The sum of interior angles in a triangle are 180 degrees. Angle B and C are congruent. Angle B is twenty less than angle A. Write and solve a system of equations using substitution. Write and solve a system to determine the measure of angles A, B, and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Solve for A, B and C

The equation binding A, B and C have been written out (above)

Substitute C for B in

Substitute A - 20 for B

Solve for 3A

Solve for B in

Recall that

d. 145*2 is 290 than the total angle is 360 then minus 290 then divide by two

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
