Answer:

x =9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = be the number

2x -3 =15

Add 3 to each side

2x-3 +3 =15 +3

2x = 18

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =18/2

x =9

Answer: x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Three (3) less than (-) twice (2) a number (x) is (=) 15

3-2x=15

-2x=15-3\\-2x=12\\x=\frac{12}{-2}\\ x=-6

The ratio of dogs to cats at a local animal shelter is 13/25. Which statement must be true?
Ivan

<em>Option:</em>

<em>a. for every 13 dogs, there are 25 cats. </em>

<em>b. there are twice as many cats as dogs at the shelter. </em>

<em>c. the shelter has more dogs than cats. </em>

<em>d. there are 25 animals in the shelter.</em>

Answer:

a. for every 13 dogs, there are 25 cats.

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Dogs with D and Cats with C;

So;

\frac{D}{C} = \frac{13}{25}

By comparison:

D=13

C = 25

This implies that:

For every 13 D, there are 25 C

Hence: Option A is true

What is the length of RU?
marta [7]

Answer:

Length of RU is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔRSt and ΔRUT,

ST ≅ TU [Given]

RT ≅ RT [Reflexive property]

∠RTS ≅ ∠RTU [Both the angles are the right angles]

ΔRTS ≅ ΔRTU [By SAS property of congruence]

Therefore, RS ≅ RU [By CPCTC (corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent]

8x = 6x + 5

8x - 6x = 5

2x = 5

x = 2.5

Length of RU = (6x + 5)

                      = 6(2.5) + 5

                      = 15 + 5

                      = 20

Length of RU is 20 units.

For the point P (-17,25) and Q(-10,30), fins the distance d(P,Q) and the coordinates of the midpoint M of the segment PQ.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Distance = 8.6

M = (-13.5,27.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = \sqrt{(x_{2 }- x_{1 })^2 + (y_{2 }- y_{1 })^2

= \sqrt{(-10_ }- (-17)_{ })^2 + (30_{ }- 25_{ })^2

= \sqrt{(-10_{ }+ 17_{ })^2 + 5^2_

= \sqrt{7^2+5^2}

= \sqrt{49+25}

= \sqrt{74}

= 8.6

Midpoint = (\frac{x_{2}+x_{1}}{2};\frac{y_{2}+y_{1}}{2})

= (-10+(-17)) ÷ 2 ; (30+25) ÷ 2

= -27 ÷2 ; 55 ÷ 2

= -13.5, 27.5
