Answer: $53

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Earning of Arthur in three weeks = $136

Let x be the money he earn in one more week.

If he needs at least $189 to buy the new coat that he wants for school.

Then it gives the inequality $136+x\geq 189$

Subtract 136 from both sides of the inequality, we get

$x\geq 189-136\\\Rightarrow\ x\geq 53$

Hence, Arthur must earn $ 53 in the next week.

An inequality:
136 + x ≥ 189
x ≥ 189 - 136
x ≥ 53
Answer:
He must earn at least $53.

On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct △ABC with AB=6 cm , m∠A=80° , and m∠B=50° .

The correct answer for this question is this one:

<span>On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct △ABC with AB=6 cm , m∠A=80° , and m∠B=50° .

What is AC ?

3 cm
<u>6 cm</u>
9 cm
12 cm</span>

If you try to draw the triangle, it forms an isosceles triangle.
side AB has a length of 6cm. Side AB = Side AC. So the length of Side AC is also 6 cm.

Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.

A triangular banner has an area of 351cm2. The length of the base is two centimeters longer than four times the height. Find the

Xelga [282]

Answer:

h = 13cm and b= 54cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the area $A=351cm^2$ and the base is two centimeters longer than four times the height, that is

$b = 2+4h$

where b is the base and h the height. Now, the area is

$A=\frac{b*h}{2}$

$351=\frac{(2+4h)h}{2}$

$702=2h+4h^2$

$4h^2+2h-702=0$ .

Now, we are going to use the general formula to solve quadratic ecuations:

$h=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where a=4, b= 2 and c= -702.

$h=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(4)(-702)}}{2*4}$

$h=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4+11232}}{8}$

$h=\frac{-2\pm106}{8}$

$h=\frac{-2+106}{8}$ or $h=\frac{-2-106}{8}$

As we are searching for the lenght, we choose the positive result:

$h=\frac{-2+106}{8}=13cm$

$b=2+4h = 2+52 = 54cm$ .

Follow the steps to solve this equation. 3(2x + 6) – 4x = 2(5x – 2) + 6 1. Use the distributive property: 6x + 18 – 4x = 10x – 4

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

$x=2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $3(2x+6)-4x=2(5x-2)+6$ . We are supposed to solve our given equation step by step.

Step 1: Use the distributive property.

$3\cdot 2x+3\cdot 6-4x=2\cdot 5x-2\cdot 2+6$

$6x+18-4x=10x-4+6$

Step 2: Combine like terms.

$6x-4x+18=10x-4+6$

$2x+18=10x+2$

Step 3: Use subtraction property of equality:

$2x-2x+18-2=10x-2x+2-2$

$16=8x$

Step 4: Use the division property of equality:

$\frac{16}{8}=\frac{8x}{8}$

$2=x$

Therefore, the solution of our given equation is $x=2$ .
