Answer:
JK=7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the line segment, since J is on it ,it means the line segment is
represented as I J K
from this illustration, we can say that the longest part of the line segment is from I to K
this means that, IJ +JK =IK
making JK the subject,
JK= IK - IJ
but from the question, JK=2x-1 , IK=3x+2 and IJ=3x-5
substituting them in the expression,
2x-1 =3x+2 -(3x-5)
solving for x
2x-1 =3x+2-3x+5
2x-1 =0+7
2x-1 =7
2x=1+7
2x=8
dividing through by 2
2x/2 =8/2
x=4
but the question says we should find the numerical value for JK
but from the line segment,
JK=2x-1
but now we know the value of x to be 2
so substituting it in the formula
JK= 2(4)-1
JK=8-1
JK=7
therefore, the numerical value for JK is 7
For this question, it would be most effective to use an algebraic expression to more easily show what the question is asking. If we use the variable "k" to show the distance in km that he cycled on Sunday, we know that the amount he cycled on Saturday equals k + 12, and the amount that he cycled on the weekend should be the amount of Saturday plus the amount of Sunday. If we write this as an equation we say:
k + k + 12 = 38
=> 2k + 12 = 38
Now we can just rearrange and solve for k:
=> 2k = 26
=> k = 26/2 = 13
Therefore Patrick cycled 13km on Sunday
To solve the answer, we just add 12km to the value for Sunday like so:
12 + 13 = the amount he cycled on Sunday
Hope this helped, remember to please try and understand the maths as well as the answer :))
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution by substitution method
y=7x+8
∴y-7x=8
and y=x+20
∴y-x=20
Suppose,
-7x+y=8→(1)
and -x+y=20→(2)
Taking equation (1), we have
-7x+y=8
⇒y=7x+8→(3)
Putting y=7x+8 in equation (2), we get
-x + 7x + 8 = 20
6x = 20-8
6x = 12
x= 12 / 6
x = 2
substitute for x in equation (3)
y = 7(x) + 8
y = 7(2) + 8
y = 22
Answer:
2( 2n-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
4n-6
2*2 n - 2*3
Factor out the greatest common factor
2( 2n-3)
8+(x/-9)=9 subtract 8
x/-9= 1 multiply by -9
x= -9
