Refer to the diagram below.
Because ray NP bisects ∠MNQ, therefore
∠MNP = ∠PNQ = 2x + 1.
Therefore
∠MNQ = 2*∠PNQ = 2(2x + 1) = 4x + 2.
Because ∠MNQ is given as x² - 10, therefore
x² - 10 = 4x + 2
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
(x + 2 )(x - 6) = 0
x = -2, or x = 6
When x = -2,
∠MNQ = 4*(-2) + 2 = -6°
This answer is not acceptablle, therefore x = -2 should be rejected.
When x = 6,
∠MNQ = 4*6 + 2 = 26°
Answer: x = 6, and ∠MNQ = 26°
Answer:
Campsites be chosen in 680 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of campsites= 17
Number of campsites that are to be occupied=3
To Find:
Number of ways can the campsites be chosen=?
Solution:
Combination:
In mathematics, a combination is a way of selecting items from a collection where the order of selection does not matter. Suppose we have a set of three numbers P, Q and R. Then in how many ways we can select two numbers from each set, is defined by combination.
nCr = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ... (n - r + 1)/r! = n! / r!(n - r)!
No of ways in which campsites can be chosen=

So M=Mabels score
N=Nancys score
P=Phoebes score
M=N+19
P=N-10
p=23 Therefore Nancys Score is 33
Mabel scored 19 more points on her test than Nancy did.
So therefore add N+M = 52
Width of the actual barrier = 1.2 miles
Width of the barrier in the blueprint = 2 inches
2 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2 miles of original
So, 1 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2/2 = 0.6 miles.
Since the length of the barrier in the blueprint = 9 inches,
length of the actual barrier = 9(0.6) = 5.4 miles.
