Two times the quantity of eight times a number plus two is equal to three the quantity of two times the same number minus seven

Mathematics
1 answer:
Effectus [21]3 years ago
7 0

The unknown number is - 2.5

Let the number = n

The equation will be formed as follows;

  • eight times a number plus two = 8n + 2
  • Two times the quantity of eight times a number plus two = 2(8n + 2)
  • two times the same number minus seven = 2n - 7
  • three the quantity of two times the same number minus seven = 3(2n-7)

Our final equation becomes;

2(8n + 2) = 3(2n-7)

Simplify as follow, to determine the unknown number;

16n + 4 = 6n - 21

16n - 6n = -25

10n = -25

n = -2.5

Thus, the unknown number is - 2.5

Suppose that ABCD is a trapezoid, with AB parallel to CD, and diagonals AC and BD intersecting at P. Explain why (a) triangles A
lora16 [44]

Answer:

A trapezoid ABCD is show below,

AB || CD

AC and BD are diagonals intersecting at P.

(a)

In Δ ABC and ABD,

Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD

Because,

Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 × Base × Height

Base = AB

Height = h, which is same for both the triangle that's why,

Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD

(b)

As we know that,

Area of triangle ABC = Area of triangle ABD

On subtracting the area of triangle ABP from both the triangles, we get

Area of triangle ABC - area of triangle ABP = Area of triangle ABD - area of triangle ABP

⇒ area of triangle BCP = area of triangle DAP

Hence, triangles BCP and DAP have the same area.

(c)

In triangle ABP and CDP,

∠ABP = ∠CDP (opposite interior angles are equal between two parallel lines)

∠APB = ∠CPD (opposite angles are equal)

∠BAP = ∠DCP (opposite interior angles are equal between two parallel lines)

Therefore,

By AAA similarity

Triangles ABP and CDP are similar.

(d)

In triangle BCP and DAP,

Only ∠BCP = ∠APD (opposite angles are equal).

Therefore,

Triangles BCP and DAP need not be similar.

By what percent will the product of two numbers change, if the first number increases by 70%, while the second number decreases
erica [24]

Answer:

The product of two numbers changes by 2% when the first number increases by 70%, while the second number decreases by 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first number be x and second number be y .

Then product of x and y = xy  ......(1)

Given the first number increases by 70%, while the second number decreases by 40% this means,

x is increased  by 70%  that is

increased value of x = x + 0.7(x) = 1.7 x

Similarly y is decreases by 40% that is

decreased value of y = y - 0.4(y) = 0.6y

New product will be = (increased value of x )( decreased value of y)

                                  = (1.7x)(0.6y)

                                  =1.02xy

Changed Percentage = \dfrac{\text{new value - original value}}{{\text{original value}}}\times 100

Substitute the values, we get,

Changed Percentage = \frac{1.02xy-xy}{xy}\times 100

Changed Percentage = \frac{0.02xy}{xy}\times 100

Changed Percentage = 0.02\times 100

Changed Percentage = 2\%

Thus, the product of two numbers changes by 2% when the first number increases by 70%, while the second number decreases by 40%.
