Answer:

x= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

103 - 4x = 71

You have to isolate -4x by using the subtraction property of equality on 103

103(-103) -4x = 71(-103)

-4x = -32

Use Multiplication Property of Equality for the negative

4x = 32

Divide 4 from both sides

x= 8

Prove that root 7 is irrational by the method of contradiction

Alchen [17]

Let assume that $\sqrt7$ is a rational number. Therefore it can be expressed as a fraction $\dfrac{a}{b}$ where $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ .

$\sqrt7=\dfrac{a}{b}\\\\7=\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}\\\\a^2=7b^2$

This means that $a^2$ is divisible by 7, and therefore also $a$ is divisible by 7.

So, $a=7k$ where $k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$(7k)^2=7b^2\\\\49k^2=7b^2\\\\7k^2=b^2$

Analogically to $a^2=7b^2$ ------- $b^2$ is divisible by 7 and therefore so is $b$ .

But if both numbers $a$ and $b$ are divisible by 7, then $\text{gcd}(a,b)=7$ which contradicts our earlier assumption that $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ .

Therefore $\sqrt7$ is an irrational number.

If ADEF = AJKL, DE = 18, EF = 23, DF = 9x - 23, JL = 7x-11, and JK = 3y - 21, find the

Feliz [49]

Answer:

x = 6

y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

since DE and JK are congruent, they are both 18

to find 'y':

3y - 21 = 18

3y = 39

y = 13

DF and JL are diagonals that are congruent so:

9x - 23 = 7x - 11

2x = 12

x = 6
