Given, IJ = 3x + 3, HI = 3x - 1, and HJ = 3x + 8.

Since I is a point on line segment HJ, we can write

$HJ=HI+IJ$ $\begin{gathered} 3x+8=(3x-1)+(3x+3) \\ 3x+8=6x+2 \\ 8-2=6x-3x \\ 6=3x \\ 2=x \end{gathered}$

Put x=2 in HJ=3x+8.

$\begin{gathered} HJ=3\times2+8 \\ HJ=6+8 \\ =14 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the numerical length of HJ is 14.

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the midpoint of side YZ. Triangle X Y Z is cut by line segment A B. Point A is

AveGali [126]

Answer:

<h3>B. 4units</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached. The diagram is a similar triangle.

From the diagram, XZ/XY = CA/AB

Given XZ = 2x-2+2x-2 = 4x-4

XY =5x-7

CA = 2x-2

AB= x+1

On substituting this parameters into the formula to get x first

4x-4/5x-7 = 2x-2/x+1

cross multiply

(4x-4)(x+1) = 5x-7(2x-2)

open the parenthesis

4x²+4x-4x-4 = 10x²-10x-14x+14

4x²-4 = 10x²-24x+14

10x²-4x²-24x+14+4 = 0

6x²-24x+18 = 0

x²-4x+3 = 0

x²-3x-x+3 = 0

x(x-3)-1(x-3) =0

(x-3)(x-1) = 0

x = 3 and 1

Next is to get length AX.

Given AX = 2x-2

Substitute x = 3 into the expression

AX = 2(3)-2

AX = 6-2

AX = 4 units

Hence the measure of length AX is 4 units

How do you solve for x?<br> 6x+7=6

skelet666 [1.2K]

<span>6x+7=6

Subtract both sides by 7
</span>6x+7-7=6-7

6x=-1

Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x
6x/6=-1/6

x=-1/6

A car braked with a constant deceleration of 64 ft/s2, producing skid marks measuring 50 ft before coming to a stop. How fast wa

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The deceleration is the rate at which the car speed decreases. In this case the speed of the car goes all the way down to 0 ft/s and in order to do that it travelled 50 ft. So we will call the initial speed at which the car started to brake "v_0" and use Torricelli's equation to find it. The equation is given by:

v^2 = (v_0)^2 + 2*a*S

Where v is the final speed, v_0 is the initial speed, a is the rate of acceleration and S is the space travelled. Using the values that the problem gave to us we have:

0^2 = (v_0)^2 - 2*64*50

0 = (v_0)^2 - 6400

(v_0)^2 = 6400

v_0 = sqrt(6400) = 80 ft/s

Notice that in this case "a" was negative, since the car was decelerating instead of accelerating.

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.
