Answer:

The value of m is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$\frac{1}{3}m = 12-m$

Solve the equation for m.

Multiply both the sides by 3.

$\frac{1}{3}m\times 3 = 3(12-m)$

$m= 36-3m$

Add 3m to the both side.

$m+3m= 36-3m+3m$

$4m= 36$

Divide both the sides by 4.

$\frac{4m}{4}=\frac{36}{4}$

$m=9$

Hence the value of m is 9.

What is the value of q?

skad [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔSQR and ΔTSR are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{SR}{QR}=\dfrac{TR}{SR}$

We have:

SR = q

QR = 10 + 4 = 14

TR = 4

Substitute:

$\dfrac{q}{14}=\dfrac{4}{q}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$(q)(q)=(14)(4)\\\\q^2=56\to q=\sqrt{56}\\\\q=\sqrt{4\cdot14}\\\\q=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{14}\\\\q=2\sqrt{14}$

Weights of different sandwiches in two lengths are shown in the table.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Egg salad sandwich is proportional to its length

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of Sandwiches by Length of Roll

6-inch Roll 12-Inch Roll

Cheese sandwich $\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{3}{4}$

Chicken salad sandwich $\frac{3}{4}$ $1\frac{3}{4}$

Egg salad sandwich $\frac{2}{3}$ $1\frac{1}{3}$

For cheese sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{12}{\frac{3}{4}}\\24 \neq 16$

So, Cheese sandwich weight is not proportional to its length

For Chicken salad sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{12}{\frac{7}{4}}\\8 \neq \frac{48}{7}$

So, chicken salad sandwich is not proportional to its length

For Egg salad sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{12}{\frac{4}{3}}\\9=9$

So, egg salad sandwich is proportional to its length

Answer:

b=-a

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that b is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction.

so the sum of the two numbers equal zero

a+b=0

a=-b or b=-a
