1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.
-3.073 that is the correct answer
Answer:
72.7
Step-by-step explanation:
First multiply 72 by 10
because 72 is 72 10s, making it a whole number.
then add 720 (72 times 10) to 7.
then all of that over 10.
then just divide.
727/10
72.7
this is what you do for all mixed numbers like that one.
Center of rhombus bisects 90°.
Sum of angles in triangle = 180°
x + x + 14 + 90 = 180
2x + 104 = 180
2 (x + 52) = 180
x = (180 ÷ 2) - 52
x = 90 - 52
x = 38°
Answer:
By using the energy conservation law, the input energy must be equivalent to the output energy. If you measured output energy is lower than your input energy, you have lost that difference of energy either in mechanical inefficiency (friction, heat, etc.) or an energy sink.
Thus, the energy not output by the machine is lost in the process within the machine.
Cheers.
