Answer:

  y = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle sum theorem tells you the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. You also know that the sum of the angles of a linear pair is 180°.

Let z represent the measure of the unmarked interior angle at the the lower left of the triangle shown. Then we have ...

  110° + z = 180° . . . . angles of a linear pair are supplementary

  z +2x +70° = 180° . . . Angle Sum theorem

Then we can write ...

  110° +z = z +2x +70°

  110° = 2x +70° . . . . . the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

  40° = 2x . . . . . . . . . subtract 70°

  20° = x

Similarly, we have ...

  110° = x + y . . . . . . . exterior angle = sum of remote interior angles

  110° -20° = y = 90° . . . . subtract x=20°

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may be able to get there a lot faster by recognizing z = 180° -110° = 70°, hence the triangle is isosceles. The angle bisector creating angles x is then also an altitude, hence y = 90°.

Answer:

y = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle sum theorem tells you the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. You also know that the sum of the angles of a linear pair is 180°.

Let z represent the measure of the unmarked interior angle at the the lower left of the triangle shown. Then we have ...

110° + z = 180°. are supplementary angles of a linear pair

z +2x +70° = 180°...Angle Sum theorem

Then we can write ...

110° +z = z +2x +70°

110° 2x +70°..... the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

40° = 2x......... subtract 70°

20° = x

Similarly, we have ...

110° = x+y....... exterior angle = sum of remote interior angles

40° = 2x.

20° = x

Similarly, we have ...

110° = x + y ....... exterior angle = sum of remote interior angles

110° -20° y = 90°. .... subtract x=20°

Janice has $2.30 made up of dimes, pennies and quarters. She has as many dimes as pennies and she has 17 coins in all. How many
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:The equation would be 230 = 25y + 10x + 1x or 230 = 25y + 11x

You would then need to solve for x and y, which I forget how to do with 2 variables but since we're working with small numbers what I would do is continuously subtract 25 from 230 until the remainder is divisible by 11.

230 - 25*7 = 55 = 11*5

x = 5

Ok, adding the equation 2x+y = 17 you will now be able to solve for the two variables using a system of equations.

yes, you can come up with an equation. actually, you can come up several equations to generate a system of equations.

your first equation is correct.

(1) 25q + 10d + 1p = 230

now, you're told that the number of dimes equals the number of pennies. that just means, in symbols:

(2) d = p

finally, you're told that you have 17 coins in all, i.e.:

(3) q + d + p = 17

you now have three equations and three unknowns. use (2) to reduce (1) and (3).

(1′) 25q + 11d = 230

(3′) q + 2d = 17

now solve for the three variables.

Answer:

\frac{5x - 8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the LCM of the denominators and then solve:

\frac{4x - 5}{2} - \frac{2x - 1}{6} \\\\

\frac{4x - 5}{2} - \frac{2x - 1}{6} \\\\\frac{3(4x - 5) - 2x - 1}{6} \\\\\frac{12x - 15 - 2x - 1}{6}\\\\\frac{10x - 16}{6}\\\\ \frac{2(5x - 8)}{2 * 3} \\\\ \frac{5x - 8}{3}
