1. The answer is 729 (Question 2 idk)
Total distance covered by <span>George and Carmen
</span>x + y = 350
And they biked 80 kilometers more than they bussed
<span>80 + y = x </span>
Putting the value of x=80 + y in <span>x + y = 350:
</span>We get:
<span>80 + y + y = 350 </span>
<span>2y = 270 </span>
<span>y = 135 km</span>
<span>Substituting y = 135 in x + y = 350 </span>
<span>x + 135 = 350</span>
<span>x = 215 km </span>
Thus George and Carmen biked for 215 km and bussed for 135 km.
Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Answer:
70° and 20°
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the measure of one angle then x + 50 is the measure of the other angle, thus
x + 50 + x = 90
2x + 50 = 90 ( subtract 50 from both sides )
2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 20
The smallest angle is 20° and the other angle is 20 + 50 = 70°
Keep note of these things before we start:
-Of is a keyword that tells us multiplication is being done
-x = total number of pages
-32% = 32/100 = .32
Okay, here we go:
32% of total number of pages = 80
.32 of x = 80
.32*x = 80
.32x = 80
.32x/.32 = 80/.32
x = 250
There are 250 pages in total in Katie's book.
To find out how many pages she has to read (y), subtract the pages read from the total:
TOTAL - PAGES READ = PAGES LEFT TO READ
250 - 80 = y
170 = y
Katie has 170 pages left to read
Hope this helps!
