Suppose there are 12 equal parts of the house to be cleaned. Max can do 1 per hour, and Maggie can do 3 per hour.

The number of units they can do together in x hours is x+3x. Since there are 12 units to do, x+3x=12. For x=3 this is true, so the sister was right!

The sister is correct, because if you divide 12 by 4 your answer is 3 hours.

Which triangle defined by three points on the coordinate plane is congruent with the triangle illustrated, and why?
HACTEHA [7]
The triangle defined by three points on the coordinate plane is congruent with the triangle illustrated:

C) (4,2); (8,2); (4,8) because the corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent. 

If we plot these points we can observe that they are congruent, we should also solve for the distance of each point between each other to conclude their congruency.

I need help please.

Answer:

0.167, 0.164, 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

In decimals, the closer it is to 1 the larger it gets. 0.167 is smaller than 0.164 because 0.164 is closer to one, which makes it greater.

Which value makes the equation<br>3x - 6 = 36 true?<br>a) 10<br>b)12<br>c)14<br>d)16​
ioda

Answer:

C) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 6 to both sides:

3x - 6 (+6) = 36 (+6)

3x = 36 + 6

3x = 42

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(3x)/3 = (42)/3

x = 42/3

x = 14

c) 14 is your answer.
