Starting at vertex V going until vertex S, we make our calculations.

VR = 14

Rx = x

therefore, xS = VR – Rx

xS = 14 – x                           ---> 1

 

Now starting at vertex V going left to vertex S, we make our next set of calculations. Assuming x is on VR but nearer R

VR  = 14 - x

at UV = 15 – (14 – x)

at UV = 1 + x

at TU = 7 – (1 + x)

at TU = 6 – x

at ST = 9 – (6 – x)

at ST = 3 + x                        ---> 2


Equate 1 and 2:

14 – x = 3 + x

2 x = 11

x = 5.5

The number of small lawns Isabella can rake depends on the amount of time she spends raking. Isabella can rake 3 lawns in 3.75 h
ycow [4]

Answer:

1) 4      2)7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If we divide 3.75/3=1.25 which is the amount of time she takes per yard so if we add another yard to what she has already done we find she only could do one more yard in 5 hours 3.75+1.25=5.00 So she can only rake 4 yards in 5 hours

2) If we divide 20.25/3=6.75 we find that each ticket is $6.75 so we must divide that by 47.25 to get the amount of tickets 47.25/6.75=7

Write equation for the line with a slope "undefined" and has the same x-intercept as x−y−1=0
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines with undefined slopes are perfectly vertical, of the form "x = ". A line with "the same x-intercept" as the given line that has an undefined slope will be the line that we want. I know that sounds confusing; we'll work through it then I'll explain it better. In order to find the x-intercep of the given line, solving it for y will make it a bit easier to "see". Therefore,

-y = -x + 1 and

y = x - 1. The x-intercept exists when y = 0, so setting y equal to 0 and solving for x:

0 = x - 1 and

1 = x. That's the x-intercept. It's also the line that we want that has an undefined slope, because "x = " lines are lines vertical lines and vertical lines have undefined slopes.

x = 1 is the line you want.
