Answer:

5. x = -1

6. x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5. AB = 5

BC = 2x + 6

AC = x + 10

AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)

5 + 2x + 6 = x + 10 (substitution)

Collect like terms

5 + 6 + 2x = x + 10

11 + 2x = x + 10

2x - x = - 11 + 10

x = -1

6. AB = 9x + 7

BC = -3x + 20

AC = 39

AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)

(9x + 7) + (-3x + 20) = 39 (substitution)

Solve for x

9x + 7 - 3x + 20 = 39

Collect like terms

9x - 3x + 7 + 20 = 39

6x + 27 = 39

Subtract 27 from both sides

6x + 27 - 27 = 39 - 27

6x = 12

Divided both sides by 6

6x/6 = 12/6

x = 2

Si Martha retira de su cuenta el 10% para los transportes del mes. ¿Cuál es el nuevo saldo de la cuenta?
notsponge [240]

Respuesta:

0,9 veces

Explicación paso a paso:

Deje que la cantidad en la cuenta de Martha se denote como x, que es la cantidad en la cuenta = x

Porcentaje retirado para transporte = 10%

El porcentaje total siempre será del 100%

Por lo tanto, si se retira el 10%, entonces; el porcentaje restante es:

Porcentaje total: porcentaje gastado en transporte

(100% - 10%) * monto en cuenta

90% * x = 0,9 * x = 0,9x

Saldo de cuenta nueva = 0.9x

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. [infinity] n = 1 1 n√9 the series is a ---select--- p-series with p =
inna [77]

The series is a convergent p-series with p = 3

<h3>How to know it is a divergent or a convergent series</h3>

We would know that a series is a convergent p series when we have ∑ 1 np. Then you have to be able to tell if the series is a divergent p series or it is a convergent p series.

The way that you are able to tell this is if the terms of the series do not approach towards 0. Now when the value of p is greater than 1 then you would be able to tell that the series is a convergent series.

The value of \sqrt{9}= 3

The formular for this is

∑\frac{1}{n^p} \\

where n = 1

we know it is convergent because p is greater than 1. 3>1
