Setler79 [48]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the two similar triangles

JK/MN = JL/MP

25/30 = 20/(4X - 4)

CROSS MULTIPLY

25(4X - 4) = 30 × 20

100X - 100 = 600

COLLECTING LIKE TERMS

100X = 600 + 100

100X = 700

DIVIDING THROUGH BY 100

X = 700/100

X = 7

What is the slope of the following linear equation y + 2x = 5 ?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. Since the given equation is not in the exact slope-intercept form, we need to rearrange it to identify the slope.

y + 2x = 5                         <----- Given equation

y = -2x + 5                       <----- Subtract 2x from both sides

Now, we can see that in the "m" position, there is a value of -2. This makes the slope = -2.

6x - 2(x + 2) &gt; 2 - 3(x+3)<br><br>Solve the inequality <br><br>plz help ​
Mumz [18]

Answer:

x > -3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2(x + 2) > 2 - 3(x + 3)

Distribute the two and three inside the parenthesis.

6x - 2x - 4 > 2 - 3x - 9

Combine like terms.

4x - 4 > -3x - 7

Add 4 to both sides.

4x > -3x - 3

Add 3x to both sides.

7x > -3

Divide both sides by 7.

x > -3/7

What is a Cartesian plan?
nataly862011 [7]
I'm assuming you mean Cartesian plane. It is the same as a coordinate plane. There are two perpendicular lines with an x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axis.
