Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DY is parallel to FS, this means we have two parallel lines with a transversal (FJ).   This makes ∠JDY and ∠JFS corresponding angles, which makes them congruent.  ∠J ≅ ∠J by the reflexive property.  Since we now have two corresponding angles congruent in the two triangles, and we know that all triangles have a sum of 180°, this means the third corresponding angles must be congruent as well.  Since all three angles are congruent in both triangles, the triangles are similar.

This means that the sides are proportional; this tells us that the ratio of DJ to JY will be the same as the ratio of FJ to JS.

The ratio of DJ to JY is

50/42.

The ratio of FJ to JS is (x+50)/(42+63).  This gives us the proportion

50/42 = (x+50)/(42+63)

50/42 = (x+50)/105

Cross multiplying, we have

50(105) = 42(x+50)

5250 = 42(x+50)

Using the distributive property, we have

5250 = 42(x)+42(50)

5250 = 42x+2100

Subtracting 2100 from each side,

5250-2100 = 42x+2100-2100

3150 = 42x

Divide both sides by 42:

3150/42 = 42x/42

75 = x

The circle below is centered at (3 1) and has a radius of 2 what is its equation
Dominik [7]

Answer:

(x-3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is usually written in the form

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

The center is at the origin so (h,k) = (3,1) and  the radius is 2 so r=2

(x-3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 2^2

(x-3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 4

Convert the angle \theta=310^\circθ=310 ∘ theta, equals, 310, degree to radians.
lozanna [386]
The correct question is
<span>Convert the angle theta equals 310  degree to radians.

we Know that

2pi radians is equals to----------> 360</span>°
<span>then
X radians-------------------> 310</span>°
<span>X=310*2*pi/360</span>°---------> X=5.41 radians
<span>
the answer is
5.41 radians

Select the statements that are true for the graph of y=(x+2)2+4 .
guapka [62]
I think you probably meant <span>(x+2)^2+4 because the equation you have provided is not written in proper formatting and would actually be a straight line. However, if you meant for that second 2 to be an exponent, you now have a quadratic equation which would graph as  a parabola. Remember the basic formula is y=(x-h)^2 +k where (h,k) is your vertex. So you change the sign of the number in the parenthesis, but not the number outside the parenthesis when finding the vertex. If there is a negative number in front of your equation, then the parabola is flipped upside down so the vertex would be a maximum, but if it is positive, or has nothing in front of it, then the parabola sits up like a bowl so the vertex is a minimum.</span>

Does anyone know how to do thesubstitution method?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Hi!

<h3>How do we use the substitution method?</h3>

To solve using the substitution method, we first want to isolate any of the variables from one of two equations, and then you take the value of that and plug it into the other equation.

<h3>Given:</h3><h3>y=4x-10</h3>

y=-3x+4

<h3>Step One:</h3>

Normally, our step one would be to pick a variable and isolate it, but it looks like we already have the y-value in both equations isolated! So our step one is already done!

<h3>Step Two:</h3>

Plug the isolated variable into the other equation.

We will use the value of y in the first one, and plug it into the second.

The value of y is "4x - 10", so we will change "y" in the second equation to "4x - 10", like so:

4x-10=-3x+4

<h3>Step Three:</h3>

Algebra!

You should be familiar with how to solve equations.

So:

4x-10=-3x+4

Add 10 to both sides:

4x=-3x+14

Add 3x to both sides:

7x=14

Divide both sides by 7:

x=2

<h3>The last step!</h3>

Now, take the x value and plug it into one of the other equations and solve for y.

y=4(2)-10

y=8-10

y=-2

Therefore, our answer is (2, -2).

For a fantastic explanation of how to do the substitution method, see:
