An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

The value of x is 1.

The value of y is 4.

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Example:

2x + 4 - 9 = 5 is an equation.

We have,

-4.5x - 2y = -12.5 ____(1)

3.25x - y = -0.75 _____(2)

From (1) we get,

-4.5x + 12.5 = 2y

y = (-4.5x + 12.5) / 2 _____(3)

Now,

3.25x - y = -0.75

Putting (3) in (2) we get,

3.25x - (-4.5x + 12.5) / 2 = -0.75

6.5x + 4.5x - 12.5 = 2 x -0.75

11x - 12.5 = -1.5

11x = -1.5 + 12.5

11x = 11

x = 1

Now,

From (3) we get,

y = (-4.5x + 12.5) / 2

y = (-4.5 x 1 + 12.5) / 2

y = (-4.5 + 12.5) / 2

y = 8/2

y = 4

Thus,

The value of x is 1.

The value of y is 4.

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 divided by 2 would be 0.25, and since that's a quarter it would be 1/4.

The 1 dollars found near the table by your friend is likely the money for the tickets.

You are selling tickets at a dance. Individual tickets cost $6, and 2 tickets for a couple cost $10. After the dance, you count $1075 and 195 tickets.

let

x = number of individual ticket

y = number of couple tickets = 2x

Therefore, using equation,

2x(10) + 6x = 1075

2x + x = 195

Hence,

20x + 6x  = 1075

3x = 195

x = 195 / 3

x = 65

Hence,

26x = 1075

26(65) = 1690

Therefore, the money on the table is the ticket money because the money is short of the amount of the tickets in dollars.

The required angles  ∠TBS and ∠TCV are 48° and 22° respectively.

A right-angled triangle is a kind of triangle that has one of its points equivalent to 90 degrees. The other two points summarize to 90 degrees. The sides that incorporate the right point are opposite and the foundation of the triangle. The third side is known as the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of each of the three sides

∠TBV = 24°

∠VBS = 24°

So, ∠TBS = (24° ) = 48°

And,

∠SAU = 92°,

So,

∠VAU = 46°

In ΔTAC

∠TAC + ∠TCA = 90°

∠TCA = 90° - 46° = 44°

∠TBS = 48°

What is a angle bisector?

In geometry, an angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles. The term "bisector" refers to a device that divides an object or a shape into two equal halves. An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two identical segments of the same length.

As given in question:

AV , BV and CV are the angle bisector of ΔABC

UV = 17, BV = 18

∠SAU =92° and ∠TBV = 24°

Now,

∠TBV = ∠SBV = 24° ( BV is angle bisector)

So, ∠TBS = ∠TBV + ∠SBV

      ∠TBS = 24° + 24° = 48°

SV = UV = 17 (V is the incenter of ΔABC.)

∠SAU + ∠TBS + ∠TCU = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)

92° + 48° + ∠TCU = 180°

∠TCU = 180° - 140°

∠TCU = 40°

So, [tex]\angle TCV = \frac{40\degree}{2}[/tex]

       ∠TCV = 20°

∴ ∠TBS = 48°

SV = 17

∠TCV = 20°

Answer: I believe 140

Step-by-step explanation: This is how I found my answer:

420 / 3

= 140

420-140

=  280

420= number of all tickets sold.

140= number of adult tickets sold

280= number of student tickets sold

You might wonder how I know why it's 140. I know it's 140, because using my context clues, it stated:

"the number of student tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets."

So, the one that was the bigger amount must be the student's tickets sold, while the lower amount has to be the adult's tickets sold. I hope this helped!

Answer:

m angle B = 27.54 degree

m angle C = 60.85 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-6=90

7x=96

x=13.77

therefore,

m angle B = 27.54 degree

Answer: The common ratio of the geometric sequence is 1/2, the first term is -72, and the 4th term is -9.

Step-by-step explanation: The common ratio r of a geometric sequence is found by dividing the second term by the first term, and the nth term of the geometric sequence is given by a1 * r^(n-1), where a1 is the first term.

To find the common ratio r of this geometric sequence, we can use the fact that the 3rd term is -18 and the 6th term is 9216:

-18 = a1 * r^2

9216 = a1 * r^5

Dividing these two equations, we get:

-18/9216 = (a1 * r^2) / (a1 * r^5)

-18/9216 = r^-3

r = (-18/9216)^(-1/3)

Since r is the common ratio, it must be positive. Since (-18/9216)^(-1/3) is negative, we must take the positive root:

r = ((-18/9216)^(-1/3))^(1/3)

r = ((-18/9216)^(1/9))

r = (9216/-18)^(1/9)

r = (-512)^(1/9)

r = (-8)^(1/9)

r = (-2)^(2/9)

r = (-2)^(2/3)

r = (1/4)^(2/3)

r = 1/2

To find the first term a1, we can use the fact that the 3rd term is -18 and the common ratio is 1/2:

-18 = a1 * (1/2)^2

-18 = a1/4

a1 = -72

To find the 4th term a4, we can use the fact that the first term is -72 and the common ratio is 1/2:

a4 = (-72) * (1/2)^3

a4 = -9

Therefore, the common ratio of the geometric sequence is 1/2, the first term is -72, and the 4th term is -9.

In linear equation,   20x + 45y = 440 ,     y = 2x  Where x is the number of small boxes sent and y  is the number of large boxes sent.

What in mathematics is a linear equation?

A linear equation is a first-order (linear) term plus a constant in the algebraic form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

                                  Sometimes, the aforementioned is referred to as a "linear equation of two variables," where x and y are the variables.

Let be x the number of small boxes sent and y the number of large boxes sent.

Since each small box can hold 20 books (20x), each large box can hold 45 books (45y)and altogether can hold a total of 440 books, we can write the following equation to represent this

                 20x + 45y = 440

According to the information provided in the exercise, there were 4 times as many large boxes sent as small boxes. This can be represented with this equation
