Answer:

w= -\frac{7}{2} z

Step-by-step explanation:

 5w + 9z = 2z +3w

       <u>- 9z = -9z</u>

5w = -7z + 3w

<u>-3w          - 3w</u>

2w = -7z

<u>/2      /2</u>

w = -\frac{7}{2} z

When solving for a variable, you get the variable you're trying to solve for on one side and everything to the opposite of that variable.

We have the equation <span>5w + 9z = 2z + 3w.

Usually the variable we're solving for we want on the left. But it's fine to have it on the right side, too.

Let's subtract 9z from the left-hand side. That way, the 5w will be alone on the left-hand side.

And remember, anything we do on one side we do to the other side.

</span><span>5w + 9z - 9z = 2z + 3w - 9z
</span><span>5w = -7z + 3w

The 3w term on the right-hand side needs to be removed. So, subtract each side by 3w.

5w - 3w = -7z + 3w - 3w
2w = -7z

Now, we need to divide each side by 2 to see what the w variable is equal to.

2w / 2 = -7z / 2
w = -7z / 2 or w = -3.5z

So, w is equal to -3.5z.

ΔXYZ ≅ΔFED where m∠X = 50°, m∠Y=30°, m∠D=2y+10, XY =9 and EF=3x−12. Solve for x and y.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The value of x is 7 and value of y is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔXYZ

∠X = 50°, ∠Y=30°

To Find ∠Z we will use angle sum property of triangle (Sum of all angles of triangles is 180°)

So,∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°

So,50°+30°+ ∠Z = 180°

∠Z=180°-80°

∠Z=100°

Now we are given that ΔXYZ ≅ΔFED

So, the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are equal.

So, ∠Z= ∠D

So, 100=2y+10

100-10=2y

90=2y

45=y

Now XY = EF

So, 9 = 3x-12

21=3x

7=x

Hence The value of x is 7 and value of y is 45

Factor each of the following. Remember: It is the reverse of the distributive property and your first step is to find the greate
vaieri [72.5K]
To factor using the reverse of the distributive property, find what common factor the numbers have and what common factor the variables have.

10.

-8x - 16

8 is a factor of both -8 and 16.
The first term has x, but the second term does not, so there is no common variable. The only common factor is 8, or -8.

Factor out a -8:

-8x - 16 = -8(x + 2)

To see if the factorization is correct, multiply the answer using the distributive property. If you get the original expression, then the factorization is correct.

11.

w^2 - 4w

The first term only has a factor of 1. The second term has a 4. There is no common factor between 1 and 4 except for 1, so there is no number you can factor out. The first term has w^2. The second term has w. Both terms have a common factor of w. We can factor out w from both terms.

w^2 - 4w = w(w - 4)

12.

4s + 10rs

4 and 10 have a common factor of 2.
s and rs have a common factor of s.
2 times s is 2s, so the common factor is 2s.
We now factor out 2s

4s + 10rs = 2s(2 + 5r)
