Every weekday, Mr. Jones bikes from his home to his job. Sometimes he rides along two roads, the long route that is shown by the

solid lines. Other times, he takes the shortcut shown by the dashed line.
A right triangle. The distance from the angle with measure 90 degrees to Job is 15 kilometers. From the angle to Home is a. They hypotenuse is 17 kilometers.

Answer:

(A)6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\17^2=a^2+15^2\\a^2=17^2-15^2\\a^2=289-225\\a^2=64\\a^2=8^2\\a=8$ km

Therefore:

Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km

Distance along the shortcut =17 km

Difference =23-17 =6km

Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.

What is the answer to 3/x-2 is ≥12
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0 < x ≤ 3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps to solve it.

First, you need to solve your inequality step-by-step:

3/x −2 ≥ 12

-2x + 3/x = ≥12

Next, find the critical points of the inequality:

2x + 3/x = 12

−2x + 3 = 12x (Multiply both sides by x)

−2x + 3 − 12x = 12x − 12x (Subtract 12x from both sides)

−14x + 3 = 0

−14x + 3 − 3 = 0 − 3 (Subtract 3 from both sides)

−14x = −3

-14x/ -14 = -3/ -14 (Divide both sides by -14)

So, that gives you your answer:

x = 3/14

A system of equations is given below:
My name is Ann [436]
Solving by substitution:

y = 4x - 3 

2x + 7y = 41

Let us substitute the first equation y = 4x - 3  into the second.

2x + 7y = 41

2x + 7(y = 4x -3) = 41

2x + 7(4x -3) = 41

So that's the third option.

I hope this helps.

If A = (4,-5) and B = (7.-9), what is the length of AB?​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can figure out the length of AB by using the distance formula.

D = \sqrt{(7-4)^{2} + (-9-(-5))^{2} }\\ D = \sqrt{(3)^{2} + (-4)^{2} }\\D = \sqrt{9 + 16}\\D = \sqrt{25}\\D=5

So the distance is 5

Plz help me thx if u do
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

So, C, and D.. can easily be marked incorrect. This is because in the question it asks, "Atleast 16" This leaves us with answer choice A and B. Answer choice (A), is a closed circle, while answer choice (B) is an open circle.

Closed circles include the number at the end point (less than/greater than/equal to), and open circles do not (less than greater than).

answer choice  A. Closed circle, shifting to the right.
