Answer:

Sample response: Since the lines are parallel, the alternate exterior angles are congruent. Therefore you can set the expressions equal to each other and solve for x. Then you can substitute the value of x back into either expression to find the angle measure.

Alternate exterior angles, when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, are congruent. Therefore, the angles are equal...so set them equal.

6x + 5 = 7x - 4...now we solve for x
6x - 7x = -4 - 5
-x = -9
x = 9

one angle (6x + 5) = 6(9) + 5 = 54 + 5 = 59 degrees
other angle (7x - 4) = 7(9) - 4 = 63 - 4 = 59 degrees
as u can see, they are both congruent and they each measure 59 degrees

A soccer field is bordered on three sides by a parking lot of width x. The total length of the field and parking lot is 300 m, a
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Parking lot is 60m wide

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question. We are asked to calculate the width of the parking lot. We proceed as follows:

We know that the total length of the field and the parking lot is 300m while the total width is 200m. We should remember that the field is rectangular in nature.

Since the parking lot is x meters, the length of the field would simply be (300-2x)m while the width of the field would be (200-x). The width would also have been 200-2x but we must remember that the field is only covered on 3 sides.

Area of the field is 30,000. This means if we multiply both, we get 30,000.

Mathematically;

(300-2x)(200-x) = 30,000

60,000-300x-400x+ 2x^2 = 30,000

2x^2-700x-30,000= 0

We can see we now have a quadratic equation we need to solve.

2x^2+500x-1200x-30,000= 0

2x(x+250) -120(x+250) = 0

(2x-120)(x+250) = 0

2x-120= 0 or x+250=0

2x = 120or x = -250

x = 120/2 or x= -250

x = 60 or x=-250

We discard x = -100 as x is length and cannot be negative

Hence, x = 60m

A flower vendor sells roses for 50 cents each. How much does she pay per flower is she makes $6.00 on every twenty dollars worth
Lelu [443]

One rose is 50 cents, so 2 roses cost $1 ( 50 cents x 2).

2 roses per dollar x 20 dollars = 40 total roses sold.


When they sell $20 dollars they make $6, so that means they pay 20-6 = $14 dollars for the 40 roses.


$14 / 40 roses = 0.35 per rose.

She pays 35 cents per rose.

Which equation is y=6x^2+12-10 rewritten in vertex form
Andre45 [30]

The formula in order to obtain the vertex form of a quadratic equation is given as 

y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex of the quadratic equation which is parabolic in shape and it is opening upward.

As given in the problem, y=6x^2+12x-10

Using the formula, we can transformed the quadratic equation y=6x^2+12x-10 into its vertex form:

y=6x^2+12x-10

<span>y= (6x^2+12x)-10    (grouping)</span>

y=6(x^2+2x)-10 (factoring Common terms per group)

y=6(x^2+2x+1)-10-6 (Completing the squares)

<span>y=6(x+1)^2-16    (Factor and Simplify) </span>

 

Hence, the vertex form of y=<span>6x^2+12x-10 is y=6(x+1)^2-16</span>

Which expressions simplify to a rational answer? Select each correct answer. 29√⋅4√ 3√⋅16−−√ 73⋅−√3√ 5√⋅5√
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the expressions whose simplified form is a rational number.

Rational number: If a number is defined in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called a rational number.

For example: 0,2, 4.3 etc.

Irrational number: If a number can not defined in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called an irrational number.

First expression is

2\sqrt{9}\cdot \sqrt{4}=2(3)\cdot (2)\Rightarrow 6\cdot 2=12

12 is a rational number.

Second expression is

\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{16}=\sqrt{3}\cdot 4\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}

4\sqrt{3} is an irrational number.

Third expression is

7\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}\Rightarrow 7\cdot 3=21

21 is a rational number.

Fourth expression is

\sqrt{5}\cdot \sqrt{5}=5

5 is a rational number.

Therefore, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

Find the sum of the first 63 terms of –19, -13, -7 …
boyakko [2]

The Given Sequence is an Arithmetic Sequence with First term = -19

⇒ a = -19

Second term is -13

We know that Common difference is Difference of second term and first term.

⇒ Common Difference (d) = -13 + 19 = 6

We know that Sum of n terms is given by : S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n - 1)d)

Given n = 63 and we found a = -19 and d = 6

\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(2(-19) + (63 - 1)6)

\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(-38 + (62)6)

\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(-38 + 372)

\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(-38 + 372)

\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(334)

\implies S_6_3 = {63}(167) = 10521

The Sum of First 63 terms is 10521
