Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since S is the midpoint of RT, then RS = ST

RS = RT - ST = (3x + 7) - (x + 7) = 3x + 7 - x - 7 = 2x

so we get that RS = 2x

but since RS = ST, and RS=2x & ST=x+7

then 2x = x + 7

2x-x = 7

x = 7

ST = x+7 = 7+7 = 14

P.S. Hope it makes sense. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments senction. I'll be happy to help. Have a wonderful day!

Write the equation of the line parallel to 5x + y = -2 that goes through the point (2, -3).

gladu [14]

Answer:

y = -5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Define

5x + y = -2

Random point (2, -3)

Step 2: Rewrite

y = -5x - 2

m = -5

Step 3: Write parallel line

y = -5x + b

-3 = -5(2) + b

-3 = -10 + b

7 = b

y = -5x + 7

one third of a land is on maize, a fifth of the remainder is on potatoes and the rest which is 0.5 ha is on beans. how much of t

disa [49]

Answer: $1250\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Total land.

Then for Maize = $\dfrac{x}{3}$

For Potatoes = $\dfrac15(x-\dfrac {x}{3})=\dfrac15(\dfrac{2x}{3})=\dfrac{2}{15}x$

For beans = $x- (\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{2}{15}x)=0.5 \ ha$

$\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{5x+2x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{7x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{15x-7x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{8x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.5\times\dfrac{15}{8} \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.9375 \ ha$

1 ha = 10000.00 m²

0.9375 ha = 9375 m²

Land for potatoes = $\dfrac{2}{15}(9375) =1250\ m^2$

Hence, $1250\ m^2$ of the land is on potatoes.
