What is x? Help please

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: x=\frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Intersecting secants theorem, we know that:

EC*ED=EB*EA

Then, substituting, we get:

(x+4)(x+4+1)=(x+1)(x+1+11)\\\\(x+4)(x+5)=(x+1)(x+12)

Now we need to expand the expression:

x^2+5x+4x+20=x^2+12x+x+12

Simplifying, we get that the value  of "x" is:

x^2+9x+20=x^2+12x+12\\\\9x+20=12x+12\\\\20-12=12x-9x\\\\8=3x\\\\x=\frac{8}{3}

Answer:

A linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Equation of line : y = mx+c

We are given that At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second.

c = 1534

We are given that for each increase in depth by 1 km, the speed increases by 17 m/s

So, Slope = m = 17

Substitute the values in equation

y=17x+1534

x denotes depth

y denotes speed

We are given that Use D for depth and S for the speed of sound

So, S=17D+1534

Hence a linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Jon ate too many holiday cookies and gained 2.2 kilograms in December. Then he went on a diet and lost 1.5 kilograms in January.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight that Jon gained in December = 2.2 kilograms

Weight that Jon lost in January = 1.5 kilograms

Weight that Jon lost in February = 3.7 kilograms

Overall Change in his weight = Total Weight he gained - Total weight he Lost

Total weight he gained is 2.2 kilograms as he only gained weight in December. Total weight he lost will be sum of weights he lost in January and February.

So, total weight Jon lost = 1.5 + 3.7 = 5.2 kilograms

Thus,

Total change in Jon's Weight = 2.2 - 5.2 = -3.0 kilograms

This shows that Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.

Conclusion:

The statement that best describe the total change in his weight is: Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months
