<h3>
Answer: 2 < x < 7</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
We'll use the hinge theorem here. This says (more or less) that the larger an angle is, the side opposite of that will be longer.
Imagine that the segments with the single tickmarks represent a door swinging open/shut. The more open a door is, the further the distance it is from the handle to the frame. In terms of these triangles, the segment 25 is larger than 5x-10 because the angle 90 (opposite the 25) is larger than the angle 85 degrees (opposite the 5x-10)
In symbols we say
5x - 10 < 25
We also say 5x - 10 > 0 or 0 < 5x - 10 to ensure that the segment of length 5x-10 is not 0 or negative.
Put the two inequalities together and we get 0 < 5x - 10 < 25
------------
Solve for x
0 < 5x - 10 < 25
0+10 < 5x - 10 < 25 + 10 .... adding 10 to all sides
10 < 5x < 35
10/5 < 5x/5 < 35/5 ... dividing all sides by 5
2 < x < 7
We have x between 2 and 7, and not equal to either endpoint.
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider triangles PTS and QTR. In these triangles,
- given;
- given;
- as vertical angles when lines PR and SQ intersect.
Thus, 
by AAS postulate.
Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, so
Consider segments PR and QS:
![PR=PT+TR\ [\text{Segment addition postulate}]\\ \\QS=QT+TS\ [\text{Segment addition postulate}]\\ \\PT=QT\ [\text{Proven}]\\ \\ST=RT\ [\text{Given}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PR%3DPT%2BTR%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BSegment%20addition%20postulate%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5CQS%3DQT%2BTS%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BSegment%20addition%20postulate%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5CPT%3DQT%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BProven%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5CST%3DRT%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BGiven%7D%5D)

Answer:
16.1 km
Step-by-step explanation: 10mi x 1.61=16.1km
Quotient is basically the answer you get when you divide two numbers.
For example, the quotient of 6 and 3 is 2 because when I divide 6 by 3, I get 2.
Quotient of x and 3 =
Eight less than quotient of x and 3 is
.
Hence, the answer is C.
Answer:
y=4x-8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use point- slope form, since you are given one point and one slope.
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
Plug coordinates and slope in.
y-(-1/2)=4(x-2)
Solve
y+1/2=4x-8
y=4x-8.5
