1/a+1/b=1/x solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
VashaNatasha [74]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = \frac{ab}{b+a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} = \frac{1}{x} ( express the sum on the left as a single fraction )

\frac{b+a}{ab} = \frac{1}{x} ( cross- multiply )

x(b + a) = ab ← divide both sides by (b + a)

x = \frac{ab}{b+a}

State if the three side lengths 3 mi, 12 mi, 13 mi?
marusya05 [52]

Since the sum of any two sides is greater than the third, hence the three sides for the sides of a triangle

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a 2-D shape with 3sides and angles. According to the question, we are to determine whether the given measures form sides of a triangle.

For the following measure to form the sides of a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be equal to the third as shown:

3 + 12  = 15 > 13

3 + 13 = 16 > 12

13 + 12 = 25 > 3

Since the sum of any two sides is greater than the third, hence the three sides for the sides of a triangle

Solve system of equations y=3/4x+2 5x+4y=-24
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

\left \{ {{y=-1} \atop {x=-4}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

\left \{ {{y=\frac{3}{4} x+2} \atop {5x+4y=-24}} \right.  \left \{ {{y=\frac{3}{4}x+2 } \atop {5x+4*(\frac{3}{4}x+2)=-24 }} \right. \left \{ {{y=\frac{3}{4}x+2 } \atop {5x+3x+8=-24}} \right.  \left \{ {{y=\frac{3}{4}x+2 } \atop {8x=-32}} \right. \\\left \{ {{y=\frac{3}{4}x+2 } \atop {x=-4}} \right.  \left \{ {{y=\frac{3}{4}*(-4)+2 } \atop {x=-4}} \right.  \left \{ {{y=-3+2} \atop {x=-4}} \right. =>\left \{ {{y=-1} \atop {x=-4}} \right.

What can be concluded about a pair of triangles with some congruent corresponding parts?
inna [77]
That they are congruent. to prove they are congruent you must use one of the congruent triangle postulates which are <span>SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and HL. side side side means that if all sides are congruent than the triangle is congruent. side angle side says the same about a congruent included angle with two congruent sides. angle side angle means a congruent included side in between two congruent angles. angle angle side says that two angles and an excluded side means the triangles are congruent. and hypotenuse leg means that if the hypotenuse and one leg are congruent than the whole triangle is congruent. (this only works on right triangles)</span>
