Answer:

A = 90, B =18

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

The weight of meteorite A is five times the weight of meteorite B, ill get this equation

A = 5B

if their sums of their weights is 108 tons, find the weight of each, ill get this equation

A+B = 108

Now since I have two equation, u just have to solve it simultaneously

A = 5B ( equation 1)

A+ B = 108 (equation 2)

From equation 2

A+B = 108

B = 108 - A ( equation 3)

Now ill put equation 3 into equation one

A = 5B

A = 5 (108 - A)

A = 540 - 5A

6A = 540

A = 90

Now since u know A = 90, just choose any of the equations the question gave u, either equation 1 or 2, they will give u the same answers, I'll prove it to u

Equation 1

A =5B

90 = 5B

B = 90/5

= 18

Equation 2

A+B = 108

90 + B = 108

B = 108 - 90

= 18

So at the end, A = 90 ton, B = 18 ton

What is the slope of the line 6x + y = 24?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to get it in Point-Slope form, or

y = mx + b

Isolate y by subtracting 6x

You are left with:

y = -6x + 24

M is the slope, so in this case, it is -6

Let x be the number of successes throughout n independent repetitions of a random experiment having probability of success p=1/4
Llana [10]

To answer problems like this you have to use binomial:

P (x > 1) = 1 – p (0 < x < 1) > .7 

So:

1 – p (0) – p (1) > .7 

1 – (3/ 4) ^n – (3/ 4) ^n (n – 1 ) (1/ 4) > .7 

Therefore n > 5.185, and the smallest value of n so that we can satisfy the given condition is 6 (rounded up)

Which statement is true of triangles P and Q? Triangle P has side lengths of 6, 8, 10 and angle measures of 53.1 degrees, 90 deg
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Triangle P and Triangle Q are mathematically similar shapes (?).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, so the question asks which statement is true, given the following information, but you haven't written what statements we can choose from.

After reading the information, we can see that Triangle Q is the same shape as Triangle P but just larger.

I'm assuming that one of the statements given is about Triangle P and Triangle Q being mathematically similar shapes?

If you need to show your working out, here it is:

18 ÷ 6 = 3

24 ÷ 8 = 3

30 ÷ 10 = 3

All the angles are the same.

This means that the length scale factor is +3 from Triangle P to Triangle Q, the area scale factor is +9 (because 3 x 3 = 9) from Triangle P to Triangle Q, and that the two shapes are mathematically similar.

*DISCLAIMER* The majority of question askers on Brainly seem to be from the US, and I'm not, so the way I work things out / the mathematical terms I use might be different. Sorry!

Hope this helped anyway!

Bluey :)
