Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

20-[(x-19)+(x+17)]

=20-2x+2

=22-2x

As AB+BC=AC, 22-2x=0.

Thus 2x=22

x=11

it should be right

PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

None of these.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume we are trying to figure out if (x-6) is a factor. We got the quotient (x^2+6) and the remainder 13 according to the problem.  So we know (x-6) is not a factor because the remainder wasn't zero.

Let's assume we are trying to figure out if (x^2+6) is a factor.  The quotient is (x-6) and the remainder is 13 according to the problem.  So we know (x^2+6) is not a factor because the remainder wasn't zero.

In order for 13 to be a factor of P, all the terms of P must be divisible by 13.  That just means you can reduce it to a form that is not a fraction.

If we look at the first term x^3 and we divide it by 13 we get \frac{x^3}{13} we cannot reduce it so it is not a fraction so 13 is not a factor of P

None of these is the right option.

Kimi and Jordan are each working during the summer to earn money in addition to
cluponka [151]

Their earnings would be the same after 4 hours

Let the number of hours be x, and the weekly earning be y

So, the given parameters are:

<u>Kimi</u>

  • Earnings = $9 per hour
  • Weekly allowance = $8

So, the equation for Kimi's weekly earning is:

y =9x + 8

<u />

<u>Jordan</u>

  • Earnings = $7 per hour
  • Weekly allowance = $16

So, the equation for Jordan's weekly earning is:

y = 7x + 16

Equate both equations

7x + 16 = 9x + 8

Collect like terms

9x - 7x = 16 - 8

2x =8

Divide both sides by 2

x =4

Hence, their earnings would be the same after 4 hours
