to solve  for the dimensions (x+7)(x+2)=66,

we can first use the foiling method to simplify the left side.

x^2 + 2x + 7x + 14 = 66

x^2 + 9x + 14 = 66

now, subtract 66 from both sides.

x^2 + 9x - 52 = 0

now, split this into two parentheses.

(x + 13)(x - 4)

since the root of -13 would give you negative values, x=4. This means that the dimensions of the rectangle are 11 and 6.

Write the equation of the line, in point-slope form. Identify the point (-2, -2) as (x1, y1). Use the box provided or the upload
zimovet [89]

Answer:

  • m = (2-(-2))/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1
  • y +2 = 1(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (x1, y1) is ...

  y -y1 = m(x -x1)

To find the slope of the line, find the ratio of the difference in y-values of the points to the difference in corresponding x-values. Here, the slope is ...

  m = (2 -(-2))/(2 -(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 . . . work to compute slope

The problem statement tells you x1 = -2, y1 = -2. Putting the numbers in to the point-slope form gives ...

  y -(-2) = 1(x -(-2))

  y + 2 = x + 2 . . . equation form with m, (x1, y1) filled in

__

The answer at the top leaves the slope shown as 1. We don't know how much simplification you are expected to do. Obviously, this <em>could</em> be simplified to y=x, but then the use of (-2, -2) for the point would not be obvious.

The transitive property holds true for similar figures.<br><br> Always<br> Sometimes<br> Never
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Always.


Step-by-step explanation:

The transitive property holds true for similar figures always because similar figures have similar shapes, the same angles and dimensions are proportional.

For example:- If figure 1 is similar to figure 2 then both have same shape and same angles and dimensions are proportional .

If figure 2 is similar to figure 3 then both have same shape and same angles and dimensions are proportional .

⇒ figure 1 is similar to figure 3 the both have same shape and same angles and dimensions are proportional as the figure 2 .

Thus the transitive property holds true for similar figures always.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of member of staff that drank tee = total number of member of staff - number that drank coffee - number that drank both tea and coffee

100 - 48 - 25 = 27 members of staff
