Mark and Tony have a total of 121 baseball cards. Tony has 5 more than three times Mark's amount. How many cards does Mark have?

38.6666667

or 39

29

Step-by-step explanation:

make Mark x and Tony 3x + 5

X+3x+5=121

  1. (a, c) = (8, 8√3)

  2. (d, f) = (14, 14√3)

  3. (x, y) = (31, 31√3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. You can multiply these ratio values by an appropriate constant to make them match the lengths in your triangle.

__

1. a : c : 16 = 1 : √3 : 2

Multiply by 16/2 = 8:

  = 8 : 8√3 : 16

  a = 8, c = 8√3

__

2. d : f : 28 = 1 : √3 : 2

Multiply by 28/2 = 14:

  = 14 : 14√3 : 28

  d = 14, f = 14√3

__

3. x : y : 62 = 1 : √3 : 2

Multiply by 62/2 = 31:

  = 31 : 31√3 : 62

  x = 31, y = 31√3
