Answer: The value of x is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABC is a triangle with mid -segment  DE parallel to the base BC.

the left side is labeled 40 cm below the mid -segment

i.e. BD = 40 cm

the left side is labeled 5 cm above the mid -segment

i.e. AD = 5 cm

Similarly,

The right side is labeled 2 x + 10 cm below the mid -segment

i.e. EC = 2x+10

The right side is labeled 3 cm above the mid -segment

i.e. AE = 3 cm

So, By Basic proportionality theorem,

The ratio of the other two sides is equal.

\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}\\\\\frac{5}{40}=\frac{3}{2x+10}\\\\\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{2x+10}\\\\2x+10=24\\\\2x=24-10\\\\2x=14\\\\x=\frac{14}{2}\\\\x=7 cm

Hence, the value of x is 7 cm.

Find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -5, 13, 31,
Lynna [10]

Answer:

b(n) = -23 + 18n

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE - This is an arithmetic sequence, so each number is increasing by addition. If you were in a geometric sequence, however, you'd be multiplying. This means that the explicit formula for the geometric sequence you'll be learning later on will be different.

The formula for explicit formula is b(n)=b(1)+d(n-1). The variable d represents the common difference and the a is whatever number of the term you are using.

Since you have b(1), you look at what your first term is. Plug -5 into a(1).

To find your common difference, find 13-(-5). This is 18, and adding it to the others you can see that it continues.

So, plugging in what you have so far it looks like b(n) = -5 + 18(n - 1)

All we need to do now is simplify.

1. Distribute: -5 + 18n - 18

2. Add like terms: -23 + 18n

Hope this helped and made sense lol.

Change 2x+y=-4 into slope-intercept form with steps
nikitadnepr [17]
Answer : y = -2x - 4

All you have to do is put y on one side and the 2x on the other side, just make sure to make it negative since you are subtracting it to go on the other side

Find a unit vector that has the same direction as the vector a and the opposite direction of the vector
nasty-shy [4]
The unit vector is given by the following formula:
 a '= (a) / (lal)
 Where,
 a: vector a
 lal: Vector module a
 We are looking for the module:
 lal = root ((- 15) ^ 2 + (8) ^ 2)
 lal = 17
 Same direction:
 a = -15i + 8j
 The unit vector is:
 a '= (1/17) * (- 15i + 8j)
 Opposite direction:
 a = 15i - 8j
 The unit vector is:
 a '= (1/17) * (15i - 8j)
 Answer:
 
a unit vector that has the same direction as the vector a is:
 
a '= (1/17) * (- 15i + 8j)
 
a unit vector that has the opposite direction of the vector a is:
 
a '= (1/17) * (15i - 8j)

sam decides to build a square garden. if the area of the garden is 4x2 28x 49 square feet, what is the length of one side of the
jekas [21]
To find the side lengths, you have to factor 4x^2 + 28x + 49. This equation factored is (2x+7)(2x+7), so each side length is (2x+7) feet.
