What is the location of the point on the number line that is 3/5 of the way from a=2 to b=17

Mathematics
1 answer:
makkiz [27]3 years ago

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance that a is to b is b-a=17-2=15.

The line segment from a=2 to b=17 has length 15.

We need to know what is 3/5 of 15.

3/5 of 15 means what is 3/5 times 15?

(3/5)(15)=3(3)=9

So this means we are looking to make a line segment that is 9 units from 2 which is 2 to 11.

So 11 is 3/5 the way from a=2 to b=17.

Let's check from 2 to 11 that is a length of 9 and from 2 to 17 that is a length of 15.

Is 9/15 equal to 3/5?

Yes, 9/15 can be reduced to 3/5.

Which one of the following reasons does NOT explain why 4x+5y≠9xy?
viva [34]
<h3>The terms 4x and 5y has different variable present in it. 4x + 5y \neq 9xy</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

4x + 5y \neq 9xy

<em><u>The reason is:</u></em>

When we are adding terms which has exactly the same variables, we must add the constants and let the result stand with variable

Which means,

4x + 10x = 14x

But,

We cannot add terms that has different variable

Which means,

4x + 5y

Here, both the terms 4x and 5y has different variable present in it. Hence they cannot be added together

4x+5y\neq 9xy

What is the length of AB?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

AB = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The side opposite the 30 degree angle will have the shortest length. The side opposite the 60 degree angle will be  √3  times as long, and the side opposite the 90 degree angle will be twice as long.

In this case we just divide 10 by 2
