Answer:

x=5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The bar is 9 feet long

so

x+(x-1)=9

Solve for x

2x-1=9

2x=10

x=5\ ft

Verify

40x=50(x-1)

substitute the value of x

40(5)=50(5-1)

40(5)=50(4)

200=200 -----> the weights are perfectly balanced

So...we can write eqn as

40x = 50(x-1)
so. -10x=-50
so. x=5

therefore .... the distance of 40 lb will be 5 ft ...answer !!!

Consider △LNM. Which statements are true for triangle LNM? Check all that apply. The side opposite ∠L is NM. The side opposite ∠
Anvisha [2.4K]

The following statements are true by definition:

The side opposite ∠L is NM.

The side opposite ∠N is ML.

The side opposite to the angle should not contain any letter of that side.

 

<span>The following statements are not essentially true because we have no idea if triangle LNM is a right triangle (if it is, then we do not know what the hypotenuse is):</span>

The hypotenuse is NM.

The hypotenuse is LN.

 

<span>The following statements are not true:</span>

The side adjacent ∠L is NM.

The side adjacent ∠N is ML.

They are not true because the side adjacent to an angle should have its letter on the side. For example, the side adjacent to ∠L should be LN or LM and for ∠N it should be NM or NL.

What number makes the sentence true?<br> 15 – 7 = 3+1
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Although you didn't give me any answers to go with your problem, I am assuming that since 15-7 is 8, and 3 + 1 = 4, the answer should be 4. Now regarding if it is times, it would be x2. Because for times 2 would be 8. Overall the answer should be 4.

Answer:

Plot the points in black and connect them.

Plot the point in blue and count up 3 and to the right 1. Plot and connect the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using your cursor/mouse, you will first choose the color black. Then you will plot the points given to you (2,2) and (5,8) by first finding the x-coordinate of (x,y). Start at 2 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up two units so you will also be at the 2 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Go back to the x-axis and start again at 5 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up eight units so you will also be at the 8 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Connect the dots for your line.

Using your cursor/mouse, you will choose the color blue. Then you will plot the point given to you (10,5) by first finding the x-coordinate of (x,y). Start at 10 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up five units so you will also be at the 5 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Instead of plotting another point. This time you will count from the blue point up three units and over to the right one. Mark this grid line as a point. Now connect them.

Solve 2x2 − 8x = −7.
leva [86]
\sf 2x^2 - 8x = - 7  \\  \\ Subtract \ -7 \ from \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation. \\  \\ 2x^2 - 8x - (-7 ) = - 7 - (-7)  \\  \\ 2x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0  \\  \\ Use \ quadratic \ formula \ a = 2, b = -8, c = 7 \\  \\ x =  \dfrac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^2- 4ac} }{2a}  \\  \\  \\ x =  \dfrac{-(-8) \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4 (2) (7) } }{2(2)}  \\  \\ x =  \dfrac{8 \pm  \sqrt{8} }{4}  \\  \\ x = 2 +  \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2} \ or \ x = 2 +  \frac{-1}{2}  \sqrt{2}
