Answer:

18.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number

add 6:    (x+6)  

double it :   2(x+6)

result = 48.5

2 (x+6) = 48.5

x+6 = 24.25

x = 18.25

Determine the​ value(s) of h such that the matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system. [Start 2 By 3 Matrix 1s
Leni [432]

Answer: h = 9

Step-by-step explanation: A system of linear equations is consistent when it has at least one solution.

The matrix given is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\5&-7&-3\end{array}\right]

Transform this matrix in a row-echelon form:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\5&-7&-3\end{array}\right]   R_{2} = 3R_{2}+R_{1} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\0&0&-9+h\end{array}\right]

For this row-echelon form to have solutions:

-9 + h = 0

h = 9

For this system to be consistent: h = 9.

liubo4ka [24]
Y - Y2 = M(x-x2)
M = (-3/2) or (3/-2)
Y -(-3) = (-3/2) (X-2)

The central angle of a minor arc is an acute angle.
Nostrana [21]
<span>The central angle in a minor arc is acute. In a minor arc, the angle must be less than 180˚. However, it doesn't have to be less than 90˚. So the central angle is sometimes acute. 

hope this helps u leave a like if it does</span>

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 2) and (5, 4)?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

slope = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 4)

m = \frac{4-2}{5-1} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
