Let x represent the number of buses and y represent the number of vans required to transport 107 individuals. 1. Since each bus accommodates 31 persons, with 3 being teachers, x buses can hold (31-3)x = 28x students. Each van has space for 9 individuals, with 1 designated for a teacher, thus y vans can accommodate (9-1)y = 8y students. 2. Grant Valley School requires transport for 96 students to this picnic, leading to the equation 28x + 8y = 96. 3. To accommodate a total of 107 individuals, including 96 students and teachers, the number of teachers is 107 - 96 = 11. The x buses will seat 3x teachers and the y vans will accommodate y teachers, giving us 3x + y = 11. 4. Solve the system of equations. Solve the first equation. Answer: 2 buses and 5 vans.

If m<9=97° and m<12=114°, find each measure. I have to show my work.
Leona [12162]

Solution/Step-by-step breakdown:

Information provided:

m<9 = 97°

m<12 = 114°

a. m<1 = m<9 because they are corresponding angles, which are equal.

m<1 = 97° (using substitution)

b. m<2 + m<1 = 180° (since they form a linear pair)

m<2 + 97° = 180° (substitute the value)

m<2 = 180 - 97 (subtracting 97 from both sides)

m<2 = 83°

c. m<3 = m<11 (as they are corresponding angles)

m<11 + m<12 = 180° (linear pair)

m<11 + 114° = 180° (substituting the known angle)

m<11 = 180 - 114

m<11 = 66°

m<3 = m<11 = 66°

d. m<4 + m<3 = 180° (linear pair)

m<4 + 66° = 180° (substituting the known angle)

m<4 = 180 - 66

m<4 = 114°

e. m<5 = m<2 as vertical angles are equal.

m<5 = 83° (using substitution)

f. m<6 = m<1 (vertical angles are equal)

m<6 = 97° (using substitution)

g. m<7 = m<4 (as vertical angles are equal)

m<7 = 114° (using substitution)

h. m<8 = m<3 (due to vertical angles being equal)

m<8 = 66° (using substitution)

i. m<10 = m<2 (corresponding angles are equal)

m<10 = 83° (using substitution)

j. m<11 = m<3 (because they are vertical angles)

m<11 = 66° (using substitution)

k. m<13 = m<5 (corresponding angles)

m<13 = 83° (applying substitution)

l. m<14 = m<9 (as vertical angles)

m<14 = 97° (applying substitution)

m. m<15 = m<12 (as vertical angles)

m<15 = 114° (applying substitution)

n. m<16 = m<11 (because they are vertical angles)

m<16 = 66° (applying substitution)

Leona [12162]

Answer:

The earnings gap, over a career spanning 30 years, between men and women totals $1,200,150

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculated annually.

The typical male earns $90,761 each year.

The typical female earns $50,756 per annum.

Therefore, the annual difference is:

90,761 - 50,756 = 40,005

Across 30 years:

30*40,005 = 1,200,150

The earnings gap over a 30-year career, when comparing men and women, is $1,200,150

Which of the following equations correctly represents the law of sines?
Leona [12162]
The Law of Sines can be expressed as
b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

Next, multiply both sides by sin(B).
This leads to b = (c*sin(B))/sin(C)

Thus, the correct response is C.

Answer: C. (c*sin B)/sin C
