The value of y is 5

<h3>How to determine the value </h3>

From the given line, it can be concluded that:

The segment RT is divided into RS and ST

But we have the following parameters

The length of the sides are:

RS=4y+4
ST=3y+4
RT=43

Since RT is RS added to ST:

We have;

RT = RS + ST

substitute the values

43 = 4y + 4 + 3y + 4

collect like terms

43 = 4y + 3y + 4 + 4

Add like terms

43 = 7y + 8

Make '7y' subject of formula

7y = 43 - 8

7y = 35

Make 'y' the subject of formula

y = 35/ 7

y = 5

Thus, the value of y is 5

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using elimination, and fill in the blanks.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

The student council earned $1.25 for every cup of hot chocolate it sold

and $0.75 for every cup of apple cider it sold

total number of cup is 375

We can see that first term is 1.25x

and we have

The student council earned $1.25 for every cup of hot chocolate

so, to find total cost of hot chocolate , we multiplied 1.25 with x

that's why

x must be the number of cups of hot chocolate sold

So the answer must be C

Quadrilateral RSTU has vertices R(1,3), S(4,1), T(1,-3) and U(-2,-1). Is it true or false that this is a rectangle because the d

Alex777 [14]

Given vertices ofQuadrilateral RSTU as R(1,3), S(4,1), T(1,-3) and U(-2,-1).

We need to check if diagonals are congruent.

The coordinates of verticales diagonal RT are R(1,3) and T(1,-3).

The coordinates of verticales diagonal SU are S(4,1), and U(-2,-1),

By applying distance formula:

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:distance\:between\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

RT = $=\sqrt{\left(1-1\right)^2+\left(-3-3\right)^2}$ = $\sqrt{36}$

RT = 6

SU $=\sqrt{\left(-2-4\right)^2+\left(-1-1\right)^2}$ .

$=2\sqrt{10}$ .

Diagonal RT is not congruent to Diagonal SU.

Therefore, Quadrilateral RSTU is not a rectangle because the diagonals are not congruent.

So, it is False.
