

tan 70 = 6.58/BC

BC = 6.58/tan70

BC = 6.58/2.7475

BC = 2.39

tan m<A = BC/AC

tanm<A = 2.39/6.58

tan m<A = 0.3632

m<A = 19.96degrees
