<h3>Answer: 47</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

Connect points A and B with a line segment. Through the HL (hypotenuse leg) congruence theorem, you can prove triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ABD. From there, using CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) we know that BC = BD.

In short: tangents from an external point are the same length.

------

BC = BD

-2x+85 = 5x-48

85+48 = 5x+2x

133 = 7x

7x = 133

x = 133/7

x = 19

-----

Use this x value to find the length of BC

BC = -2x+85

BC = -2(19)+85

BC = -38+85

BC = 47

and let's check BD as well. It should also be 47 units long.

BD = 5x-48

BD = 5*19-48

BD = 95-48

BD = 47

This confirms our answer.

Ava estimates that 475 songs will fit on her iPad. The actual amount of songs that fit is 350. Find her percent of error.
alukav5142 [94]

Given:

Ava estimates that 475 songs will fit on her iPad.

The actual amount of songs that fit is 350.

To find:

The percent of error.

Solution:

We know that,

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{\text{Estimated values - Actual value}}{\text{Actual value}}\times 100

Putting the given values, we get

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{475-350}{350}\times 100

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{125}{350}\times 100

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{250}{7}

\text{Percent error}\approx 35.71\%

Therefore, the percent of error is 35.71%.

Help please !!! I don’t know what to do
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

  6.  x = 3

  8.  x = -7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the number in place of the expression it is equal to, then solve for x.

__

6) g(x) = -x +5

  2 = -x +5 . . . . . . . . . g(x) is replaced by 2, because g(x) = 2

  x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . . . add x to both sides

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2 from both sides

__

8) n(x) = -2x -21

  -6 = -2x -21 . . . . . n(x) is replaced by its equal: -6

  3 = x +10.5 . . . . . . divide both sides by -2

  -7.5 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 10.5 from both sides

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

We have shown a couple of ways these equations can be solved. You can separate the x-term and the constant terms before you divide by the x-coefficient, or you can do it after. In the first equation, we could have solved it ...

  2  -x +5

  -3 = -x . . . .  subtract 5

  3 = x . . . . . . multiply by -1

The way we did it avoids negative numbers.

Solve this equation. Enter your answer in the box.<br> 13(y+7)=3(y−1).
Fofino [41]

★To Solve :

\rm\blue{13(y+7) = 3(y-1)}

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

★SOLUTION :

\rm\red\leadsto{13(y+7) = 3(y-1)}

\rm\red\leadsto{13\times{y}+13\times7= 3\times{y}-3\times1}

\rm\red\leadsto{13y+91=3y-3}

\rm\red\leadsto{13y-3y=-3-91}

\rm\red\leadsto{10y=-94}

\rm\red\leadsto{} y =\dfrac{   { \cancel{-94}}^{ \:-45 } }{   { \cancel{10}}^{ \: 5} }

\rm\red\leadsto{y=}\dfrac{-47}{5}
