Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 increased by half of a number is 28. What is the number?

-12 + 1/2x = 28

1/2x = 28 + 12

1/2x = 40

x = 40 * 2

x = 80

----------------------

check

-12+ 1/2 * 80 = 28

-12 + 40 = 28

28 = 28

this answer and the other answer are good

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

28-28=0

0-12= -12

28+12 = 40

28-40 = -12

40 is the increase

40 is half of 80

So, the answer is 80

To check: -12 + 40 (half of a number; 80) = 28

Hope this makes sense. If you require further information, do not hesitate to ask!

(2x/3)-(5x/9)-(x/6)-(5x/12)=13/2 this equation is equivalent to:

agasfer [191]

Answer:

-17x=234

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$\dfrac{2x}{3}-\dfrac{5x}{9}-\dfrac{x}{6}-\dfrac{5x}{12}=\dfrac{13}{2}$

$\dfrac{72x-60x -18x-45x }{108} = \dfrac{13}{2}$

$\dfrac{-51x }{108} = \dfrac{13}{2}$

$-102x = 1404$

$-\dfrac{102x}{6} = \dfrac{1404}{6}$

-17x = 234

Find the length of the tangent segment AB to the circles centered at O and O' whose radii are a and b respectively when the circ

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$AB=2\sqrt{ab}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure,

$OA=a, \quad \quad O'B=b\\\Rightarrow OO'= (a+b) \quad \quad \text{and}\quad OD=(a-b)$

In triangle $OO'D$

$(OO')^2=(OD)^2+(O' D)^2$

$\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]$

Hence, $AB=2\sqrt{ab}$
