Mathematics
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.

x            42

------ = ----------

x+10        42+15

x            42

------ = ----------

x+10        57

Solve using cross products

57x = 42(x+10)

Distribute

57x = 42x+420

Subtract 42x from each side

57x-42x = 42x-42x+420

15x = 420

Divide by 15

15x/15 = 420/15

x=28

On this corrdinate plane UVW has been transformed to form image U’ V’ W’.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Translate the image 2 units right and 1 unit up. Then rotate the image 180°.

Take the coordinate W, it is at (2, 4).

Translate 2 units right (add 2 to the x coordinate) and 1 up (add 1 to the y coordinate)

(2, 4) ------> (2 + 2, 4 + 1) -------> (4, 5)

A rotation of 180° (doesn't matter the direction) makes the coordinates their opposites. Positives become negatives and negatives become positive.

(4, 5) -------> (-4, -5)

Reduce the fraction:<br> 7b-14b²/42b²21b
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

(1-2b)/126b^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(7b-14b^2)/(42b^2*21b)

factor out the 7b,

[7b(1-2b)]/882b^3

[7b(1-2b)]/[7b(126b^2)]

cancel out the 7b's

(1-2b)/126b^2

What property is occurring in the following example? 11.5 + (- 11.5) = 0
kramer

Answer: A property occurring in the example 11.5 + (-11.5) = 0, is additive inverse.

Step-by-step explanation:

A property where sum of any number and its inverse is equal to zero is called additive inverse property.

For example, 11.5 + (-11.5) = 0

Here, 11.5 is the number and its inverse is (-11.5). The sum of both these is equal to zero. Hence, it shows a property of additive inverse.

Thus, we can conclude that property occurring in the example 11.5 + (-11.5) = 0, is additive inverse.
