If point Y is between points X and Z, then

XY + YZ = XZ

In words, the distance from X to Y, plus the distance from Y to Z, is equal to the distance from X to Z. (See the attached picture.)

So 6b + 8b = 175

Can you finish it?

Answer:

The value of b is 12.5. The length of YZ is 100 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: XY=6b, YZ=8b, XZ=175 and Y is between X and Z.

It means X,Y, Z are collinear points and  point Y divides the line segment XZ is two ports.

Using segment addition property, we get

XY+YZ=XZ

Substitute XY=6b, YZ=8b, XZ=175 in the above equation.

6b+8b=175

14b=175

Divide both sides by 14.

b=\frac{175}{14}

b=12.5

The value of b is 12.5.

The length of YZ is

YZ=8b=8\times 12.5=100

Therefore the length of YZ is 100 units.

Diana works in a building that is 130 feet tall. She is outside, looking up at the building at an angle of 37° from her feet to
AveGali [126]
Let x be her initial distance from the building, then tan 37 = 130/x
x = 130/tan 37 = 130/0.7536 = 172.5 feet

Let y be her distance from the building after moving forward, then
tan 40 = 130/y
y = 130/tan 40 = 130/0.8391 = 154.9

After moving forward, she is 172.5 - 154.9 = 17.6 ft closer.

What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form (-1,5) and (1,-3)?
Harrizon [31]
Slope intercept means
y=mx+c
the slope of the line is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-3-5)/(1+1)= -4
the equation of the line is
y-5 = -4(x+1)
4x+y-1=0
changing the equation into slope intercept form
y= -4x+1

A football is kicked from the ground so that its height n (in feet) t seconds after being kicked is given by h(t) = –16+48t.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

h(t) = –16+48t

h(32)=-16+48(32)

h(32)=-16+ 1536

h(32)= 1520seconds

If f(x) = 3x-2 and g(x) = 2x + 1 find (f-g)(x)
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x-2

g(x) = 2x + 1

(f-g)(x) = 3x-2 - (2x+1)

Distribute the minus sign

          =3x-2-2x-1

Combine like terms

        = 3x-2x-2-1

        =x-3
