Answer:

  • x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • HJ=2x+5
  • JK=3x-7
  • KH=18

<u>We see J is between H and K, so </u>

  • KH = HJ + JK
  • 2x + 5 + 3x - 7 = 18
  • 5x - 2 = 18
  • 5x = 20
  • x = 4

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (1, -7) and (-4, 8)?
melomori [17]
<h2>Answer:    y + 7  =  -3 (x - 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)  

                                       

                                          =  (- 7 - 8) ÷ ( 1 - (- 4))

                                         =    - 15  ÷  5

                                         =  - 3

We can now use the point-slope form to write the equation for this line:

        y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where (x₁ , y₁) = (1, -7)

             y - (-7) =  -3 ( x  -  1)

              y + 7  =  -3 (x - 1)

when a number is added to 1/5 of itself, the result is 24. the equation that models this problem is n 1/5 n = 24. what is the va
GuDViN [60]

Let n be unknown number, then 1/5 of this number is 1/5n. When you add these two numbers, you get

n+\dfrac{1}{5} n.

You know that this sum is equal to 24, so

n+\dfrac{1}{5} n=24.

1. Multiply this equation by 5:

5n+n=120.

2. Solve it:

6n=120,\\n=120:6,\\n=20.

Answer: n=20, correct choice is B.
