If the whole line is JL, then JK+KL=JL
JK:5x+8
KL:4x+4
5x+8+4x+4=84
Get all like terms on one side
5x+8+4x+4=84
-8 -4
5x+4x= 72
9x=72
x=8
Plug it into the equation
5(8)+ 8= 48
4(8)+4= 36
———————
84
So x=8
JK=48
KL=36

How many different three-letter initials with none of the letters repeated can people have?

viva [34]

This is a probablity question

there are 3 slots, 26 letters of the alphabet

so in the first slot, we have 26 possible letters
2nd slot, we have 25 possible letters (we used one for the first slot)
3rd slot, we have 24 possible letters, (we used 2 for first and 2nd slot)

so in total, we have 26*25*24 or 15600 different 3 letter initials with no repeated letters

The potential energy, P, in a spring is represented using the formula P = P equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction k x square

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

$k=\frac{2P}{x^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Which equation should she use?

we have the formula

$P=\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$

Solve for k

That means ----> isolate the variable k

Multiply by 2 both sides

$2P=kx^{2}$

Divide by x^2 both sides

$\frac{2P}{x^{2}}=k$

Rewrite

$k=\frac{2P}{x^{2}}$

A car rental agency charges 150 per week +0.45 per mile to rent car express the weekly cost to rent a car if as a function of th

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The required function is:

$C(x) = 150+0.45x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to represent the given scenario as an equation or function

Let x be the number of miles driven in a week

Let C(x) be the function of the number of miles driven

As it is given that charges are 150 per week, these charges are constant so they will be used as it is.

It is also given that the cost of car is 0.45 per mile so for x miles the cost will be:

0.45x

Combining both terms, we get

$C(x) = 150+0.45x$

Hence,

The required function is:

$C(x) = 150+0.45x$
