N76 [4]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These are similar triangles, so the ratio of their sides is the same for each side.

AB = 8 and BD = 10

So, the ratio is 8:10 or 4:5

Because the triangles are similar....

The ratio of AC:CE is also 4:5

12:15 = 4:5

So, 12 is the answer!

What is an expression for the distance between the origin and a point P(x,y)

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between origin (0, 0) and point (x, y) is given as:

$d = \sqrt{ {(x - 0)}^{2} + {(y - 0)}^{2} } \\ \\ \red{ \bold{ d = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} } }}$

If you add 12 to my number and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number. Find my number.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

The number is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

[] First, let's turn all these words into something mathematical. N will equal "my number"

-> If you add 12 to my number and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.

-> n + 12 and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.

-> 3(n + 12), you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.

-> 3(n + 12) = 64 more than $\frac{2n}{3}$

-> 3(n + 12) = 64 + $\frac{2n}{3}$

[] Phew, okay. Now it is something we can solve and less scary;

[Given]

3(n + 12) = 64 + $\frac{2n}{3}$

[Distribute]

3n + 36 = 64 + $\frac{2n}{3}$

[Multiply both sides by 3]

9n + 108 = 192 + 2n

[Subtract 108 and 2n from both sides]

7n = 84

[Divide both sides by 4]

n = 12

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Which equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y =12 and passes through point -2,4

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -5/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, we first need to find the slope of the original line. We can do that by solving for y.

5x + 2y = 12

2y = -5x + 12

y = -5/2x + 6

Now that we have a slope of -5/2, we know the new slope will be the same since parallel lines have the same slope. So we can use it along with the point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = -5/2(x + 2)

y - 4 = -5/2x - 5

y = -5/2x - 1
