x = 8

Solution:

Side-splitter theorem:

If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally.

$$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{21} =\frac{x}{42}$

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 4 × 42 = 21x

Divide by 21 on both sides, we get

⇒ 4 × 2 = x

⇒ 8 = x

Switch the sides.

⇒ x = 8

The value of x is 8.

Please help, i can't figure this out and im ready to pull my hair out!!!

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

I'm sorry I don't know the equation, but she walks 3 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the answer is asking for speed, which needs both distance and time, so we also need both. Which is where the 9 mph is used. 9 mph means its a difference. b means biking mph, w means walking mph, sooo ----->>> b=w+9, and the difference in the 1st equation is 36, which means the first equation is 4 times larger than the b=w+9, so she walked 48 miles, as well as walked 12 miles in 4 hours. Divide then distances by 4, and you get 12 miles and 3 miles in one hour. Or 12 mph & 3 mph, which fits into 12=3+9. So she walks 3 miles per hour.

Ammonia at 70 F with a quality of 50% and a total mass of 4.5 lbm is in a rigid tank with an outlet valve at the bottom. How muc

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

0.10865 killograms

Step-by-step explanation:

calculating the liquid mass of ammonia removed through the bottom value from a rigid tank at constant temperature.

Given:

temperature: $T=70 F$

quality : 50% = 0.5

initial mass: $m1= 4.5 lbm$

to find the removed liquid mass first we have to find total volume from which we can find remaining mass. as the tang is rigid the temperature and volume remains constant.

by taking the difference of mass we can determine the mass of liquid removed.

we have two phases at temperature $T= 70 F$ with specific volume for liquid $vf=0.02631 ft^3/lbm$ and specific volume for vapor is $vg=2.3098 ft^3/lbm$ .
