Answer:
x = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is attached below.
Its given that SV is parallel to RU. We have to find the value of x.
Observe that, if we join point V to U, we will obtain a parallelogram RSVU. One of the properties of a parallelogram is that the sum of its two adjacent angles is always 180 degrees.
So, the two adjacent angles would be: ∠S and ∠R
From the figure:
∠S = 5x + 4
∠R = 44 + x
Since,
∠S + ∠R must be 180 degrees, we can write:
∠S + ∠R = 180
5x + 4 + 44 + x = 180
6x + 48 = 180
6x = 132
x = 22
Therefore, the value of x is 22.
Answer:
y = ac / (a - b - c)
Step-by-step explanation:
y(a - b) = c(y + a)
Distribute
ay - by = cy + ac
Subtract cy from both sides
ay - by - cy = ac
Factor out y
y(a - b - c) = ac
Divide both sides by (a - b - c)
y = ac / (a - b - c)
Answer:
- 0.83
- 0.9
- steeper than
- slower than
Step-by-step explanation:
Letting t=1 in Ted's equation, we find that he climbs 5/6 stairs in 1 second. As a decimal, 5/6 ≈ 0.83.
Michael climbs 9 stairs in 10 seconds so his rate is ...
... (9 stairs)/(10 seconds) = (9/10) stairs/second = 0.9 stairs/second
Michael's graph will be a line with a slope of 0.9; Ted's graph will be a line with a slope of about 0.83, so the line on Michael's graph is steeper.
Ted climbs fewer stairs per second, so his rate is slower than Michael's.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>
You're being asked to compare two different rates that are associated with two different people. First the comparison is one way, then it is the other way. This can be confusing. It might be helpful to draw and label a simple chart to help you keep it straight. (The attachment is such a chart scribbled on a bit of scratch paper. It is sufficient for the purpose.)
