Total number of rose and holly bushes that I had initially = 20

<h3>System of linear equations</h3>

Let the initial number of rose bushes be r

Let the initial number of holly bushes be h

I had 3 times as many rose bushes as holly bushes in my garden

r  =  3h......................(1)

After moving seven of my rose bushes to my grandfather’s garden, the remaining number of rose bushes = r - 7

After planting 11 new holly bushes in my garden, the new number of holly bushes = h + 11

Now my garden has half as many rose bushes as holly bushes

r - 7   =  0.5(h  +  11)

r  =  0.5h  +  5.5 + 7

r  =  0.5h  +  12.5...............(2)

Compare equations (1) and (2)

3h  =  0.5h  +  12.5

3h - 0.5h  =  12.5

2.5h  =  12.5

h   =  12.5/2.5

h  =   5

Substitute h = 5 into equation (1)

r  =  3h

r  = 3(5)

r  =  15

Total number of rose and holly bushes that I had initially = h + r

Total number of rose and holly bushes that I had initially = 5 + 15

Total number of rose and holly bushes that I had initially = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cylinder formula pi*r²*h

radius of 9cm is 4.5 as 9/2

so 4.5²*15 is 303.75cm

303.75*pi is 303.75picm³

BC has endpoints B(-3,-5) and C(12,12). FInd the coordinates of the midpoint of BC
forsale [732]

Answer:

(9/2, 7/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to remember how to do this problem is to average the x-coordinates and average the y-coordinates.

So, in your problem (-3 + 12)/2 = 9/2   and  (-5 + 12)/2 = 7/2

The midpoint is (9/2, 7/2)

M∠A = 75 + 5x
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

For a parallelogram m < A = m < C so:-

75 + 5x = 87 + 3x

2x = 12

x = 6  

and m< A = 75 + 30 = 105

and m < C = 87 + 18 = 105

Now if the other 2 angles are  = 75 degrees( that is the same side angles add up to 180 degrees) we have proved that it is a parallelogram.

m < B = m < D

111 - 6x = 39 + 6x

-12x = -72

x = 6

m < B = 111 - 36 = 75 and m < D = 39 + 36 = 75

So this has been proved.
