Refer to the given figure.

    Statements                                                Reasons

1. B is the midpoint of AC                                 Given

2. AB \cong BC                                  Definition of midpoint

3.  BC \cong DE                                 Given

4.  AB \cong DE                               <u>  Transitive property of congruence</u>

The reason for statement 4 is " transitive property of congruence" which states that " If two segments (or angles) are each congruent to a third segment (or angle), then they're congruent to each other".

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

First blank= -1

Second blank= 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in x to the equation. 1/7 x (-7)= -7/7=-1

2=1/7(x) to divide fractions you multiply by the reciprocal

2 x 7/1= 1/7× 7/1

14/1=14

14.What is the solution of the system?
Archy [21]

Answer:

14.  x=-2.5,  y = -7

15.  x=28  y = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

14.  Let's solve this system by elimination.  Multiply the first equation by -1.

-1*(4x-y)= -1*(- 3)

-4x +y = 3

Then add this to the second equation.

-4x+y = 3

6x-y= - 8

--------------

2x   = -5


Divide each side by 2

x = -2.5

We still need to find y

-4x+y =3

-4(-2.5) + y =3

10 +y =3

Subtract 10 from each side.

y = 3-10

y = -7


15.I will again use elimination to solve this system, because using substitution will give me fractions which are harder to work with.   I will elimiate the y variable.  Multiply the first equation by 11

11( 5x+6y)= 11*20

55x+66y = 220

Multiply the second equation by -6

-6(9x+11y)=32*(-6)

-54x-66y = -192


Add the modified equations together.

55x+66y = 220

-54x-66y = -192

---------------------------

x = 28

We still need to solve for y

5x+6y = 20

5*28 + 6y =20

140 + 6y = 20

Subtract 140 from each side

6y = -120

Divide by 6

y = -20

A circle with circumference 20 has an arc with 72 degree central angle what is length of the arc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

<h2>4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Look at the picture.</em>

<em />

<em>At the beginning we have to calculate what part of the angle 360° is the given angle 75°.</em>

<em />\dfrac{75}{360}=75:360=0.2<em />

<em>The same part of the circumference of the circle is the arc defined by this central angle.</em>

The circumference <em>C = 20</em>.

Therefore

x=0.2\cdot20=4

X+ y + z = -3<br> 3y - Z = 4<br> 2x- y - 2z = -5
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

  • (-3, 1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • x + y + z = -3  --> (1)
  • 3y - z = 4   --> (2)
  • 2x - y - 2z = -5 --> (3)

<u>Add up (1) and (2)</u>

  • x + 3y + y + z - z = -3 + 4 ⇒ x + 4y = 1  --> (4)

<u>Double (2) and subtract from (3)</u>

  • 2x - y - 2z - 2(3y - z) = -5 - 2(4) ⇒ 2x - y - 2z - 6y + 2z = -5 - 8
  • 2x - 7y = -13 --> (5)

<u>Double (4) and subtract (5)</u>

  • 2(x + 4y) - 2x + 7y = 2 + 13 ⇒ 2x + 8y - 2x + 7y = 15 ⇒ 15y = 15 ⇒ y = 1

<u>Finding x</u>

  • x + 4(1) = 1 ⇒ x = 1 - 4  ⇒ x = -3

<u>Finding z</u>

  • -3 + 1 + z = -3 ⇒ z = -1

<u>So the answer is: </u>

  • (-3, 1, -1)
