<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
I've drawn a graph in order to a better understanding of this problem. We know that:
BC is perpendicular to AC
∠DBE = 2x - 1
∠CBE = 5x - 42
Let's call the intersection of line BC and AC the point P, so:
∠P=90°
And points B, P and C form the triangle ΔBPC. On the other hand, ∠CBE and ∠PCB are Alternate Interior Angles, so:
∠PCB = ∠CBE = 5x - 42
Moreover:
∠PBC = 2x - 1 - (5x - 42)
∠PBC = 2x - 1 - 5x + 42
∠PBC = -3x + 41
The internal angles of any triangle add up to 180°. Hence for ΔBPC:
90° + ∠PBC + ∠PCB = 180°
90° - 3x + 41 + 5x - 42 = 180°
2x + 89 = 180
2x = 91
x = 45.5°
Answer:
A. $301
B. $721
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $x be the amount of money they raised.
Rowena tried to put the $1 bills into two equal piles and found one left over at the end, then
Polly tried to put the $1 bills into three equal piles and found one left over at the end, then
Frustrated, they tried 4, 5, and 6 equal piles and each time had $1 left over, then
Finally Rowena put all the bills evenly into 7 equal piles, and none were left over, then
This means is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 without remainder, so
Hence,
The smallest amount of money they could have raised is $301, because
is divisible by 7.
Now, the number should be divisible by 7 and must be greater than 500.
So,
When n = 9,
is not divisible by 7.
When n = 10,
is not divisible by 7.
When n = 11,
is not divisible by 7.
When n = 12,
is divisible by 7.
B. The least amount of money they could have raised is $721
