How can one fourthx − 3 = one halfx + 8 be set up as a system of equations?

<span>The answer is B.

The reason being is that in this option they have set both sides of the equation separately equal to y. Since they are equal to each other, they would both have to be equal to an unknown y. This would look like this.
y = 1/4x - 3
y = 1/2x + 8.

Then to remove the fractions in each, they multiplied by the denominator associated with x. So, you multiply the first equation by 4.
4y = x - 12.
Then they solve for the numerical value at the end.
4y - x = -12.

You can do the same with the second equation.
y = 1/2x + 8
2y = x + 16
2y - x = 16

These are now the two equations above. </span>

What is the answer??
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

HK = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

LM = (1/2) HK          {Mid point theorem}

10x - 90 = \frac{1}{2}(10x - 80) \\

2*(10x - 90) = 10x - 80

2*10x - 2*90 = 10x - 80

20x - 180     = 10x - 80                   {add 180 to both sides}

           20x  = 10x - 80 + 180

          20x  = 10x +100              {Subtract 10x from both sides from }

     20x -10x = 100

            10x  = 100

                x = 100/10

               x = 10

HK = 10x - 80

     = 10*10 - 80

     = 100 - 80

     = 20

A side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of 128°. Find the value of x.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

x = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

24+x = 128

Subtract 24 from each side

24+x-24 =128 -24

x =104

You jog 2 kilometers in 12 minutes. Your friend jogs 3 kilometers in 16.5 minutes. Who jogs faster? You jog faster. Your friend
Darya [45]

Answer:

a) Who jogs faster?

Your friend jogs faster because he jogs with a speed of 10.91 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance(km)/Time(hours)

Question 2 How much sooner will the faster jogger finish a five-kilometer race?

Your friend's will finish a 5km race at a speed of 18.18 km/hr

Your speed is :

You jog 2 kilometers in 12 minutes.

Convert 12 minutes to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

12 minutes = x

x = 12/60

x = 1/5 hour

Your speed is calculated as:

2km/1/5hour

= 2 km ÷ 1/5 hour

= 2 × 5

= 10 km/hr

Your friend's speed is calculated as:

Your friend jogs 3 kilometers in 16.5 minutes.

Convert 16.5 minutes to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

16.5 minutes = x

x = 16.5/60

x = 0.275 hour

Your speed is calculated as:

3km/0.275 hour

= 10.909090909 km/hr

Approximately = 10.91km/hr

a) Who jogs faster?

Your friend jogs faster because he jogs with a speed of 10.91 km/hr

Question 2 How much sooner will the faster jogger finish a five-kilometer race?

Your friend jogs faster, hence:

3 km = 10.91 km/hr

5km = x

x = 5 × 10.91/3

x = 18.183333333 km/hr

Your friend's will finish a 5km race at a speed of 18.18 km/hr
