Answer:

The number of the Democrats are 14 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of Republicans are x.

As given

A committee in Congress is made up of 19 members, and there are 9 more Democrats than Republicans on it.

Thus

Number of Democrats = 9 + x

Than the equation becomes

9 + x + x = 19

9 + 2x = 19

2x = 19 - 9

2x = 10

x = \frac{10}{2}

x = 5

The number of Republicans are 5.

Thus

Number of Democrats = 9 + 5

                                       = 14

Therefore the number of the Democrats are 14 .

Write an equation for the translation of x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 25 by 6 units left and 3 units down.
Aliun [14]
The equation would be: (x + 6)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25

This equation will produce a circle. If you add the numbers inside the parenthesis to be squared, you can center of the circle. Thus, translating the shape.

Need help with this slide about proofs explanation would be nice aswell.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

1. AB ~= DF

2. Definition of Congruent

3. Reflexive Property of Congruency

4 BD=BD

6. AB+BD=AD; DF+BD=BF

7. Substitution Property of Equality

8. Definition of Congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given always goes first, and that's the first reason, so AB ~= DF must be the first statement (that should be the congruency symbol).

2. The definition of congruent is that if they are congruent then they are equal. Since that statement made two congruent lines equal, it must be the definition.

3. The reflexive property means something is congruent to itself, and BDis BD, therefore it is the reflexive property.

4. Remember if something is congruent then it is equal.

6. The segment addition postulate states that if we are given two points on a line segment, then AB+AC=AC.

7. In this statement AD was substituted for DF+BD. This can be done because of AB=DF and BD=BD as aforementioned.

8. If two things are congruent then they are equal by definition of congruency.
