Answer:

D. 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle BAC is similar to triangle DEC, so you can set up a ratio:

$\frac{84}{156-x} = \frac{7}{x}$

Then cross multiply

84x = 7 (156 - x)

84x = 1092 - 7x

Add 7x to both sides.

91x = 1092

Divide both sides by 91.

x = 12

AC = 156 - x

AC = 156 - 12

AC = 144

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ CED and Δ CAB are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{CE}{CA}$ = $\frac{ED}{AB}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{156-x}$ = $\frac{7}{84}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ ( cross- multiply )

12x = 156 - x ( add x to both sides )

13x = 156 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 12

Thus

AC = 156 - x = 156 - 12 = 144 → D

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, 5) and (6, 7)?

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(x_1,y_1)\rightarrow(-6,5)$ and $(x_2,y_2)\rightarrow(6,7)$

<u>Determine slope</u>

<u /> $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\m=\frac{7-5}{6-(-6)}\\ \\m=\frac{2}{6+6}\\ \\m=\frac{2}{12}\\ \\m=\frac{1}{6}$

<u>Use either ordered pair to find the y-intercept</u>

<u /> $y=mx+b\\\\7=\frac{1}{6}(6)+b\\\\7=1+b\\\\6=b$

<u>Final equation</u>

<u /> $y=\frac{1}{6}x+6$

Which solution set describes the solutions to the inequality below?

Nuetrik [128]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The sixth option,

[-6,6]

To solve the problem, we need to find which of the given options match with the solution to the inequality. As we know, solving inequalities is almost the same that solving equalities, we need to isolate the variable and then, find where it satisfies the given condition (inequality)

So, solving the inequality we have:

$-3x^{2} +1\leq -107\\-3x^{2}\leq -107-1\\-3x^{2} \leq -108\\3x^{2} \leq 108\\x^{2} \leq \frac{108}{3}\\\sqrt{x^{2} } \leq \sqrt{36}\\ x^{2\leq } +-36\\(x-6)(x+6)\leq 0$
