Answer:

JL = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that K is on line segment JL, therefore:

KL + JK = JL (according to segment addition postulate)

KL = 2x - 2

JK = 5x + 2

JL = 4x + 9

Thus:

$(2x - 2) + (5x + 2) = (4x + 9)$

Solve for x

$2x - 2 + 5x + 2 = 4x + 9$

$2x +5x - 2 + 2 = 4x + 9$

$7x = 4x + 9$

Subtract 4x from both sides

$7x - 4x = 4x + 9 - 4x$

$3x = 9$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}$

$x = 3$

Find the numerical length of JL

$JL = 4x + 9$

Plug in the value of x

$JL = 4(3) + 9 = 12 + 9 = 21$

Answer:

b = 3.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a rectangle, A = 14. sq cm

The length of one side, l = 4 cm

We need to find the length of another side. The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

So,

$14=4b\\\\b=\dfrac{14}{4}\\\\b=3.5\ cm$

So, the length of the other side is equal to 3.5 cm.

Answer:

given :-

for rectangular part: length=12in, breadth=8in

for triangular part:base=8in, height=3in

area of the given fig:

area of the given fig:area of 2 triangles +area of rectangle 

 $→2( \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h) + l \times b \\ →2( \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 3) + 12 \times 8 \\ →24 + 96 \\ → {120in}^{2}$

if the local rate for electrical service is 6cents per kilowatt-hour how much money would be saved in a year by using a dishwash

dezoksy [38]

Given:

The local rate for electrical service is 6 cents per kilowatt-hour.

We need to know how much money would be saved in a year by using a dishwasher 4times per week rather than 6 times per week

From the table:

The cost of using a dishwasher 4 times per week = $29

The cost of using a dishwasher 6 times per week = $44

So, the saving will be = 44 - 29 = 15

So, the answer will be $15
