Because M is the midpoint of segment JK, JM=MK.

Now, substitute, and you will get 5x-10=x+14.
You can easily solve from here.


5x-10=x+14
5x-x-10=x-x+14
4x-10=14
4x-10+10=14+10
4x=24
4x/4=24/4
x=6

Since we now know x=6 and the two segments are congruent, both JM and MK are 6.

JM+MK= 6+6=12, therefore JK=12.

two lines intersect.One has gradient 4 and y-axis intercept 3. The other has gradient 6 and cuts the y-axis at (0,1). What is th
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(1, 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Then the equations of the 2 lines are

y = 4x + 3 → (1)

y = 6x + 1 → (2)

Substitute y = 6x + 1 into (1)

6x + 1 = 4x + 3 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x + 1 = 3 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y

Substituting into (1)

y = 4(1) + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

Point of intersection = (1, 7 )

Suzy has a collection of quarters and dimes. Together she has 34 coins worth $6.40. How many quarters and how many dimes does Su
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Quarters = 20

Dimes = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Dime = x = 10 cent = $0.1

Quarter = y = 25 cent = $0.25

x + y = 34 - - - (1)

0.1x + 0.25y = 6.40 - - - - (2)

From (1)

x = 34 - y

0.1(34 - y) + 0.25y = 6.40

3.4 - 0.1y + 0.25y = 6.40

3.4 + 0.15y = 6.40

0.15y = 6.40 - 3.40

0.15y = 3

y = 3 / 0.15

y = 20

x = 34 - y

x = 34 - 20

x = 14

Quarters = 20

Dimes = 14
