So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
The factors of 9 are: 1, 3, 9
The factors of 45 are: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
Then the greatest common factor is 9.
Answer:
1 pear = $0.75; 1 orange = $0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 3P + 4O = 4.85
(2) 3P + 10O = 8.75 Eqn (2) - Eqn (1)
3P + 10O – 3P – 4O = 8.75 – 4.85 Combine like terms
6O = 3.90 Divide each side by 6
O = $0.65 Substitute into Eqn (1)
3P + 4×0.65 = 4.85
3P + 2.60 = 4.85 Subtract 2.60 from each side
3P = 2.25 Divide each side by 3
P = $0.75
Oranges cost $0.65 each and pears are $0.75 each
Answer:

And replacing the value of
we got:

Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the long who represent the height 10 cm and the diameter is 6cm. So then the radius is given by:

Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
a + 6a - 14 = 3a + 6a
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 7a - 14 = 9a
- Subtract 7a on both sides: -14 = 2a
- Divide 2 on both sides: -7 = a
- Rewrite: a = -7
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in a into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>a</em>: -7 + 6(-7) - 14 = 3(-7) + 6(-7)
- Multiply: -7 - 42 - 14 = -21 - 42
- Subtract: -49 - 14 = -63
- Subtract: -63 = -63
Here we see that -63 is equal to -63.
∴ a = -7 is a solution of the equation.
<u>Step 4: Define equation</u>
-12 - 4x = 8x + 4(1 - 7x)
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 4: -12 - 4x = 8x + 4 - 28x
- Combine like terms: -12 - 4x = -20x + 4
- Add 20x on both sides: -12 + 16x = 4
- Add 12 on both sides: 16x = 16
- Divide 16 on both sides: x = 1
<u>Step 6: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: -12 - 4(1) = 8(1) + 4(1 - 7(1))
- Multiply: -12 - 4 = 8 + 4(1 - 7)
- Subtract: -16 = 8 + 4(-6)
- Multiply: -16 = 8 - 24
- Subtract: -16 = -16
Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.
∴ x = 1 is a solution of the equation.
