Answer:
x = 15
y = 40

Explanation:
1- getting the value of x:
We are given that the two sides (x-4) and (11) are equal. This means that:
x - 4 = 11
x = 11 + 4 
x = 15
2- getting the value of y:
For any polygon, the sum of measures of its angles is equal to (n-2)*180 where n is the number of sides.
The given is a trapezoid, therefore, it has n - 4
sum of its interior angles = (4-2)*180 = 360
We are given that each two opposite angles are equal.
Therefore:
360 = 2 (4y - 20) + 2y
360/2 = 4y - 20 + y
180 = 5y - 28
200 = 5y
y = 200/5
y = 40

Hope this helps :)

X = 15

Y= 34

11 + 4 = 15

360 = 2(4y-20) + 2y
360 = 10y -20
340 = 10y
34 = y

A survey of 100 people found that 35 people exercise in
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Jim's claim is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Total survey=100 people

Morning exercise=35 people

Afternoon exercise=45 people

Night exercise=20 people

Morning exercise : Total survey

=35 : 100

Afternoon exercise : Total survey

=45 : 100

Night exercise : Total survey

=20 : 100

Jim's claim is correct because in finding the ratio, one has to relate it with the total people involved in the survey.

Tara's claim however seems to relate one variable with two other variables

Example:

35 : 55

Morning exercise : (morning exercise + night exercise)

35 : (35+20)

35 : 55

How do i solve for x if 6x - 6 - 7x =6
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

X = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x - 12  =   -1 • (x + 12)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.1      Solve  :    -x-12 = 0

Add  12  to both sides of the equation :

                     -x = 12

Please said thanks

How can you determine the difference between an arithmetic and geometric sequence if you are given the first 4 terms of the sequ
Bess [88]
Compute successive differences of the terms.

If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.

If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.


Example of arithmetic sequence:
  1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.

Example of geometric sequence:
  1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
