Answer:

  A. X=3/2, AB =3

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ADC ~ ∆AEB so we have AB/AC = AE/AD:

  2x/(2x+4) = (14-8)/14

  14(2x) = 6(2x+4) . . . . . . . cross multiply

  28x = 12x +24 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  16x = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 12x

  x = 24/16 = 3/2 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x; reduce the fraction

Then the length of AB is ...

  AB = 2x = 2(3/2) = 3

The solution is x = 3/2, AB = 3.

The larger of two consecutive ODD numbers is one less than twice the smaller number. Find the larger of the two numbers.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

<h3>             5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  any integer

2z+1 - any odd integer (the smaller one)

2z+1+2 = 2z+3 - odd integer consecutive to 2z+1  (the larger one)

2(2z+1)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z+1) - 1    - one less than twice the smaller number

2(2z+1) - 1 = 2z + 3

4z + 2 - 1 = 2z + 3

2z = 2

 z = 1

2z+3 = 2•1+3 = 5

check:

2z+1 = 2•1+1 = 3,  

2(2z+1)-1 = 2(2•1+1)-1 = 2•3-1 = 5 = 2z+3

Find the radius of the sphere with a volume of 32/81π cubic yards. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

2/3 yards or 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3, meaning that you can set up the following equation:

\dfrac{32\pi}{81}=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Divide both sides by \frac{4}{3}\pi:

\dfrac{8}{27}=r^3

Take the cube root of both sides:

r=\dfrac{2}{3} yards. Hope this helps!

makkiz [27]
X = B.......x - 17 = A

x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes

x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes

Factor out the GCF from the given polynomial. 10^3 + 16^2 - 18x 10^3 + 16^2 - 18x = (Type your answer in factored form.)​
Vesna [10]

Correct question is;

Factor out the GCF from the given polynomial. 10x³ + 16x² - 18x. (Type your answer in factored form.)​

Answer:

GCF = 5x² + 8x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is;

10x³ + 16x² - 18x

First thing is to inspect the coefficients and see the greatest number that all three can be divided by evenly without remainder.

The greatest number is 2.

Secondly let's inspect the variables to see what we can factor out.

They all contain x. Thus, x is a factor.

Thus, we will divide each term by 2x to obtain the GCF of the polynomial.

GCF = (10x³/2x) + (16x²/2x) - (18x/2x)

GCF = 5x² + 8x - 9

you were planning to use a ceramic tile design in your new bathroom. The towels are blue and white equilateral triangle of you d
Sonja [21]
I found the image that should have accompanied this problem.

Given:
equilateral triangle with sides that measures 7cm.
hexagonal shape meaning 6 sides or 6 equilateral triangles used.

Area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 * a²
A = √3 /4 * (7cm)²
A = 1.73/4 * 49cm²
A = 21.20 cm²

21.20 cm² * 6 tiles = 127.20 cm²  ARea of the hexagon.
