Answer:

Maddie got 810 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll call Maddie's votes x, and her opponent's votes y.

x + y = 1485

x = y + 0.20y (because she got the same number of votes as her opponent, PLUS another 20% of that number. Divide 20% by 100 to get the decimal equivalent) This can also be written as x = 1.2y

So our system is

x + y = 1485 and

x = 1.2y

Substitute the second equation's value for x into the first equation:

1.2y + y = 1485 then solve for y

2.2y = 1485

divide both sides by 2.2

y = 675

substitute that in and solve for x

x + y =1485

x + 675 = 1485

subtract 675 from both sides

x = 810

Please let me know if you have questions on this answer. Hope it helps.

Answer:

y = 1.44

Step-by-step explanation:

What are you aiming to do here? Please share all instructions with each problem.

If you want to solve 4.5/y = 12.5/4 for y: Multiply both sides by 4y:

18 = 12.5y. Then y = 1.44

Convert the rectangular coordinates (-9, 3V3) into polar form. Express the angle

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$(6\sqrt{3},\,\frac{5\pi}{6})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius r can be found from the relationship

$r^2=x^2+y^2\\r^2=(-9)^2+(3\sqrt{3})^2\\r^2=81+27=108\\r=\sqrt{108}\\r=6\sqrt{3}$

The point is in Quadrant II (-, +), so use the inverse cosine function to find the angle.

$\cos{\theta}=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{-9}{6\sqrt{3}}\\\cos{\theta}=-\frac{9}{6\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\\\cos{\theta}=-\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{6\cdot3}\\\cos{\theta}=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\\cos^{-1}\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}}=\frac{5\pi}{6}$
