8/x = 12/18
x = 8*18 / 12
x = 144 / 12
x = 12

answer
x = 12 cm

A quadrilateral WXYZ contains wxy where measure of wxy=92 degrees. Once rotated 270° about the origin and translated 2 units up,

Marianna [84]

Answer:

C. 92 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the $\angle{wxy}=$ 92° which is one of the angles of the quadrilateral WXYZ

The quadrilateral is first rotated by 270° about the origin and then translated 2 units up, the new position of the quadrilateral is W'X'Y'Z'.

The shape of the quadrilateral is remained unchanged due to rotation and translation, so all the angles of the final quadrilateral W'X'Y'Z' is the same as the angles of the given quadrilateral WXYZ.

So, $\angle{w'x'y'}= \angle{wxy}$

By using the given value,

$\angle{w'x'y'}=$ 92°

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Need help with number 3 inequalities with variables on both sides

Volgvan

Answer:

x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inequality:

$\displaystyle{2x-3 \leq \dfrac{x}{2}}$

First, get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by 2:

$\displaystyle{2x\cdot 2-3\cdot 2 \leq \dfrac{x}{2}\cdot 2}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-6 \leq x}$

Add both sides by 6 then subtract both sides by x:

$\displaystyle{4x-6+6 \leq x+6}\\\\\displaystyle{4x \leq x+6}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-x \leq x+6-x}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-x \leq 6}\\\\\displaystyle{3x \leq 6}$
