Answer:

$BC=15\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram opposite sides are congruent

In this problem

we have that

AB and DC are opposite sides

AD and BC are opposite sides

so

AB=DC

AD=BC

step 1

Find the value of x

AB=DC

substitute the given values

$x+15=4x$

solve for x

$4x-x=15$

$3x=15$

$x=5\ units$

step 2

Find the length of AD

we have that

$AD=x+10$

substitute the value of x

$AD=5+10=15\ units$

step 3

Find the length of BC

Remember that

AD=BC ----> by opposite sides

therefore

$BC=15\ units$

Find the value of the variable y, where the sum of the fractions 6/(y+1) and y/(y-2) is equal to their product.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The answer is

$y = 3$

$y = - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find a solution where

$\frac{6}{y + 1} + \frac{y}{y - 2} = \frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y}{y - 2}$

Consider the Left Side:

First, to add fraction multiply each fraction on the left by it corresponding denomiator and we should get

$\frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y - 2}{y - 2} + \frac{y}{y - 2} \times \frac{y + 1}{y + 1}$

Which equals

$\frac{6y - 12}{(y -2) (y + 1)} + \frac{ {y}^{2} + y }{(y - 2)(y + 1)}$

Add the fractions

$\frac{y {}^{2} + 7y - 12 }{(y - 2)(y + 1)} = \frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y}{y - 2}$

Simplify the right side by multiplying the fraction

$\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y + 2)}$

Set both fractions equal to each other

$\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y - 2)} = \frac{ {y}^{2} + 7y - 12}{(y + 1)(y - 2)}$

Since the denomiator are equal, we must set the numerator equal to each other

$6y = {y}^{2} + 7y - 12$

$= {y}^{2} + y - 12$

$(y + 4)(y - 3)$

$y = - 4$

$y = 3$

You are creating a decorative rope that is at least 20 feet long. You do not have enough 6 inch beads to make the rope, so you w

Inessa05 [86]

You can use at most 24 beads that are 10 inches long to decorate the rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of rope = 120 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

20 foot = 20*12 = 240 inches

Length of bead = 10 inches

Let,

x represents the number of beads used on rope.

As the rope is 240 inches long, therefore, the total length of beads cannot exceed 240 inches.

Length of each bead*Number of beads ≤ length of rope

$10*x\leq 240\\10x\leq 240$

Dividing both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10}\leq \frac{240}{10}\\x\leq 24$

You can use at most 24 beads that are 10 inches long to decorate the rope.
