Amy, Bruce, and Carlos collected a total of 168 pounds of cans to recycle. Bruce collected 1/3 the number of pounds of cans Carlos collected. Amy collected the same number of pounds of cans as Bruce and Carlos combined. Solve the equation for c, and then determine the number of pounds of cans Bruce collected.. Show all work necessary to support your answer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]c = 63\\b=21[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of pounds of cans collected by Amy = [tex]a[/tex]

Let number of pounds of cans collected by Bruce = [tex]b[/tex]

Let number of pounds of cans collected by Carlos = [tex]c[/tex]

As per question statement, total number of cans collected = 168

[tex]a+b+c=168[/tex] ..... (1)

Number of pounds collected by Bruce is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]rd of the pounds of cans collected by Carlos.

[tex]b = \dfrac{1}{3}c ..... (2)[/tex]

Number of pounds collected by Amy is equal to number of pounds collected by Bruce and Carlos combined.

[tex]a = b+c[/tex]

Using equation (2):

[tex]a = \dfrac{1}{3}c +c \\\Rightarrow a =\dfrac{4}{3}c ..... (3)[/tex]

Using equations (2) and (3) in equation (1), we get:

[tex]\dfrac{4}{3}c+\dfrac{1}{3}c+c =168\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{8}{3}c = 168\\\Rightarrow c =63[/tex]

Using equation (2):

[tex]b = \dfrac{63}{3} = 21[/tex]

If Triangle ABC ≈ Triangle DBE, find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

∠CBA = ∠EBD (Vertically opposite angles are equal)

          = 52°

Since in the triangle DBE, you already know two of the angles, you can find ∠BDE which is equal to ∠CAB (x + 9)°.

∠BDE = 180° - 70° - 52°

          = 58°

∠BDE = ∠CAB

          = ∠(x + 9)°

          = 58°

x + 9 = 58

x = 58 - 9

x = 49

Answer:
x=10
y=7.5
CE = 6
BD=4.5

Explanation:
Use similar triangles. Since you know one side length of the larger triangle, divide it by the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle to get the factor you are multiplying you side lengths by.

12.5 / 5
= 2.5

Multiply every other side length by 2.5

4 x 2.5 = 10
x = 10

3 x 2.5 = 7.5
y = 7.5

To get CE and BD subtract your values:

CE = 10 - 4
CE = 6

BD = 7.5 - 3
BD = 4.5

What point is the intersection of the graphs of the lines 2 x - y = 3
and x + y = 3?

Answers

Answer:

(2, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - y = 3 → (1)

x + y = 3 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting x from both sides

y = 3 - x → (3)

Substitute y = 3 - x into (1)

2x - (3 - x) = 3

2x - 3 + x = 3

3x - 3 = 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

substitute x = 2 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 3 - 2 = 1

Solution is (2, 1 )

A city planner is mapping out some new features for a triangular park. She sketches the park on grid paper. The coordinates of the vertices of the park are (1, 1), (1, 4), and (−3, 4).   The city planner wants to put a flower bed at the centroid of the park. What are the coordinates of the flower bed? (__,__)​

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of the flower bed are ([tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex] , 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the centroid of a triangle, use this rule centroid = ([tex]\frac{x1+x2+x3}{3},\frac{y1+y2+y3}{3}[/tex]), where (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) are the vertices of the triangle

∵ The vertices of the triangle are (1, 1), (1, 4), (-3, 4)

∴ x1 = 1 and y1 = 1

∴ x2 = 1 and y2 = 4

∴ x3 = -3 and y3 = 4

→ Substitute them in the rule above

∵ Centroid = ([tex]\frac{1+1+-3}{3},\frac{1+4+4}{3}[/tex])

∴ Centroid = ([tex]\frac{-1}{3},\frac{9}{3}[/tex])

∴ Centroid = ([tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex] , 3)

The coordinates of the flower bed are ([tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex] , 3)
