Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

50÷3=16R2

Second largest multiple of 3 that is smaller than 50=45

45÷3=15 groups of 3 people each

50-45=5

         =1 group of 5 people

Greatest possible number of groups=15+1

                                                            =16

31. Equation is y = (-2/5)x + 9/5
32. Obtuse scalene triangle
----------------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown
Problem 21) 
Three noncollinear points determine 3*2 = 6 pairings but half of those pairings are repeats, so we have 6/2 = 3 unique groups forming 3 lines (think of a triangle and its sides)
The three noncollinear points form a single plane. This is simply an axiom. 
-----------------
Problem 22) 
Original Conditional is in the form If P, then Q
The converse is the flip of that. So we go to If Q, then P.
So we have
Original Conditional: "If two quadrilaterals are squares, then they are similar"
Converse: "If two quadrilaterals are similar, then they are squares"
-----------------
Problem 23) 
P is between Q and R. By the segment addition postulate, we know
QP+PR = QR
We're given PQ or QP to be 10.2 and we know that QR = 12.8, so this means,
QP+PR = QR
10.2+PR = 12.8
10.2+PR-10.2 = 12.8-10.2
PR = 2.6
-----------------
Problem 24) 
Add up the x coordinates and divide by 2: (x1+x2)/2 = (8+(-2))/2 = 6/2 = 3
Add up the y coordinates and divide by 2: (y1+y2)/2 = (-6+4)/2 = -2/2 = -1
Therefore the midpoint is (3,-1)
-----------------
Problem 25) 
Angle DXE = 36 (given)
Angle CXD = angle DXE (definition of bisection)
Angle CXD = 36
Angle CXE = (angle CXD)+(angle DXE)
Angle CXE = 36+36
Angle CXE = 72
Angle BXE = 2*(angle CXE) ... since XC bisects angle BXE
Angle BXE = 2*72
Angle BXE = 144
Angle BXD = (angle BXE) - (angle DXE)
Angle BXD = 144 - 36
Angle BXD = 108
-----------------
Problem 26) 
From problem 25, we found that Angle CXE = 72. Since XC cuts angle BXE in half, and the other angle is BXC, this means 
Angle BXE = angle CXE = 72 degrees
Now subtract that from 90
90 - (angle BXE) = 90 - 72 = 18
The complement is 18 degrees
-----------------
Problem 27) 
A+B+C = 180
x+x+120 = 180
2x+120 = 180
2x+120-120 = 180-120
2x = 60
2x/2 = 60/2
x = 30
-----------------
Problem 28) 
Angle 5 and angle 7 are corresponding angles. They are located on the same side of the transversal line. They both correspond to the same side of their respective parallel line counterparts. Both are on the right side of the parallel line they are attached to.
-----------------
Problem 29) 
The statement in its current form is False. One way to fix it is to change the first underlined term from "congruent" to "supplementary". Angle 3 and angle 2 are same side interior angles which add up to 180 degrees. 
-----------------
Problem 30) 
Slope of AB = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Slope of AB = (-2-6)/(-2-10)
Slope of AB = -8/(-12)
Slope of AB = 2/3
Slope of CD = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Slope of CD = (2-6)/(6-(-6))
Slope of CD = -4/12
Slope of CD = -1/3
Multiply the slopes:
(Slope of AB)*(Slope of BC) = (2/3)*(-1/3) = -2/9
The result is NOT equal to -1, so the lines are NOT perpendicular
The two slopes are NOT equal, so the lines are NOT parallel
So the answer is "neither"
-----------------
Problem 31) 
Anything parallel to 2x+5y = 12 is of the form 2x+5y = C where C is some fixed number
Plug in the given point (x,y) = (2,1) to find C
2x+5y = C
2*2+5*1 = C
4+5 = C
9 = C
C = 9
So we go from 2x+5y = C to 2x+5y = 9. Now solve for y
2x+5y = 9
2x+5y-2x = 9-2x
5y = -2x+9
5y/5 = (-2x+9)/5
y = (-2/5)x + 9/5
-----------------
Problem 32) 
A+B+C = 180
16+B+64 = 180
B+80 = 180
B+80-80 = 180-80
B = 100
The angle B is 100 degrees, which is larger than 90 degrees. We have an obtuse triangle because of this fact.
All three angles (16, 64, 80) are different, so the side lengths are different. The three different side lengths means we have a scalene triangle.

Walmart has 260 chairs on sale. The store sells 30% of its chairs by the end of the day. How many chairs did Walmart not sell th
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

182 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

260 * 0.3 = 78

If Walmart sells 78 chairs today, we need to subtract 78 from 260 to find how many are left

260 - 78 = 182

There are 182 chairs left

If 9a+6b+4c=7, what is -24b-16c-36a
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

-24b - 16c - 36a = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the initial equation of 9a + 6b + 4c = 7 and looking at the second equation of -24b - 16c - 36a, I notice that all of the coefficients of the variables have been multiplied by a factor of -4.  Since all of the factors have been multiplied by the same factor, multiplied the answer to the equation by a -4 as well will give us the answer to the problem.  Since the original answer is 7, multiplying this answer by a factor of -4:  (7)(-4) = -28.
