If point A is the midpoint then that means line segments XA and AY are equivalent so you can set:
3x=5x-6
(now you solve for x)
2x=6
(divide by 2 on both sides)
x=3

So BASICALLY,
XA= 3x= 3(3) = 9
AY= 5x-6= 5(3)-6 =9
So now you know the length of both sides, add those together and you get
XY=18

Answer: A compound inequality contains at least two inequalities that are separated by either "and" or "or". The graph of a compound inequality with an "and" represents the intersection of the graph of the inequalities. A number is a solution to the compound inequality if the number is a solution to both inequalities.

Answer:

Angle A is 118°

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a circle add up to 180, so this means that all the measurements of the three angles add to 180:

x + 2x + 13 + x - 8 = 180

Clean it up:

3x + x + x + 13 -8

5x -5 = 180

To isolate the 5x, you need to move the +5 over to the other side, making it a negative 5:

5x = 180 - 5

5x = 175

Now divide each side by 5 to get the value of 1x:

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{175}{5}$

x = 35

So angle A is:

3x + 13

3(35) + 13 = 118

<h3>So angle A is 118°</h3>

5.5 quarts equals 22 cups. (There are 4cups in a quart, so 4 * 5.5 = 22)

22-4= 18 cups

Use an algebraic approach to solve the problem.

qaws [65]

Answer:

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean: sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent her first exam score.

Her second exam score can be represented by x + 11, since it was 11 points better than her first.

Her third exam score can be represented by (x + 11) + 5, since it was 5 points better than her second.

Plug in all of these expressions into the mean formula. Plug in 87 as the mean, and plug in 3 as the number of elements (since there are 3 scores):

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

87 = ( (x) + (x + 11) + (x + 11) + 5 ) / 3

Add like terms and solve for x:

87 = (3x + 27) / 3

261 = 3x + 27

234 = 3x

78 = x

So, her first score was a 78.

Find her second score by adding 11 to this:

78 + 11 = 89

Find her third score by adding 5 to the second score:

89 + 5 = 94

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.
