If B is the midpoint of ZA, then ZB = <span>BA
</span>3x-5 = <span>x+3
3x - x = 3 + 5
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x = 4
</span>ZA = ZB + BA
= 3x-5 + x+3
= 3*4 - 5 + 4 + 3
= 12 - 5 + 7
= 14
Answer: <span>D. 14</span>
Answer:
<em>9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Mental Calculation</em>
If we detect known patterns in the calculations, we could easily give their results without the use of calculators.
We are given the expression to evaluate:
9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39
The first thing to note is the 9 is a common factor of all terms, thus we take it out:
9*(364 - 125 - 39)
The negative numbers can be easily added
125
+ 39
------------
164
Now our expression is much easier:
9*(364 - 164)
The subtraction of 364-164 is 200, thus the result of the operations is:
9*200. We only need to recall 9*2=18 and add two zeros to get 1,800, thus:
9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800
D. Size and shape. Congruent essentially means that they’re the same in all ways.
