This is a proportion question.

0.5:40 miles :: 5:x

Translated into division you get 0.5/40 = 5/x          Cross multiply

0.5 x = 40 * 5                   combine the right

0.5x = 200                       divide by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 200/0.5          Divide

x = 400

Answer: The two cities are 400 miles apart

Find x and y please!!! I need help!!
jonny [76]

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

(15x-8y)=52

180=90+52+x

x=38

System of equations:

15x-8y=52

6x+14y=38

y=-6.5+15/8x

6x+14(-6.5+15/8x)=38

6x-91+26.25x=38

32.25x=129

x=4

15(4)-8y=52

60-8y=52

-8y=-8

y=1

x=4

How do I construct bisectors, angles, & segments?
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These come directly from my textbook, so I'm not sure if your teacher will accept this kind of work.

1. Angle construction:

Given an angle. construct an angle congruent to the given angle.

Given: Angle ABC

Construct: An angle congruent to angle ABC

Procedure:

1. Draw a ray. Label it ray RY.

2. Using B as center and any radius, draw an arc that intersects ray BA and ray BC. Label the points of intersection D and E, respectively.

3. Using R as center and the same radius as in Step 2, draw an arc intersecting ray RY. Label the arc XS, with S being the point where the arc intersects ray RY.

4. Using S as center and a radius equal to DE, draw an arc that intersects arc XS at a point Q.

5. Draw ray RQ.

Justification (for congruence): If you draw line segment DE and line segment QS, triangle DBE is congruent to triangle QRS (SSS postulate) Then angle QRS is congruent to angle ABC.

You can probably also Google videos if it's hard to imagine this. Sorry, construction is super hard to describe.

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

10/5 ×/3 multiply 10×3 and than divide by 5

or another way start with multiplying 5 and n equaling 5n=

than 10× 3= 30 so you're left with 5n=30 divied 30 by 5 equalling 6

so x=6
