Answer:

The total number of voters = 10725

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of votes cast was 5 + 8

The no votes ratio is 8/ 13

This question is a a proportion question.

A proportion question is 2 ratios equal to other. Three of the parts of the ratios are known and you are asked to find the fourth. In this question the no votes are known to be 8 and the total is 13.

The total no votes = 6600. So the three parts are known are

  • no vote ratio = 8
  • No vote number =6600
  • total vote ratio part = 13
  • You are asked to find the total number of voters.

8/13 = 6600/x               Cross multiply

8x = 13*6600                Combine the right.

8x = 85800                   Divide by 8

8x/8 = 85800/8            

x = 10725

The total number of voters = 10725

(02.07)Which relationship is always true for the angles x, y, and z of triangle ABC? A triangle is shown with a leg extending pa
zysi [14]
Check out the attached image. I drew what I think your book is showing. The figure on the left is triangle ABC without any extended segments. The figure on the right has segment AB extended shown in red. This forms the exterior angle x

The rule that connects x, y and z together is the remote interior angle theorem. It says that adding two interior angles is going to be equal to the exterior angle that is not touching either interior angle. The "remote" part means "far away" so just think of the two angles that are furthest way or not touching the exterior angle in question. 

In terms of algebra, the rule is
x+y = z

-3(8n - 5) - 2n = 8n - 21
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you do the parentheses so the -3 x 8n= -24 and -3 x -5= 15

so it will look like this. -24n+15-2n=8n-21

Now combine like terms the -24n-2n.

-26n+15=8n-21 now subtract 8n now it will look like this

-34n+15=-21 now -15 from -21

-34n=-36

now if you want n by its self divide -34 and -36

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 52.2 × 4.4 × 2 + 47.8 × 4.4 × 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square frame is the area of the inner square subtracted from the area of the outer square

Which gives;

52.2² - 47.8² = 440

Therefore;

Option A. 52.2² - 47.8² is a correct way of finding the area of the square frame

Option B. 2 × ((52.2×2.2) + (47.8×2.2)) = 440, is  a correct way of finding the area of the square frame

Option C. 52.2 × 4.4 × 2 + 47.8 × 4.4 × 2 = 880, is not a correct way of finding the area of the square frame

The error is the thickness is 2.2 not 4.4

Option D. 100×(52.2 - 47.8) = (52.2 + 47.8) × (52.2 - 47.8) = 52.2² - 47.8² = 440,  is  a correct way of finding the area of the square frame

Which of the following square root of -80
Marta_Voda [28]

You can factor -80 as

-80 = (-1)\cdot 16 \cdot 5

So, we have

\sqrt{-80} = \sqrt{(-1)\cdot 16 \cdot 5}

The square root of a product is the product of the square roots:

\sqrt{-80} = \sqrt{(-1)}\sqrt{16}\sqrt{5}

Since i^2=-1 and 4^2=16, we have

\sqrt{-80} = 4i\sqrt{5}
