if the measure of angle A+is equal to the measure of angle B, then we have
2%286x-5y%29%2B4=54-3%282x-3y%29...we can solve this for x

12x-10y%2B4=54-6x%2B9y
12x%2B6x=54%2B10y%2B9y-4
18x=19y%2B50
x=19y%2F18%2B50%2F18
x=1.06y%2B2.78....plug it in measure of angle C:

21.2y%2B55.6-24y-8y%2B6.36y%2B16.68%2B30
measure of angle C: -4.44y%2B102.28
now we have: x=1.06y%2B2.78, then
the measure of angle
A=+2.72y%2B37.36
the measure of angle B+=54-3%282.12y%2B5.56-3y%29=54-3%28-0.88y%2B5.56%29=54-%28-2.64y%2B16.68%29=54%2B2.64y-16.68=2.64y%2B37.32
B=+2.64y%2B37.32
the measure of angle C+=-4.44y%2B102.28
now in all measure of angles we have only one unknown variable, and we also know that
A%2BB%2BC=180...plug in A+, B+ and C+
%282.72y%2B37.36%29%2B%282.64y%2B37.32%29%2B%28-4.44y%2B102.28%29=180...solve for y

0.92y=180-176.96
0.92y=3.04
y=3.04%2F0.92
highlight%28y=3.3%29
now find the measure of each angle:
A=+2.72y%2B37.36
A=+2.72%2A3.3%2B37.36
A=+8.976%2B37.36
highlight%28A=+46.34%29

Problems-with-consecutive-odd-even-integers/651783: I have had this problem for a month and I can't figure out what to do.
Maybe you can help.
A farmer is taking her eggs to the market in a cart, but she hits a
pothole, which knocks over all the containers of eggs. Though she is
unhurt, every egg is broken. So she goes to her insurance agent, who
asks her how many eggs she had. She says she doesn't know, but she
remembers somethings from various ways she tried packing the eggs.
When she put the eggs in groups of two, three, four, five, and six
there was one egg left over, but when she put them in groups of seven
they ended up in complete groups with no eggs left over.
What can the farmer figure from this information about the number of
eggs she had? Is there more than one answer?
I have already tried multiples of seven, but I can't figure the
answer out. Could you please tell me how to get the answer and also
tell me what it is?
Thanks for your help.

Answer 407805 by MathLover1(6812) About Me  on 2012-09-15 16:15:05 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

If there were no eggs left+over when put into groups of seven there must have been a multiple of 7 eggs.

We need to find n where
n+=+7a
n+=+6b+%2B+1
n+=+5c+%2B+1
n+=+4d+%2B+1
where a, b, c, and +d are the number of full groups when the eggs are put into groups of 7, 6, 5, and 4.
If there is one+egg+left+over when the eggs are put into groups of 6 there will automatically be one+egg+left+over when they are put into groups of 2 or groups of 3. So we can forget groups of 2 and 3.
The smallest number which is divisible by 5 and 6 is 30, but 30 isn't divisible by 4, so the smallest number which will divide by 4, 5, and 6 is 60.
So we need
n+=+60e+%2B+1
but also
n+=+7a
The easiest way to solve this is to try values 1,+2, 3,+4, 5,... for e to get values of 61, 121, 181, 241, 301%7D%7D%2C%7B%7B%7B420 ... for n, and to pick the first of these which divides by 7. This is 301.
So the smallest number of eggs is 301.
Adding 60+%2A+7 to a valid solution will also give a valid solution.
So the next solution is 301+%2B+420+=+721.
All the solutions are 301, 721, 1141, 1561, 1981, ... (i.e. add 420 each time)

Answer 407801 by MathLover1(6812) About Me  on 2012-09-15 15:56:06 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

98-4b=+-11b...move -11b to the left and 98 to the right side of equal sign (recall that sign changes in this case)
11b-4b=+-98
7b=+-98
b=+-98%2F7
highlight%28b=+-14%29
we can check result by plugging highlight%28b=+-14%29 in 98-4b=+-11b
98-4%28-14%29=+-11%28-14%29...recall:when multiplying two negative numbers, the product will be positive number
98%2B56=+154
154=+154...true; so, highlight%28b=+-14%29 is a solution for 98-4b=+-11b

calculations that are measured in square units (you using it in case you measure area):
Answer
The amount of carpet needed to cover a floor-relates to area
The amount of sod needed to cover a dirt yard-relates to area
The amount of paint needed to cover a wall -relates to area
-------------------------
these are not answer because:
The amount of water needed to fill a bucket relates to volume.
The amount of fencing needed to surround a garden relates to perimeter.


Geometry_proofs/651731: segment cd bisects segment rs, but segment rs does not bisect cd. Is this possible?

if segment cd bisects segment rs, but segment rs does not bisect cd, then segment cd and segment rs have only one point in common and it id end point of segment rs (either point r or point s lies is midpoint of segment cd)
so, it is possible...

draw a line segment rs perpendicular at a point r or s on a line segment cd

Answer 407760 by MathLover1(6812) About Me  on 2012-09-15 09:47:46 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=-5x%2B1+...here you have a linear function; so, the graph will be a line
to graph a line you need two points to plot on the Cartesian coordinate system
easiest way to find these points is to set x=0 and find y which will be y-intercept, and to set y=0 and find x which will be x-intercept
y=-5x%2B1+...if x=0, y will be:
y=-5%2A0%2B1+
y=1+
so, y-intercept is at (0,1)

y=-5x%2B1+...if y=0, x will be:
0=-5x%2B1+
5x=1+
x=1%2F5+
so, x-intercept is at (1%2F5,0)
now you are ready to plot these points on the Cartesian coordinate system and draw a line through

The mean represents the average or the sum of the data divided by the number of pieces of data :
mean+=+%284%2B10%2B1%2B7%2B1%2B8%2B1%2B5%2B2%29%2F9+=+4.33
The median is the value in the middle of a set of ranked data:
1,1,1,2,4,5,7,8,10
median+=+4
The mode is the piece of date that occurs most frequently.
mode+=+1

The midrange is the value half way between the lowest and highest
values in a set of data. It is found by adding the loweast and highest values and dividing the sum by 2.
midrange+=+%281%2B10%29%2F2+=+11%2F2=5.5

For each question, if you have to answer all of them, you can either answer it true or false; so for 14 questions , the number of ways is 2%5E14=16384

But, if you have an option to either answer it true, answer false, or leave it blank, this is 3 ways for each of 14 questions, so the total number of ways is 3%5E14=4782969.

y+=+x%5E2+-6x+%2B8
A parabola is of the general form y+=+ax%5E2+%2B+bx+%2B+c, and you have that.
If a is positive the parabola goes+up (looks like a smiley face), if a is negative the parabola goes+down (looks like a sad face).
It is very+important to note that for your question, you have the opposite y=x, instead of x=y, you goes up.
In case of x=y will be on its+side, and when this occurs, a positive a value means it will go to the right, so it will look like a letter c.

first, you can do is to find the vertex using +-b%2F+2a
+-b%2F+2a=-%28-6%29%2F2%2A1=6%2F2=3 ...this is x value...plug it in y+=+x%5E2+-6x+%2B8 and find y value
y+=+3%5E2+-6%2A3+%2B8
y+=+9+-18+%2B8
y+=+17+-18+
y+=+-1+
so, the vertex is at the point (3,-1)

In this example you can factor to find the roots, the possible values for x in our general form, when y+=+0.
So,

y+=+x%5E2+-6x+%2B8........substitute -6x with -2x+-4x
y+=+x%5E2+-2x+-4x+%2B8...group
y+=+%28x%5E2+-2x%29+-%284x+-8%29...factor out x from first group and 4 from second group
y=+x%28x+-2%29+-4%28x+-2%29...set y=0
0=+%28x+-4%29%28x+-2%29
if %28x+-4%29=0..->...x=4
if %28x+-2%29=0..->...x=2

So the parabola passes through the x-axis on the graph at 4 and 2. As parabola are symmetrical, the axis of symmetry is halfway between these, ie x+=3.
So sub this value into the original equation to find the lowest point of the parabola.
y+=+x%5E2+-6x+%2B8...now set x=0 and solve for x to find y-intercept
y+=+0%5E2+-6%2A0+%2B8
y+=+8...so, there is y-intercept at the point (0,8)
you can also take few other positive and negative values for x , calculate y and plot that points too, and you are ready to draw a graph

Adding
there are 4 possibilities:
+ +
Nothing new here, just add as usual.
+ -
You are going to the right and then to the left, so they are fighting with each other, and you don't get very far. Ignore the signs and subtract the bigger one minus the smaller one. The bigger one wins out as far as which direction you are going, so it determines the sign of your answer.
- +
You are going to the left and then to the right, so again they are fighting, so just like in the last case, you ignore the signs and subtract the bigger one minus the smaller one and the bigger one wins and determines the sign of your answer.
- -
Now you are going to the left and then going to the left again, so to determine how far you are going you ignore the signs and add, and since you will end up to the left of 0, the sign of your answer will be negative.
or, simple:

Like Signs - Add and the sign is the common sign.
Different Signs - Subtract and use the sign of the bigger one.
Subtraction
Our original subtraction of positive numbers like 7-5 can be take care of by adding a negative, since 7+-5 give the same answer as 7-5, so we can generalize this to a definition for subtracting any two signed numbers. So to subtract two signed numbers you change it into an addition problem by changing the second number to its opposite.
To subtract, change the sign of the second number and add. And that's really all there is to it. You just have to remember to do it, and that takes practice.
Multiplication
combinations of plus and minus for multiplication of signed numbers:
+ +
No negative numbers here, so nothing new.
+ -
Multiplying by positive numbers means repeated addition, so the same thing should be true when you multiply it by a negative number. The repeated addition of a negative number gives a negative number and the absolute value, that is the size without the minus sign, is simply the product of the two absolute values. This means when you multiply a positive number times a negative number, you multiply the two numbers ignoring the signs, and the sign of the answer is negative.
- +
We want multiplication to be commutative, so this should be done the same way as +-.
- -
This one is slightly trickier to understand, and I've never seen a convincing physical interpretation of it. Mainly you have to accept this on the basis that it is the only mathematically consistent way to define it given the other definitions. There are a number of ways to think about it. If -+ is - then -- somehow has to be something different, so it must be +. Or you can think of it as, since -+ is - then multiplying by a minus must change the sign, so in a minus times a minus the first minus must change the sign of the second one to plus. An interesting more formal way of seeing it is to use the distributive property. Take an example with numbers to make it friendlier.
-5%286%2B-6%29=%28-5%29%280%29,
but also by the distributive property
-5%286%2B-6%29=%28-5%29%286%29%2B%28-5%29%28-6%29=-30%2B%28-5%29%28-6%29
So whatever %28-5%29%28-6%29 is, when you add it to -30 you have to get 0, and the only thing you can add to -30 and get 0 is 30. Anyway, however you see it, it seems that the only possible thing for the product of two negatives to be is a positive.
Again just like with addition we can make this easier to remember by collapsing it down to just two cases, and here it is really much simpler that with addition, because with multiplication you always multiply, so all you have to worry about is what the sign of the answer will be.
Always multiply
Like signs, sign is +
Different signs, sign is
Division
The same rules about signs hold for division as for multiplication. Also if you have a problem that is all multiplication and division, you can just ignore the signs and then figure out what the sign of the answer is by counting up the minuses and if it is even the answer is plus and if it is odd the answer is minus. But be careful, you can only do this if the problem is all multiplication and division.
