Answer:

Janelle's conclusion is correct, because the value of x is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

m∠MKJ=m∠LKM+m∠LKJ

substitute the given values and solve for x

80°=(2x+10)°+(3x-5)°

80=5x+5

5x=80-5

5x=75

x=15

step 2

Find the value of x assuming that KL bisect the angle MKJ

m∠LKM=m∠LKJ

(2x+10)°=(3x-5)°

3x-2x=10+5

x=15

therefore

Answer:

Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of angle MKJ = 80°

Since KL is the bisector of ∠MKJ

Therefore, [m∠(MKJ) = m∠(MKL) + m∠(LKJ)]

80° = m∠(MKL) + m∠(LKJ)

∠MKL = (2x+10)° and ∠(LKJ) = (3x-5)° [given in the figure]

Therefore, (2x-10) + (3x-5) = 80

5x + 5 = 80

5x = 80 - 5

5x = 75

x = $\frac{75}{5}$

x = 15

That means for x = 15 line segment KL is the bisector of ∠MKJ.

Option C will be the answer.

Answer : 96

x – y = 16 --------> equation 1

$\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} y = 52$

x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade

We solve the first equation for y

x - y = 16

-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)

y = -16 + x

Now substitute y in second equation

$\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} ( -16 + x ) = 52$

$\frac{1}{8} x - 8 + \frac{1}{2} x = 52$

$\frac{1}{8} x + \frac{1}{2} x - 8 = 52$

Take common denominator to combine fractions

$\frac{1}{8} x + \frac{4}{8} x -8 = 52$

$\frac{5}{8} x - 8 = 52$

Add 8 on both sides

$\frac{5}{8} x = 60$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{8}{5}$

x = 96

We know x is the higher grade

96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.

Anne is running on a trail at an average speed of 6 miles per hour beginning at mile marker 4. John is running on the trail at t

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

John is running faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Average Speed of Anne = 6 miles per hour

Speed of John can be represented in the table below:

$\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c}Time (hours) x & Mile Marker y \\ 0 & 1 \\ 0.5 & 4.5 \\ 1 & 8 \\ 1.5 & 11.5 \\\end{tabular}\end{center}$

To find:

Who is running faster of the both i.e. Anne and John?

Solution:

Here, to find the faster runner we can compare the average speed of both the runners.

We are given that, average speed of Anne = 6 miles per hour

We will have to calculate the average speed of John to find the faster runner.

<em>Average speed</em> can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled with the total time taken.

Total distance traveled by John = 11.5 - 1 = 10.5 miles

Total time taken by John = 1.5 hours

Average speed of John = $\frac{10.5}{1.5} = 7\ miles/hr$

Clearly Average speed of John is greater than that of Anne's.

Therefore, <em>John runs faster</em>.

Which expression uses the commutative property of addition and the associative property of multiplication to rewrite the express

musickatia [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

many things are possible.

the only thing we must not do is mixing the addition elements with the multiplication elements.

but we could change the expression to

3×(3×8) + 5

5 + (3×3)×8

5 + (3×8)×3

and so on, and it would always be the same result.
