Triangle STU is similar to triangle SVW
so

  TU          ST
------- = ---------- (as you know SV = ST + TV  = 12 + 18 = 30)
  VW       SV
so
  TU          12
------- = ---------- 
  40          30

TU = 12 * 40 / 30
TU = 16

What is 3a+2c=26 solve for a and c
blondinia [14]

Simplifying

3a + 2b + c = 26

Solving

3a + 2b + c = 26

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2b' to each side of the equation.

3a + 2b + -2b + c = 26 + -2b

Combine like terms: 2b + -2b = 0

3a + 0 + c = 26 + -2b

3a + c = 26 + -2b

Add '-1c' to each side of the equation.

3a + c + -1c = 26 + -2b + -1c

Combine like terms: c + -1c = 0

3a + 0 = 26 + -2b + -1c

3a = 26 + -2b + -1c

Divide each side by '3'.

a = 8.666666667 + -0.6666666667b + -0.3333333333c

Simplifying

a = 8.666666667 + -0.6666666667b + -0.3333333333c

How can a rational number and irrational number when multiplied together make a irrational number ?
pochemuha

Answer:

"The product of a rational number and an irrational number is SOMETIMES irrational." If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational

A better statement would be:

"The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational

Solve for w.<br> 2w=12-4w<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
aev [14]
So we have an equation:
2w=12-4w
Firstly, let's simplify, and divide all terms by 2:
w=6-2w
Now, we add 2w over to the other side:
3w=6
And finally, we divide both sides by 3:
w=2
Hope this helps!
