(apply polya's problem solving method)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf x = 14 , y = 10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

Condition # 1:

x + y = 24  ---------------------(1)

Condition # 2:

x = 2y - 6  ----------------------(2)

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Putting Equation # 2 in Equation # 1

2y - 6 + y = 24

3y - 6 = 24

Adding 6 to both sides

3y = 24 + 6

3y = 30

Dividing both sides by 3

y = 10

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Putting y = 10 in Equation # 2

x = 2y - 6

x = 2(10) - 6

x = 20 - 6

x = 14

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Answer 2

The two numbers are 10 and 14.

The sum of 2 numbers is 24.

let the number be x and y . Therefore,

x + y = 24

One is 6 less than twice the other. therefore,

2x - y = 6

Combine the equations

x + y = 24

2x - y = 6

3x = 30

x = 30 / 3

x = 10

x + y = 24

10 + y = 24

y = 24 - 10

y = 14

The 2 numbers are 10 and 14 .

Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

1/12 is your answer! :)

The number of more yards of red fabric Tammy used will be 1/12 yards.

What is Algebra?

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

PEMDAS rule means for the Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This rule is used to solve the equation in a proper and correct manner.

Tammy made a shirt using 1/4 yards of green fabric and 1/3 yards of red fabric.

Then the number of more yards of red fabric Tammy used will be

⇒ 1/3 - 1/4

⇒ (4 - 3) / 12

⇒ 1 / 12

The number of more yards of red fabric Tammy used will be 1/12 yards.

Answer:

k = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find the equation of line AC. Since point A has an x-coordinate of 0, we know that point A is the y-intercept so when writing the equation of AC in slope-intercept form, we know that b = -2 in y = mx + b (Note that m = slope and b = y-intercept). To find m, we can use points A and C, therefore, m = (0 - (-2)) / (-2 - 0) = 2 / -2 = -1. Now, we know that the equation of line AC is y = -x - 2. To solve for k, we know that point B belongs to AC and that x = -k, y = 5 - 2k in point B, therefore, after plugging those values into y = -x - 2, we get:

5 - 2k = -(-k) - 2

5 - 2k = k - 2

5 - 3k = -2

-3k = -7

k = 7/3

Answer:  5) 72.6°      6) 68.7°       7) 37.3°        8) 81.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosines:    a² = b² + c² - 2bc · cos A

                              b² = a² + c² - 2ac · cos B

                              c² = a² + b² - 2ab · cos C

5) a = 27, b = 26, c = 20, A = ???

   a² = b² + c² - 2bc · cos A

27² = 26² + 20² - 2(26)(20) · cos A

729 = 676 + 400 - 1040 cos A

729 = 1076 - 1040 cos A

-311 = -1040 cos A

[tex]\dfrac{311}{1040}=\cos A\\\\\cos^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{311}{1040}\bigg)=A[/tex]

72.6° = A

6) a = 11, b = 13, c = 12, B = ???

   b² = a² + c² - 2ac · cos B

13² = 11² + 12² - 2(11)(12) · cos B

169 = 121 + 144 - 264 cos B

169 = 265 - 264 cos B

-96 = -264 cos B

[tex]\dfrac{96}{264}=\cos B\\\\\cos^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{96}{264}\bigg)=B[/tex]

68.7° = B

7) a = 19.2, b = 11.7, c = 16.5, B = ???

   b² = a² + c² - 2ac · cos B

11.7² = 19.2² + 16.5² - 2(19.2)(16.5) · cos B

136.89 = 368.64 + 272.25 - 633.6 cos B

136.89 = 640.89 - 633.6 cos B

-504 = -633.6 cos B

[tex]\dfrac{504}{633.6}=\cos B\\\\\cos^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{504}{633.6}\bigg)=B[/tex]

37.3° = B

8) a = 8.8, b = 12.4, c = 14.1, C = ???

   c² = a² + b² - 2ab · cos C

14.1² = 8.8² + 12.4² - 2(8.8)(12.4) · cos C

198.81 = 77.44 + 153.76 - 218.24 cos C

198.81 = 231.2 - 218.24 cos C

Answers

Answer:

m = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4x + -2m = 0

Reorder the terms:

-2m + 4x = 0

Solving

-2m + 4x = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

-2m + 4x + -4x = 0 + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

-2m + 0 = 0 + -4x

-2m = 0 + -4x

Remove the zero:

-2m = -4x

Divide each side by '-2'.

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 1/2 x + 5
that passes through the point (2,6).

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

When 2 lines are parallel, they have the same slope.

Step 1: Define variables

Random point (2, 6)

m = 1/2

y = 1/2x + b

Step 2: Find b

6 = 1/2(2) + b

6 = 1 + b

5 = b

Step 3: Rewrite parallel linear equation

y = 1/2x + 5
