Answer:

Maddie got 810 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll call Maddie's votes x, and her opponent's votes y.

x + y = 1485

x = y + 0.20y (because she got the same number of votes as her opponent, PLUS another 20% of that number. Divide 20% by 100 to get the decimal equivalent) This can also be written as x = 1.2y

So our system is

x + y = 1485 and

x = 1.2y

Substitute the second equation's value for x into the first equation:

1.2y + y = 1485 then solve for y

2.2y = 1485

divide both sides by 2.2

y = 675

substitute that in and solve for x

x + y =1485

x + 675 = 1485

subtract 675 from both sides

x = 810

Please let me know if you have questions on this answer. Hope it helps.

Geometry question on finding x.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$x =63^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

$\text{ $\overline{MN} $ and $\overline{ML}$ are tangents .}$

We know that the tangents are perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact . And here OLMN is a quadrilateral. Also we know that , the angle sum property a triangle is 360° .

According to question :-

$\implies x + 117^o + 90^o +90^o = 360^o \\\\\implies x + 297^o = 360^o \\\\\implies x = 360^o - 297^o \\\\\implies x = 63^o$

Hence the value of x is 63° .

X=3y + 1 2x + 4y =12

Alika [10]

Answer:

the solution is (4, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal here is to "solve this system of linear equations." You need to share that along with the equations.

We can begin the solution by substituting 3y + 1 for x in the second equation:

2(3y + 1) + 4y = 12

Performing the multiplication, we get 6y + 2 + 4y = 12, or 10y = 10.

Then y must be 1.

Substituting 1 for y in the first equation, we get x = 3(1) + 1 = 4

Thus, the solution is (4, 1).
