Answer:

This equation is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Well,

-11b + 7 = 4 - 11b + 7 = 40

combine like terms

-11b + 7 = -11b + 3 = 40

Communicative property

-3 to both sides

-11b + 4 = -11b = 40

-4 to both sides

-11b = -11b = 36

+11b to both sides

0 = 36

0 is not equal to 36 meaning that this equation is false.

Thus,

the equation given is false.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

1. x = 21

2. m∡ABC = 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

First problem, solve for x

the sum of inside angles of a triangle is 180

also the supplementary angle for L = 180 - 100 is 80°

now you can add all angles

80 + 2x - 11 + 2x + 27 = 180

4x + 96 = 180

4x = 84

x = 21

Second problem, solve for m∡ABC

the sum of inside angles of a triangle is 180

also the supplementary angle for C = 180 - 148 is 32°

now you can add all angles

31 + 2x - 15 + x - 5 = 180

3x + 12 = 180

3x = 168

x= 56,

now solve for m∡ABC = (x - 5)° = (56 - 5)° = 51°

Consider the following problem: A farmer with 750 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into four

gregori [183]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

For any rectangle, the one with the largest area will be the one whose dimensions are as close to a square as possible.

However, the dividers change the process to find this maximum somewhat.

Letting x represent two sides of the rectangle and the 3 parallel dividers, we have 2x+3x = 5x.

Letting y represent the other two sides of the rectangle, we have 2y.

We know that 2y + 5x = 750.

Solving for y, we first subtract 5x from each side:

2y + 5x - 5x = 750 - 5x

2y = -5x + 750

Next we divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = -5x/2 + 750/2

y = -2.5x + 375

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by

A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width. In this rectangle, one dimension is x and the other is y, making the area

A = xy

Substituting the expression for y we just found above, we have

A = x(-2.5x+375)

A = -2.5x² + 375x

This is a quadratic equation, with values a = -2.5, b = 375 and c = 0.

To find the maximum, we will find the vertex. First we find the axis of symmetry, using the equation

x = -b/2a

x = -375/2(-2.5) = -375/-5 = 75

Substituting this back in place of every x in our area equation, we have

A = -2.5x² + 375x

A = -2.5(75)² + 375(75) = -2.5(5625) + 28125 = -14062.5 + 28125 = 14062.5

W is the midpoint of VX and Z is the midpoint of VY . If XY=p and WZ=p–30, what is WZ?

juin [17]

$\large{ \tt{❃ \: EXPLANATION}} :$

You'll have to know : Mid-point theorem states that A straight line segment joining the mid-points of any two triangle is parallel to the third side and it is equal to half of the length of the third side.

We're provided : XY = p , WZ = p - 30 & we're asked to find out the value of WZ. For that , firstly we have to find out the value of p.

$\large{ \tt{❁ \: LET'S \: START }: }$

Set up an equation & solve for p :

$\large{ \bf{☄ \: p - 30 = \frac{1}{2} p }}$

$\large{ \tt{↦ \frac{1}{2} p = p - 30}}$

$\large{ \tt{↦ \frac{1}{2} p - p = - 30}}$

$\large{ \tt{↦ \frac{p - 2p}{2} = - 30 }}$

$\large{ \tt{↦p - 2p = - 60}}$

$\large{ \tt{ ↦ \: - p = - 60}}$

$\large{ \tt{↦p = 60}}$

The value of p is 60

$\large{ \tt{❇ \: REPLACING \: VALUE}} :$

$\large{ \tt{↬ \: wz = p - 30 = 60 - 30 = \boxed{\boxed{ \tt{30 }} }✔}}$

Hence , WZ = 30 .

Point A is at (-7,5) and point is at (5,-1).

olga55 [171]

Answer:

B = (3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at (-7,5) and point C is at (5,-1). Find the coordinates of point B on AC such that AB is 5 times longer than BC. Then, B split AC in a 5:1 ratio.

rise = yC - yA = -1 - 5 = -6

run = xC - xA = 5 - (-7) = 12

c = 5/(5+1) = 5/6

B = (xA + c*run, yA + c*rise)

B = (-7 + 5/6*12, 5 + 5/6*-6)

B = (3, 5)
