AB ⊥ l, B ∈ l, M ∈ AB , AM = 7 in, AB = 15 in.

Here AB is a line segment which is perpendicular to line I.

Point B lies on line I,and Point B lies on line segment AB.

⇒AB=15 [Given]

⇒AM+MB=15

⇒AM=7[given]

⇒7+MB=15

⇒MB=15-7

⇒MB=8in

So,the length of line segment MB is 8 in.

The same thing is depicted in the diagram.

A copy machine makes

IrinaK [193]

This problem can be represented in a formula with fractions. To make it more simple, we are converting 5m30s to just pure seconds, which = 154 copies in 330 seconds.

You set up the formula like this: 154/330 = x/60. (it is x/60 because you want to know the x amount of copies per 60 seconds)

Cross multiply, you get 330x = 9240. Divide both sides by 330, you get:

x = 28 copies.

The final answer is 28 copies per minute

Math riddle! Correct answer gets brainliest! Answer with what x and y are equal to.

RSB [31]

Answer:

$\displaystyle [9, 4\frac{1}{2}]$

Step-by-step explanation:

I figure these exercises out by numeric association. I see a 3, so I know right away that there might be a 9 somewhere. So, you start by plugging 3 in for $\displaystyle x,$ THEN plug $\displaystyle 1\frac{1}{2}$ in for $\displaystyle y$ sinse there are twise the quantity of $\displaystyle y$ than there are of $\displaystyle x.$ Now, doing so will give you $\displaystyle 24 ≠ 18.$ This tells you to try another pattern, so go with plugging $\displaystyle 4\frac{1}{2}$ in for $\displaystyle y$ and $\displaystyle 9$ in for $\displaystyle x$ . Doing so gives you what you are looking -- $\displaystyle 36 = 36.$ Therefore, the association wourked perfectly. ☑
