The answer is 5.

The answer is 17/5.

The answer is sqrt(7).

   A quadrilateral has angles of $q$, $4q + 17^\circ $, $8q + 21^\circ$, and $15q + 148^\circ $.     

   Find the largest angle of the quadrilateral, in degrees.     

   q + (4q + 17) + (8q + 21) + (15q + 148)  =  360     

                                                 28q + 186  =  360     

                                                 28q            =  174     

                                                               q  =  6.214     

       q            =    6.214     

     4q +   17  =  41.856     

     8q +   21  =  70.712     

   15q + 148  =  241.210

   What is the square root of 30^2-16^2??     

   sqrt (30² – 16² )     

   sqrt (900 – 256)     

   sqrt (644)  =  25.3772  (rounded)

   Which weighs more a pound of sand or a pound of feathers?     

   LOL they weigh the same.     

   Here's a little more complex trick question for you:     

   Which weighs more, a pound of gold or a pound of feathers?     

   The feathers do, because gold is weighed using what they call the Troy system.     

   A Troy pound, weighed on your bathroom scale would register at 0.823 pounds.     

   That's because almost everything in the U.S. except precious metal is weighed     

   using what they call the avoirdupois system.  A Troy ounce weighs a little more     

   than an avoirdupois ounce, but there are only thirteen of them in a Troy pound.

   Pearl writes down seven consecutive integers, and adds them up.     

   The sum of the integers is equal to 28/5 times the largest of the seven integers.     

   What is the smallest integer that Pearl wrote down?     

   x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6)  =  28/5 • (x+6)     

                                                                    7x + 21  =  (28x + 168) / 5     

                                                                35x + 105  =  28x + 168     

                                                                            7x  =  63     

                                                                              x  =  9     

   check answer     

   Does 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15  =  28/5 • 15   ?

   Find the length of an arc that subtends a central angle of 45° in a circle of radius 30 m.     

   (Round your answer to two decimal places.)     

   All the way around the circle is 60 • π = 60 • 3.1416 = 188.496     

   All the way around the circle is 360^o, thus 45^o is 1/8 of the way     

   The length of the arc is 1/8 • 188.496 which rounds to 23.56 m     

   _.     

   The following cards are split into three piles at random, so that every pile contains the same number of cards.     

   What is the probability that every pile contains an Ace?     

   Ace of spades

   Ace of hearts

   Ace of diamonds

   Ace of clubs

   Two of spades

   Two of hearts     

    Six cards, divided evenly into three piles, has two cards per pile.     

   There can be 6C2 different piles, i.e., 15 different combinations.     

   There's only one way that a pile won't contain at least one Ace,     

   and that's when it's the stack consisting of both of the Two's.     

   So, 14 will and 1 won't, thus the probability is 14 / 15, i.e., 93.33%.

   Find the last two digits of $16*{37}$.     
   (Compute the remainder when $16*{37}$ is divided by 100.)     

   a.  16 x 37 = 592     ==>>     last two digits are 92     

   b.  No need for computation.     

        Just by looking at it               592 / 100 = 5 R 92

   If the equation y = 2x squared minus 3x minus 5 is shown on a grid, between     

   which two integers will the graph cross the x-axis (List both crossing areas)     

   y  =  2x² – 3x – 5     The curve crosses the x-axis when y = 0     

                                    2x² – 3x – 5  =  0     

                                    (2x – 5)(x + 1)  =  0          ==>>   (2x – 5)  =  0     

                                                                                          2x         =  5     

                                                                                                   x  =  2.5     

                                                                                          (x + 1)  =  0     

                                                                                                   x  =  – 1

   _.     

   what is the vertex of p=8x^2-112x+570     

   take the first derivitive     

   and set it equal to zero          16x – 112  =  0     

                                                           16x  =  112     

                                                               x  =  7        this is the x-coordinate of the vertex     

   plug the x value into the     

   original equation                     p  =  8x^2 – 112x + 570     

                                                  p  =  (8)(49) – (112)(7) + 570     

                                                  p  =  392 – 784 + 570     

                                                  p  =  178                 this is the p-coordinate of the vertex     

   so, the vertex is at (7, 178)     I verified this answer by plotting the curve on Desmos.

The answer is 1/6.

   When the same constant is added to the numbers 60, 120, and 160, a three-term geometric sequence arises.     

   What is the common ratio of the resulting sequence?     

     x + 60            x + 120     

   ––––––––  =  ––––––––     

     x + 120          x + 160     

   (x + 60)(x + 160)  =  (x +120)(x + 120)     

   x² + 220x + 9600  =  x² + 240x + 14400     

           220x + 9600  =         240x + 14400     

                      – 20x  =  4800     

                             x  =  – 240

   A salesperson's salary consists only of commissions, and she receives a 6 percent commission on all her sales.     

   As an extra incentive, this month her actual sales will be increased by 20 percent, and she will receive a commission     

   on the adjusted amount. Which of these represents the salesperson's salary this month as a function of her actual sales?

   unadjusted sales  =    S     

   adjusted sales      =    1.20 S     

   pct of adj sales     =    0.06 x 1.20 S  =  0.072 S     

   _.     

   a faucet drains a tank in 8 hours and an other one fills it in 6 hours ,

   in how many hours will the tank fill up if it is empty and both faucets are turned on the same time ?     

   Rate _{TO FILL}     = ¹/₆ tank per hour     

   Rate _{TO EMPTY} = ¹/₈ tank per hour     

   Net  =  ( ¹/₆ – ¹/₈ ) tank per hour     need common denominator     

           =  ( ⁴/₂₄ – ³/₂₄ ) tank per hour     

           =  ¹/₂₄ tank per hour     

   At ¹/₂₄ tank per hour, it will take 24 hours to fill the tank.

   _.     

   Greg earns $850.00 per week plus 4% of net sales over $15,000.00.     

   Greg's sales were $19,950.00 and his returns were $875.00.     

   How much did Greg earn?     

   19,950 – 875 = 19,075 (net)     

   Earned   =  850 + (0.04)(19,075 – 15,000)     

                 =  850 + (0.04)(4075)     

                 =  850 + 163     

                 =  1013
