Given : Angle < CEB is bisected by EF.

< CEF = 7x +31.

< FEB = 10x-3.

We need to find the values of x and measure of < FEB, < CEF and < CEB.

Solution: Angle < CEB is bisected into two angles < FEB and < CEF.

Therefore, < FEB = < CEF.

Substituting the values of < FEB and < CEF, we get

10x -3 = 7x +31

Adding 3 on both sides, we get

10x -3+3 = 7x +31+3.

10x = 7x + 34

Subtracting 7x from both sides, we get

10x-7x = 7x-7x +34.

3x = 34.

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

x= 11.33.

Plugging value of x=11.33 in < CEF = 7x +31.

We get

< CEF = 7(11.33) +31 = 79.33+31 = 110.33.

< FEB = < CEF = 110.33 approximately

< CEB = < FEB + < CEF = 110.33 +110.33 = 220.66 approximately

There are 648 cows and sheep on the farm. The ratio of the number of Cows to the number if sheep is 5:4. At an auction 2 thirds

GREYUIT [131]

Cows : sheep = 5 : 4

5x + 4x = 648

9x = 648

x = 72

5x = 5 * 72 = 360

4x = 4 * 72 = 288

There are originally 360 cows and 288 sheep.

2/3 of the sheep are sold. That means that 1/3 of the sheep are left.

1/3 * 288 = 96

96 sheep are left.

x cows were sold.

(360 - x)/96 = 3/1

360 - x = 288

-x = -72

x = 72

72 cows were sold

Answer:

48 sq inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Ribbon used around a bulletin broard is 28 inches

The length of her board is 6 inches

Let B is breadth of her board. 28 inches is perimeter. The perimeter of rectangle is given by :

P = 2(L+B)

28=2(6+B)

14=6+B

B=8 inches

The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = L×B

A = 8×6

A=48 sq inches

So, the area of her board is 48 sq inches

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2b < 56

n = b - 2

b = n + 2

n < 27

b < 28

No, because the difference between Brittany and Nate's age is 2years

Step-by-step explanation:

A.)

Twice Brittany’s age is less than the age of Abraham Lincoln when he died. President Lincoln was 56 years old at the time of his death

Let Brittany's age = b

Twice Brittany's age = 2 × b = 2b

Lincoln's age = 56

2b < 56

B.)

Nate's age = n

Nate is 2 years younger than brittany who is aged 'b'

n = b - 2

C.) b = n + 2

D.)

If 2b < 56 and b = n + 2

2(n + 2) < 56

2n + 2 < 56

2n < 56 - 2

2n < 54 ; n < 27

2b < 56

b < 56/2

b < 28

No, because the difference between Brittany and Nate's age is 2years
