A an election, a total of 240 votes were cast for four candidates. The winner won by a margin of 8, 13, and 15 votes over the other three candidates. What was the lowest number of votes received by a candidate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Total votes: 240

Votes for the winner: x

Votes for candidate 1: x - 8

Votes for candidate 2: x - 13

Votes for candidate 3: x - 15

Equation to find the amount of votes of the winner (x) is:

240 = x +  x - 8 + x - 13 + x - 15

Combine x and x to get 2x.

240=2x−8+x−13+x−15

Combine 2x and x to get 3x.

240=3x−8−13+x−15

Subtract 13 from −8 to get −21.

240=3x−21+x−15

Combine 3x and x to get 4x.

240=4x−21−15

Subtract 15 from −21 to get −36.

240=4x−36

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

4x−36=240

Add 36 to both sides.

4x=240+36

Add 240 and 36 to get 276.

4x=276

Divide both sides by 4.

x= 4/276  

Divide 276 by 4 to get 69.

x=69

Votes for the winner: 69

Votes for candidate 1: 69 - 8 = 61

Votes for candidate 2: 69 - 13 = 56

Votes for candidate 3: 69 - 15 = 54

The candidate that had the lowest number of votes received 54 votes.

ABDE is a rectangle ED is 8cm BDC is a right-angled triangle bc is 4.5cm ABC is a straight line the area of the rectangle abde is 40cm^2 work out the area of the triangle BDC
also I need working out sooooooo

Answers

Answer:

11.25cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

given the area of the rectangle as 40cm^2, we can get the width of the rectangle.

Area =Length x width

40cm^2 = 8cm x width

we can divide both sides 8 to be left with the width

40/8 = 5cm

so the width is 5cm which is equal to the height of the triangle.

Area of BDC = 1/2 x base x height

BDC = 1/2 x 4.5 x 5

=11.25cm^2

Multiply the rational expressions 2x^2 - 4x - 6 x^2 - 4 ——————- • ——————— x + 2 2x^2 + 2x

Answers

Answer:

C =(x-3)(x-2)/x

or

x²-5x+6/x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 - 4x - 6/x + 2 * x^2 - 4/2x^2 + 2x

Factorizing the given factors

1) 2x^2 - 4x - 6

= 2x^2 - 6x+2x - 6

= 2x(x-3) +2(x-3)

= (x-3)(2x+2)

2) x^2 - 4

= (x+2) (x-2)

3) 2x^2 + 2x

= 2x( x+1)

Putting the factors

(x-3)(2x+2)/x + 2   *  (x+2) (x-2)/2x( x+1)

= (x-3)(2x+2) (x-2)/2x( x+1)

= 2(x-3)(x+1) (x-2)/2x( x+1)

=(x-3)(x-2)/x

Now multiply

(x-3)(x-2) =x²-5x+6

Then the answer becomes  x²-5x+6/x

So lets start with the first one:

-15+7

We are going to add these together, and will get -8.

Next we have:

-10+(-20)

When there is both a subtraction or negative sign, and a plus sign, the plus sign is removed.

So we can think of this as:

-10-20

And since the -10 is negative, and we are subtracting it, it is going to get more engative:

-10-20=-30

This is the solution answer.

I’m struggling in finding the nearest cent, May you please help me

Answers

Answer:

$88.48

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can check the formula for compound interest, which is

[tex]A = P (1 + r)^{n}[/tex] , with A representing the end amount, r representing the interest rate, and n representing the amount of times compounded. We know that the interest rate is 9% (to convert this to a decimal, we can divide it by 100, resulting in 0.09), the end amount is 700, and the amount of times compounded is however many months are in 2 years (there are 12 months per year, and 12 *2 = 24, so 24 times).

Thus, our equation is

[tex]700 = P (1 + 0.09)^{24}\\700 = P (7.911083)\\[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7.911083 to isolate P, and we get

P = 88.48 (rounded to the nearest cent)

if h(x)=x-7 and g(x)= x^2, which expression is equivalent to (goh)(5)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

(goh)(x) = g(x-7)

g(x-7) = (x-7)^2

g(x-7)= x^2 - 14x + 49

(goh) = x^2 - 14x + 49

(goh)(5) = 5^2 - 14(5) + 49

Answer:

m ∠S = 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angle = Sum of opposite interior angles

(6x)° = 77° + (2x + 3)°

6x = 77 + 2x + 3

6x - 2x = 77 + 3

4x = 80

x = 20

m ∠S = (2x + 3)° = 2(20) + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43°

Answer:

∠ S = 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ PQR is an exterior angle of the triangle, then

6x = 77 + 2x + 3 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

4x = 80 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 20

Then

∠ S = 2x + 3 = 2(20) + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43°
