Answer: $x>5$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following inequality given in the problem:

$-2(x+3)+5x>9$

2. You must solve for x.

3. First, apply the Distributive property:

$-2x-6+5x>9$

4. Now, add the like terms, as following:

$-2x+5x>9+6\\3x>15$

5. The result is:

$x>\frac{15}{3}\\x>5$

If RH = 10 units, HT = 16 units, and GH = 8 units, what is the length of line segment HJ?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

$HJ=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

RT and GJ are chords that intersect at point H. If RH = 10 units, HT = 16 units, and GH = 8 units, what is the length of line segment HJ? 18 units 20 units 26 units 28 units

we know that

The <u><em>intersecting chords theorem</em></u> is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal

In this problem

$(RH)(HT)=(GH)(HJ)$

substitute the given values

$(10)(16)=(8)(HJ)$

solve for HJ

$HJ=160/8\\HJ=20\ units$

Point M is the midpoint of AB. The coordinates of point A are (−7, 1) and the coordinates of M are (−2, 2). What are the coordin

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{ ( 3 , 3 ) }}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Co-ordinates of point A = ( -7 , 1 )

Co-ordinates of point M = ( -2 , 2 )

Let the co-ordinates of point B be ( x , y )

A ( -7 , 1 ) $\longrightarrow$ ( x1 , y1 )

B ( x , y ) $\longrightarrow$ ( x2 , y2 )

Now,

Midpoint = $(\frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

⇒ $( -2 , 2 ) = ( \frac{-7 + x}{2} , \frac{1 + y}{2} )$

Finding the value of x :

⇒ $-2 = \frac{-7 + x}{2}$

Do cross multiplication

⇒ $-4 = -7 + x$

⇒ $-7 + x = -4$

⇒ $x = -4 + 7$

⇒ $x = 3$

Now, finding the value of y

⇒ $2 = \frac{1+y}{2}$

Do cross multiplication

⇒ $4 = 1+y$

⇒ $1+y = 4$

⇒ $y = 4 - 1$

⇒ $y = 3$

Hence, The co-ordinates of point B = ( 3 , 3 )

Hope I helped!

Simultaneous equations 5x+y=28 x+y=2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x + y = 28$

$x + y = 8$

Solve the equation for y by moving 'x' to R.H.S and changing its sign

$5x + y = 28$

$y = 2 - x$

Substitute the given value of y into the equation 5x + y = 28

$5x + 2 - x = 28$

Solve the equation for x

Collect like terms

$4x + 2 = 28$

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

$4x = 28 - 2$

Subtract the numbers

$4x = 26$

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{26}{4}$

Calculate

$x = \frac{26}{4}$

Reduce the numbers with 2

$x = \frac{13}{2}$

Now, substitute the given value of x into the equation y = 2 - x

$y = 2 - \frac{13}{2}$

Solve the equation for y

$y = - \frac{9}{2}$

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x , y )

-------------------------------------------------------------

Let's check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equation:

plug the value of x and y in both equation

$5 \times \frac{13}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = 28$

$\frac{13}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = 2$

Simplify the equalities

$28 = 28$

$2 = 2$

Since , all of the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system.

$(x \:, y \: ) = ( \frac{13}{2} \: , - \frac{9}{2})$

Hope this helps....

Best regards!!
