I have another question. Given that the measure of angle a= 74 degrees and the measure of angle b= 52 degrees, find the measure of angles x and y. In the drawing, angle x is on the lower right interior of the triangle and angle y is on the lower right exterior of the triangle. I am so totally lost...please help...
Becky

Based on your description, x seems to be the third angle of the triangle, while y appears to be one of the exterior angles of the triangle, formed by extending one of the triangle's sides.

As the angles of a triangle sum to , we can say that x = 180 - (a + b), or x = 180 - (74 + 52), or x = 180 - 126, or

As the angles on a straight line are SUPPLEMENTARY (sum to ), and as x and y are on a straight line, we can say that x + y = 180. Now, since x = , then 54 + y = 180 ----- y = 180 - 54, or

OR

As any exterior angle, formed by extending one side of a triangle, is the sum of the two opposite interior angles, we can say that: y = a + b, or y = 74 + 52, or

One angle of a triangle is 15 degrees more than the measure of the second angle. The third angle is 15 degrees less than the measure of the second angle. Find the measure of each angle.
I am having a really hard time with geometry...I was bad at it 20 + years ago and it hasn't gotten any better since then. If anyone can show me how to figure this out I would really appreciate it! :)
Becky

Let second angle's measure be S
Then first angle's measure = S + 15
Third angle's measure = S - 15

As the angles of a triangle sum to , we can say that: S + S + 15 + S - 15 = 180
3S = 180

S, or second angle's measure = , or

First angle's measure = 60 + 15, or

Third angle's measure = 60 - 15, or

If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are each increased by 1, the result is 35; but if the numerator and denominator are each decreased by 1, the result is 59.
Let the fraction be ab. Write down two equations satisfied by a and b:

(ii)
Find the fraction. ab

---- 35b + 35 = a + 1 ----- a – 35b = 34 ---- eq (i)

Identify the number that satisfies all three of the following conditions:
 it is a composite between 62 and 72;
 the sum of the digits is a prime number; and
 it has more than four factors.

Number is

Factors: 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70 (more than 4, so COMPOSITE, since it has more than 1 pair of factors)

Buffalo contributed 6 more tons of clothing to a drive than did Troy. Endicott contributed half as much as Troy. In all they continued 71 tons. How many tons were contributed by each?

Let amount contributed by Troy be T
Then amount contributed by Buffalo = T + 6
Amount Endicott contributed = ˝ * T, or
Therefore,



4T + 12 + T = 142 ------ Multiplying by LCD, 2

5T = 130

T, or Troy contributed , or tons

Buffalo contributed 26 + 6, or tons

This is my grandson math question and I need help I can't figure it out?

Since p > 18, any 3 numbers that are GREATER tan 18 can be solutions, so choose any 3 such numbers.

Draw a number line. Place an OPEN CIRCLE on the line at the point that's represented by the number 18. Then draw a very, very BOLD arrow pointing to the right of the number 18 on the number line to indicate that the solutions are numbers that are GREATER than 18. That's it!!!

the supplement of an angle is 10 less than three times its complement. what is the measure of the angle?

Let the angle's measure be A

Then its supplement is 180 - A, and its complement is: 90 - A

Therefore, 180 - A = 3(90 - A) - 10

180 - A = 270 - 3A - 10

- A + 3A = 270 - 10 - 180

Dave is twice as old as Rick. Ten years ago the sum of their ages was 40. How old are they now?

Let Rick's current age be R

Then Dave's current age = 2R

Ten years ago, Rick was R - 10, and Dave was: 2R - 10

Therefore, R - 10 + 2R - 10 = 40

3R - 20 = 40

I need help with my math homework on decimals :
Decimal patterns with powers of 10.Divide
4 divided by 0.5



When dividing decimals, you first need to convert the divisor, or the denominator (0.5 in this case) to a WHOLE number. This is attained by moving the decimal point one place to the right (this is the same as multiplying the divisor or denominator by 10), therefore leading to a divisor or denominator of 5.

Now, since the divisor's decimal point was moved 1 place to the right to make it a WHOLE number, we also need to move the decimal point in the NUMERATOR, one place to the right(this is the same as multiplying the numerator by 10). This gives us 40 as the numerator.

We now have: , which gives us:

You can then check this answer on a calculator, if you're allowed to use one.

A number between 300 and 400 is 40 times the sum of its digits. The tens digit is six more then the units digit. Find the number.

Since number is between 300 and 400, then the hundreds digit MUST be 3

Let the tens, and units digits be T, and U, respectively
Then: 300 + 10T + U = 40(3 + T + U)
300 + 10T + U = 120 + 40T + 40U
10T – 40T + U – 40U = 120 – 300
- 30T – 39U = - 180
- 3(10T + 13U) = - 3(60)
10T + 13U = 60 ------ eq (i)
T = U + 6 ------ eq (ii)

10(U + 6) + 13U = 60 --------- Substituting U + 6 for T in eq (i)
10U + 60 + 13U = 60

Hi. I kind of understand how a total salary amount over a certain period of years with a fixed annual increase using arithmetic series is done but how does one do this if the annual rate of increase is a percentage? e.g. What would be the total amount of a salary that starts at $20,000 per year at an annual increase of 5% over 10 years? Thank you. Paul Stone

This is the equivalent of asking one to determine the future value, after 10 years, of $20,000, which is compounded annually, at a rate of 5%.

The future value formula, can be used, with A being the future value, or value after 10 years, P = present value, or $20,000, r = rate of interest, or 5% (.05), m being the amount of compounding periods per year, and t being the time, in years (10)

Therefore, becomes:

-----

A, or amount in 10 years = 20000(1.628894627), or $

The easiest way is to set up these types of problems as PROPORTIONS

How do you set up the equation to solve the problem, "A merchant wants to clear $365.00 after paying a service fee of 3.25%. How much much must the merchant charge his customer?" I multiplied $365.00 by 0.0325, then added that amount to the $365.00. Is there a better method/formula, Please. Thank you.

The $365 represents 100%, so adding 3.25% to 100% results in a multiplicative amount of , which is then multiplied by $365 (), thus resulting in the amount to be charged to the customer. This amount will also be the same as calculating the 3.25% service fee and then adding it to the $365 - just as you did.
