Answer: x = 10

========================================================

Explanation:

Check out the attached image. I've basically redrawn your image and added point D. This point is the intersection of the angle bisector and segment BC. The red angle (DAC) and the green angle (DAB) are congruent.

The reason why I added point D is to help with the angle bisector theorem. This theorem states that if we have a triangle ABC, and angle A is bisected (as the diagram shows), then we can set up the following proportion
AB/BD = AC/CD

Note how AB and BD are on the left side of point D, and they form the ratio AB/BD. Similarly, AC and CD are to the right of point D so they form the ratio AC/CD. These two ratios are equal by the angle bisector theorem.

---------------------

Let's plug in the given info and then isolate x
AB/BD = AC/CD
8/(x+4) = 12/(2x+1)
8(2x+1) = 12(x+4) ... cross multiply
8(2x)+8(1) = 12(x)+12(4) ... distribute
16x+8 = 12x+48
16x+8-8 = 12x+48-8 ... subtract 8 from both sides
16x = 12x+40
16x-12x = 12x+40-12x ... subtract 12x from both sides
4x = 40
4x/4 = 40/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 10

---------------------

Check:
8/(x+4) = 12/(2x+1)
8/(10+4) = 12/(2*10+1) ... replace every x with 10
8/(10+4) = 12/(20+1)
8/14 = 12/21
4/7 = 4/7

Answer:

A) The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter is 54 feet

B) The total cost of fence is $432

C) The square feet of grass needed foe the total area is 180 square feet

D) The total cost of the project is $572

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The dimension of rectangular field

Length of rectangular field = L = 12 feet

width of rectangular field = w = 15 feet

The cost of grass per square foot = 50 cents = $0.5 ( ∵ 1 cents = $0.01 )

The cost of small fence = $8 per linear foot

Now, According to question

A ) Let The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter = A feet

∵ Perimeter of rectangular field = 2 × Length + 2 × width

Or, A = 2 × L + 2 × w

Or, A = 2 × 12 feet + 2 × 15 feet

Or, A = 24 feet + 30 feet

∴ A = 54 feet

So, The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter = A = 54 feet

B ) Let The total cost of fence = $B

So, The total cost of fence = The cost of small fence × perimeter of fence

i.e B = $8 × 54 feet

∴ B = $432

So,The total cost of fence = B = $432

C) Let the square feet of grass needed foe the total area = C square feet

∵The Area of rectangular fence = Length × width

Or, The square feet of grass needed foe the total area = Area of rectangular fence = L × w

i.e C = 12 feet × 15 feet

Or, C = 180 feet²

So,The square feet of grass needed foe the total area = C = 180 square feet

D) Let The total cost of grass = $D

∵ The cost of grass per square foot = $0.5

So,Total cost of grass = $0.5 × Area of fence

i.e D = $0.5 × 180 feet²

Or, D = $90

So, The Total cost of grass = D = $90

E) Let the total cost of the project = $E

∵Mr. Jones spend additional $50 for tools

So, The total cost of the project = money spent on tools + total cost of fence + Total cost of grass

i.e E = $50 + B + D

Or, E = $50 + $432 + $90

∴ E = $572

So, The total cost of the project = E = $572

Hence,

A) The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter is 54 feet

B) The total cost of fence is $432

C) The square feet of grass needed foe the total area is 180 square feet

D) The total cost of the project is $572 Answer

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 6x+4y=-56

alex41 [277]

Answer:

First, put the equation of the line given into slope-intercept form by solving for y. You get y = -2x +5, so the slope is –2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6.Step-by-step explanation:

How do i solve this rational expression r-4/5r=1/5r+1

NNADVOKAT [17]

r - 4/5r = 1/5r + 1

Subtract 1/5r from each side: r - 4/5r - 1/5r = 1

Combine all the 'r' terms on the left side:

 r - 5/5r = 1

 r - r = 1

 0 = 1

There is no value of 'r' that can make ' 0 = 1 ' a true statement.
So the equation has no solution.
