Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

"Six times the quantity, x-2, is 24" can be rewritten symbolically as

6(x - 2) = 24.  We are to solve this for x.

To do that, divide both sides of the above equation by 6, to isolate x - 2:

x - 2 = 4

Adding 2 to both sides isolates x:  x = 6

A circle has a sector with area 27 and central angle of 120
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

81π

Step-by-step explanation:

-The sum of central angles in a  circle add up to 360°.

-Let x be the area of the circle.

-Given the area of a 120° is 27π, the circles area can be calculated as:

A=27\pi\\\\120\textdegree=27\pi\\360\textdegree=x\\\\\therefore x=\frac{360\textdegree\times 27\pi}{120\textdegree}\\\\=3\times 27\pi\\\\=81\pi

Hence, the area of the circle is 81π

The first- and second-year enrollment values for a technical school are shown in the table below: Enrollment at a Technical Scho
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

  • <u><em>The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012. </em></u>

Explanation:

<u>Rewrite the table and the choices for better understanding:</u>

<em>Enrollment at a Technical School </em>

Year (x)       First Year f(x)      Second Year s(x)

2009                  785                        756

2010                   740                        785

2011                    690                        710

2012                   732                         732

2013                   781                          755

Which of the following statements is true based on the data in the table?

  • The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012.
  • The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 732.
  • The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2011.
  • The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 710.

<h2>Solution</h2>

The question requires to find which of the options represents the solution to f(x) = s(x).

That means that you must find the year (value of x) for which the two functions, the enrollment the first year, f(x), and the enrollment the second year s(x), are equal.

The table shows that the values of f(x) and s(x) are equal to 732 (students enrolled) in the year 2012,<em> x = 2012. </em>

Thus, the correct choice is the third one:

  • The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012.

3(6x+3) - (8-x) simplify
sergeinik [125]

Answer: <em>10 + 9 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>1. Distribute: 3(6+3) - (8-x) = 18 + 9 - (8)</em>

<em>2. Eliminate redundant parentheses: 18 + 9 - (8) = 18 + 9 - 1 ⋅ 8</em>

<em>3. Multiply the numbers: 18 + 9 - 1 ⋅ 8  = 18 + 9 - 8 </em>

4. Combine like terms: 18 + 9 - 8 = 10 + 9

<em>⋅</em>

Please helppppp meeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

The option is C i.e 115°, 65°. proof is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ABCD is a quadrilateral.

m∠ A = 100 + 5x

m∠ B = 77 - 4y

m∠ C = 106 + 3x

m∠ D = 47 + 6y

To Prove:

ABCD is a parallelogram if opposing angles are congruent by finding the measures of angles.

m∠ A = m∠ C and

m∠ B = m∠ D

Proof:

ABCD is a quadrilateral and is a parallelogram if opposing angles are congruent.

∴ m∠ A = m∠ C

On substituting the given values we get

∴  100 + 5x  = 106 +3x

∴ 5x-3x=106-100\\\\2x=6\\\\x =\frac{6}{2} \\\\x=3

m∠ A = 100 + 5x = 100 + 5 × 3 =100 + 15 = 115°

m∠ C = 106 + 3x = 106 + 3 ×3 =106 + 9 = 115°

∴  m∠ A = m∠ C = 115°

Similarly,

∴ m∠ B = m∠ D

77 - 4y = 47 + 6y

10y = 77 - 47

10y =30

∴y=\frac{30}{10} \\y = 3\\

m∠ B = 77 - 4y =77 - 4 × 3 = 77 - 12 = 65°

m∠ D = 47 + 6y = 47 + 6 × 3 = 47 + 18 = 65°

∴ m∠ B = m∠ D = 65°

Therefore the option is C i.e 115°, 65°
