Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute first
2(-4x+3)
-8x+6
-8x+6+3x+3=-16
combine like terms
then get the variable alone
-5x+9=-16
-9. -9
<u>-5x</u><u>=</u><u>-25</u>
-5. -5
x=5
Answer:
the cyclists rode at 35 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the cyclists stopped, and accelerated instantaneously at the same speed than before but in opposite direction , then
distance= speed*time
since the cyclists and the train reaches the end of the tunnel at the same time and denoting L as the length of the tunnel :
time = distance covered by cyclists / speed of cyclists = distance covered by train / speed of the train
thus denoting v as the speed of the cyclists :
7/8*L / v = L / 40 mph
v = 7/8 * 40 mph = 35 mph
v= 35 mph
thus the cyclists rode at 35 mph
Answer:
b. not similar
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sides* have the ratio 30:39 = 10:13 in one triangle and the ratio 20:27 = 10:13.5 in the other triangle. Since these ratios are different, the triangles cannot be similar.
____
* These are the sides bracketing the vertical angles at T. If the triangles were similar, the three sides would have to have the ratios 10 : 13 : 13.5.
However, the geometry shown would require that the angle opposite side 13.5 in one triangle have the same measure as the angle opposite side 13 in the other triangle. That is not possible, so it is not possible for these triangles to be similar.
