Write a two column proof. If ZY=3XY, then ZX=4XY

Mathematics
1 answer:
Blababa [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As you have written

Z Y  = 3 X Y,

It means X, Y, Z are collinear points i.e they lie in the same line or line segment.

Locating points X, Y,Z  on the line

Two possibilities are possible

1. First Z, then X and then Y on the line or line segment

→ Z X + Y X= Z Y

But Z Y = 3 X Y [ Given]

→  Z X + Y X = 3 X Y

→  Z X = 3 X Y -  Y X

→  Z X = 2 X Y ⇒ which is not the result.

2. 2nd Possibility

First Z, then Y and then X on the line or line segment

→ Z X  =  Z Y + Y X

→ Z X= 3 X Y + Y X  [Z Y=3 X Y→(given)]

→ Z X= 4 X Y , Which is the result.

A jar contains 17 orange,7 pink, and 4 black marbles. A marble is drawn at random.What is the probability that the marble is pin
Grace [21]
Sample space = 17 + 7 + 4 = 28
P(pink) = 7/28
P(orange) = 17/28
P(pink or orange) = P(pink) + P(orange)
P(pink or orange) = 7/28 + 17/28
P(pink or orange) = 24/28
P(pink or orange) = 6/7 or 0.857143 or 85.7%

Steve got his car fixed for $557. After taxes it cost him $594. What was the tax rate to the nearest %?
I am Lyosha [343]
You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us 
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427

When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.

To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7

So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%
