we have that


*-------------------------*--------------------------------*

E                            F                                     G


EF=2x-12

FG= 3x-15

EG=23


we know that


EF + FG = EG


so

[2x - 12] + [3x - 15] = 23 simplify

5x - 27 = 23 add 27 to both sides

5x = 50 divide both sides by 5

x = 10

EF=2x-12-------> EF=2*10-12-------> EF=8

FG= 3x-15------> FG=3*10-15------> FG=15



therefore


the answer part a) is

the value of x is 10


the answer part b) is

the value of EF is 8


the answer part c) is

the value of FG is 15

1. Points A and B are to be mapped onto a number line according to two equations. The solution to the equation 2/3 A= -24 is the
OleMash [197]
<span>The solution to the equation 2/3 A= -24 is the coordinate of point A.

2/3 A = -24
A = -24 / 2/3
A = -24 * 3/2
A = -72/2
A = -36

The solution to the equation 20=-b/0.5 is the coordinate of point B

20 = -b/0.5
20 * 0.5 = -b
10 = -b
10/-1 = -b/-1
-10 = b

A = -36 and B = -10

The distance between the two letters is 26 units. </span>

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanatiWe know x is between 1 and 3 so the best estimate is 2 even though the answer could also be 3 but that will be skewed.

Suppose point e has a coordinate of 11​, and eg= 8. what are the possible coordinates of point​ g?
viva [34]

So I will be assuming that EG = 8 is the length of the line segment EG. If that's the case, therefore the coordinates of G would simple be:

G =11 ± 8

G = 11 – 8, 11 + 8

G = 3, 19 

<span>So G can have a coordinate of 3 or 19.</span>

The sum of the digits of a two − digit number is 11. The unit's digit is 7 less than the ten's digit. Find the number.
padilas [110]

Answer:

Number = 92

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unit digit is x and that of tens digit is y.

ATQ,

x+y = 11 ....(1)

The unit's digit is 7 less than the ten's digit

x = y-7 ...(2)

Put the value of x from equation (2) in (1)

y-7+y = 11

2x-7 = 11

2x = 11+7

2x = 18

x = 9

Put the value of x in equation (1)

9+y = 11

y = 2

Hence, the number is 92.
