Answer:

Given the equation: 9(x+1) = 25+x

Distributive property of multiplication over addition states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately i,e,

$a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c$

Then, by using distributive property on LHS in the given equation we have;

9x+9 =25 +x

Subtract 9 from both the sides;

9x+9-9=25+x-9

Simplify:

9x = 16+x

Subtract x from both the sides we get;

9x-x=16+x-x

Simplify:

8x=16

Divide both sides by 8 we have;

$\frac{8x}{8}= \frac{16}{8}$

On Simplify:

x =2

Therefore, the value of x for the equation 9(x+1) = 25+x is, 2

9(x+1) = 25 + x
9x + 9 = 25 + x
8x = 25 - 9
8x = 16
x = 2

Question 9 (5 points)

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, let's use those two points from the table in the picture below.

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{13})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-17}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-17}-\stackrel{y1}{13}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{(-4)}}} \implies \cfrac{-30}{6 +4} \implies \cfrac{ -30 }{ 10 }\implies -3$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{13}=\stackrel{m}{-3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \\\\\\ y-13=-3(x+4)\implies y-13=-3x-12\implies y=-3x+1$

Point (k, -3) lies on the line whose equation is x-2y=-2. What is the value of k?

natita [175]

Answer:

Substitute, <em><u>y = -3</u></em> and <em><u>x = k</u></em> on the equation.

=> k - 2×(-3) = -2

=> k = -2 + (-6)

=> k = - 8

List the 6 congruency statements given ABC = DEF

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

∠A ≅ ∠D, ∠B ≅ ∠E, ∠c ≅ ∠F, AB = DE, BC = EF, AC = DF

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that triangles ABC and DEF are congruent. Now we need to choose correct congruency statements from the given choices.

We know that corresponding angles of congruent triangles are equal so we can write:

∠A ≅ ∠D

∠B ≅ ∠E

∠c ≅ ∠F

We know that corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal so we can write:

AB = DE

BC = EF

AC = DF

comparing these with given choices we see that, First choice is correct.

I WILL MARK AS BRANLIEST Mike has a piece of land that is made up of 6 triangles.Each triangle has a base of 8 feet and a height

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

240 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know you have 6 triangles then you can just find the area of one and then multiply by 6. First find your formula: (b)(h)/ 2

Next plug in: (8)(10)/2 = 40

Now you know the area of one so multiply by 6: (40)(6) = 240 ft^2
