<h3>Answer:  1</h3>

Explanation:

The jump from 2 to 2&1/2 is an increase of 1/2

2 + 1/2 = 2 & 1/2

The jump from 2 & 1/2 to 1 & 1/2 is a decrease of 1

(2 & 1/2) - 1 = (2 - 1) & 1/2 = 1 & 1/2

The jump from 1 & 1/2 to 2 is an increase of 1/2

(1 & 1/2) + 1/2 = 1 + (1/2 + 1/2) = 1 + 1 = 2

The pattern seems to be "add 1/2, subtract 1". Assuming this is the case, we would then subtract 1 from the last term we got (2) to get 2-1 = 1

the sum of three numbers is 2100. the first number x is equal to the sum of the other two (y and z) which are equal to each othe

We will have a system of equations, and we are going to solve it by using substitution.
Let's make the equations.
x+y+z=2100
z+y=x
Since y and z are equal, I think it is easier for us to have them as one variable for now. Let the value of z and y be a.
These are the equations now.
x+2a=2100
2a=x
Since the second equation is giving the value of x, let it replace the value of x also in the first equation.
2a+2a=2100
4a=2100
2100÷4= 525
so, x and y equal 525. Let's put this in our original equation.
x+525+525=2100
x+ 1,050= 2,100
x= 1,050
So, x=1,050, y= 525 =z.

What is the coordinate j(2,-5) after a reflection in the line y=x?​
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(- 5, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a reflection in the line y = x

a point (x, y ) → (y, x ), thus

(2, - 5 ) → (- 5, 2 )

ABC is a right triangle. If AC = 12 and BC = 13, find AB.
AysviL [449]
Since BC is the hypotenuse...

α = 12
c = 13

Hence..

13² = 12² + ß²
ß = √(13² - 12²)
= √(169 - 144)
= √25
= 5

Hence, AB = 5

I hope this helps!
