In a recent golf match,Becky’s score was 5 less than Cathy’s score their combined score totaled 185 let b represent Becky’s score and c represent Cathy’s score which pair equation can be used to determine their scores

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

It says that b represents Becky’s score and c represents Cathy’s score.

Becky’s score was 5 less than Cathy’s score, its equation can be written as :-

b = c - 5

It says that their combined score totaled 185, its equation can be written as :-

b + c = 185

So, correct pair of equations is b = c - 5 and b + c = 185.

Answer 2
Answer:

If Becky’s score was 5 less than Cathy’s, then we would write:

b = c - 5

If Becky’s and Cathy’s scores add up to 185, then we would write:

b + c = 185

These are the two equations:

b = c - 5

b + c = 185

n 2010, the ratio of boys to girls in the top 10 percent of their class at Bixby High School was 3 to 5. In 2011, the number of boys increased by 6 and the number of girls increased by 2. If the new ratio of boys to girls is 2 to 3, write an expression that represents how many students were in the top 10% in 2010.

Answers

Answer:  Total number of students will be 112.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The ratio of boys to girls in the top 10% of their class at Bixby High School was

3:5

So, Let the number of boys be 3x

Let the number of girls be 5x

According to question,

(3x+6)/(5x+2)=(2)/(3)\n\n3(3x+6)=2(5x+2)\n\n9x+18=10x+4\n\n18-4=10x-9x\n\n14=x

So, total number of students will be

3x+5x=8x\n\n8* 14=112

Hence, Total number of students will be 112.

Two sides of a right triangle are 8” and 12”.A. Find the the area of the triangle if 8 and 12 are legs.

B. Find the area of the triangle if 8 and 12 are a leg and hypotenuse.

Answers

Area of a right triangle = ab/2

where a and b are both legs of the triangle.

A) a = 8 inches ; b = 12 inches
A = (8in x 12in)/2 = 96/2 = 48 in²

B.) a = 8 inches ; b = ? ; hypotenuse = 12 inches

Pythagorean theorem is used to get the measurement of the hypotenuse. It can also be used to get the measurement of the missing leg.

a² + b² = c² ⇒ b² = c² - a²
b² = 12² - 8²
b² = 144 - 64
b² = 80
b = √80
b = 8.94

A = ab/2 ⇒ (8 inches * 8.94 inches)/2
A = 71.52 in² / 2
A = 35.76 in²

Weekly Question:In the rectangle below, the line MN cuts the rectangle into two regions. Find x the length of segment NB so that the area of the quadrilateral MNBC is 40% of the total area of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

(1/2)(10)(x + 15 + x) = (2/5)(10)(20 + x)

(1/2)(2x + 15) = (2/5)(x + 20)

5(2x + 15) = 4(x + 20)

10x + 75 = 4x + 80

6x = 5

x = 5/6

NB = 5/6

The answer for this question is really interest and that is N= to 5/6
