Find x and y in the figure​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x=10, y=25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in a trapezoid, the two angles on the same leg (the legs are the opposite sides that are not parallel) add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, 4y as well as (2y+3x) are supplementary. We can write this out as

4y + (2y+3x) = 180

6y+3x = 180

Next, the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, as the angles 2y, 4y, and (5x-20) make up a triangle, they add up to 180 degrees. We can write this as

4y + 2y + (5x-20) = 180

6y + 5x -20  =180

Our two equations are thus

6y + 5x - 20 = 180

6y + 3x = 180

If we subtract 6y from both sides in each equation, we can say

5x - 20 = 180-6y

3x = 180-6y

Therefore, we can write

5x-20 = 180-5y = 3x

5x-20=3x

subtract 3x from both sides to make all x variables on the same side

2x-20 = 0

add 20 to both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

2x = 20

divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x = 10

Therefore,

x = 10

6y + 3x = 180

6y + 30 = 180

subtract 30 from both sides to isolate the y and its coefficient

6y = 150

y = 25

How many solutions does this system of Equations have x-2y=2 y=-2x+5​
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

One solution: x=2.4, y=0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2y=2

y=-2x+5​

x-2(-2x+5)=2

x+4x-10=2

5x=2+10=12

x=12:5=2.4

y=-2x+5=-2*2.4+5=-4.8+5=0.2

Which equation can be solved to find one of the missing side lengths in the triangle?
algol13
There are several different equations that can be used to find missing sides, these can be trigonometric functions or the distance formula. The trigonometric functions consist of sine (opposite/hypotenuse), cosine (adjacent/hypotenuse), and tangent (opposite/adjacent. The adjacent side is represented by the side next to the given angle measure, the opposite is the side that is connected to adjacent side and across from the given angle, and the hypotenuse is the diagonal that connects the opposite side to the given angle- most notable because its line isn't straight like the other sides.
 The distance formula is used to find the measurement of missing side lengths in all quadrilaterals, and it's: D = sqrt(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 where x are the x-coordinates of two given points and y are the y-coordinates of the same two given points.

During statistical analysis, the investigator may consider searching for statistical associations among various groups that may
IceJOKER [234]

.

Answer:

This is known as Data dredging.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for any statistical analysis to be significant, a researcher has to first generate a hypothesis.  

Data dredging is trying to uncover patterns in data that can be presented statistically without devising a clear hypothesis by use data mining.  It is also referred to as data fishing or p-hacking.  

In this case any correlation (relationship between cause-effect)will be purely by chance.

Therefore, the investigator is Data dredging
