Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Statements    </u>                                   <u>  Reasons</u>

1) QS =42                                               Given

2) QR + RS = QS                              Segment Addition Postulate

3) (x + 3) + 2x = 42                            Substitution Property

4) 3x + 3 = 42                                      Simplify

5) 3x = 39                                          Subtraction Property of Equality

6) x=13                                               Division Property of Equality

Explanation:

We have given QS=42. We have to prove that x=13

We will use Segment Addition Postulate which states that given 2 points Q and S, a third point R lies on the line segment QS  if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation QR + RS = QS.

Then we will substitute the values in the defined postulate.

where QR= x+3

RS=2x

QS=42

QR+RS=QS

(x+3)+2x= 42

Now simplify the expression by opening the brackets.

x+3+2x=42

3x+3=42

Now subtract 3 from both sides.

3x+3-3=42-3

3x=39

divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 =39/3

x=13..

Maybe the answer is

<h3>60°</h3>

<h3>Explanation</h3>
  • The L between 2 and 3 shows that yeah... it has a neat degree (sorry dont know how to explain lol) and so the triangle which has 3 side and total 180° will be 180° : 3 = 60 because the degree is neat. :v

Look at the relation below.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

If we remove one ordered pair (1, -2) then the set of points would represent a function.

Hence, option C i.e. (1, -2) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a function is a relation where each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

In other words, we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Given the relation

{(-2,4), (4,-2), (1,1), (1,-2), (0,1), (6,4)}

If we closely check, we can observe that the input x = 1 is repeated twice.

In other words, there are two ordered pairs (1, 1) and (1, -2) with the same input x = 1. So, x = 1 is duplicated here.

We know that we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Therefore, if we remove one ordered pair (1, -2) then the set of points would represent a function.

Hence, option C i.e. (1, -2) is correct.

The area of the rectangle is 6 square feet. If its width is 2 1/7<br> ​feet, find its length.
densk [106]

Answer:

L = 2 4/5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A = L x W

6 = L x 2 1/7

divide both sides by 2 1/7

6 divided by 2 1/7 = L (is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal)

6 x 7/15 = L

L = 14/5 or 2 4/5
