This could be done in two ways. If the first number is 4, then you could add 4 with -16. 4 + (-16) is -12. But it could also be -16 + 4, which still equals to -12.

But in the end, your answer is the same : -16 is the other number.

Which of the following ordered pairs could be placed in the table below and still have the relation qualify as a linear function

jeyben [28]

Y increases by 8 as x increases by 2 so the relationship is linear with slope 4. That is y=4x+c and 7=-20+c, so c=27.
The relationship seems to be y=4x+27. The only point to fit this equation is (1,31), Answer 3

Could someone please help me with this

Well if 1/16 costs $2 then you do 16*2 to find the cost of 16/16 aka 1 pound. 16*2=32 so the answer is x = 32.

In a trapezoid the lengths of bases are 11 and 18. The lengths of legs are 3 and 7. The extensions of the legs meet at some poin

FrozenT [24]

Answer: The length of segments between this point and the vertices of greater base are $7\frac{5}{7}$ and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD is the trapezoid, ( shown in below diagram)

In which AB is the greater base and AB = 18 DC= 11, AD= 3 and BC = 7

Let P is the point where The extended legs meet,

So, according to the question, we have to find out : AP and BP

In Δ APB and Δ DPC,

∠ DPC ≅ ∠APB ( reflexive)

∠ PDC ≅ ∠ PAB ( By alternative interior angle theorem)

And, ∠ PCD ≅ ∠ PBA ( By alternative interior angle theorem)

Therefore, By AAA similarity postulate,

$\triangle APB\sim \triangle D PC$

Let, DP =x

⇒ $\frac{3+x}{18} = \frac{x}{11}$

⇒ 33 +11x = 18x

⇒ x = 33/7= $4\frac{5}{7}$

Thus, PD= $4\frac{5}{7}$

But, AP= PD + DA

AP= $4\frac{5}{7}+3 =7\frac{5}{7}$

Now, let PC =y,

⇒ $\frac{7+y}{18} = \frac{y}{11}$

⇒ 77 + 11y = 18y

⇒ y = 77/7 = 11

Thus, PC= 11

But, PB= PC + CB

PB= 11+7 = 18
