Answer:

Michael 24

Noor 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 4:7

The initial quatity is 4x and 7x

After giving 3 shares the quatities are

4x - 3 and 7x + 3

Set equal to the new ratio

(4x - 3) / (7x + 3) = 7 / 15

Cross multiply

15(4x - 3) = 7(7x + 3)

Distribute

60x - 45 = 49x + 21

Add 45 to both sides

60x = 49x + 66

Subtract 49x from both sides

11x = 66

Divide both sides by 11

x = 6

Therefor

4x = 4*6 = 24 <–––– Michael's initial quantity

7x = 7*6 = 42 <–––– Noor's initial quantity

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

the second one is correct. the first one is wrong because shape C also has those angles. the third one is wrong because shape C also has no perpendicular sides. the fourth one is wrong because shape C also has 2 pairs of angles with the same measure.

For the filming of a recent sci-fi movie, a model spaceship made to a scale of 1:16 was used. In the movie, the ship is supposed
Lunna [17]

Answer: 6.5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The model of the spaceship was made to a scale of 1:16. Assuming the same unit of measurement used in the actual spaceship was also used in the model space ship and it was in feets. This means 1 foot on the model spaceship represented 16 feets on the actual spaceship.

In the movie, the ship is supposed to be 104 feet long. Let x be the corresponding length on the model. Therefore,

1:16 = x:104

1/16 = x/104

16x = 104

x = 104/16 = 6.5feets

So the length of the model is 6.5 feets

Solve for x: −2x + 5 &lt; 7
hoa [83]
-2x + 5 < 7

-2x + 5 < 7
<u>        -5     -5   </u>       deduct 5 from both sides
-2x       < 2
<u>÷ -2        ÷ -2  </u>       divide both sides by negative 2. Because of the division 
 x          > -1          using a negative number, the sign is then reversed.
                             from < it becomes >.

The value of x should be greater than -1. It can be 0, 1, 2, so on... 

To check: Revert back to the original sign which is <.

x = 1
-
2x + 5 < 7
-2(1) + 5 < 7
-2 + 5 < 7
3 < 7
