Answer:
CD = x = 4 units

Explanation:
We are given that the two triangles are similar. This means that we can set the similarity proportionality as follows:
$\frac{BC}{CD} = \frac{CA}{CE} = \frac{AB}{ED}$

W e have:
BC = 20 - x
AC = 20
CD = x
CE = 5

Substitute in the above proportionality and solve for x as follows:
$\frac{20-x}{x} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$

4x = 20 - x
5x = 20
x = 4

Based on he above:
CD = 4 units
BC = 20 - x = 20 - 4 = 16 units

Hope this helps :)

Trains Two trains, Train A and Train B, weigh a total of 192 tons. Train A is heavier than Train B. The

OleMash [197]

Hi there!

So we know that the two train together is a total of 192 tons and the difference of their weights is 120 tons...

Ok let think...

When we’re looking at the once place, you’ll see a two... this means that the two train both have a ending of 1 since 2 is split into 1...

That would be another clue..

Now let think again...

If it would be 151 and we subtract by 120.. we would get...

$151-120=31$

Well it ends with a 1 so it would be perfect but we have to see if 151 and 31 together adds up with the total of 192..

$151+31=192$

This means that train A could be 151 tons or 31 tons and train B can also be wither 151 tons or 31 tons...

The variable used to predict changes in the values of another value is called the response variable.

Sholpan [36]

I think the statement given above is false. The variable used to predict changes in the values of another value is not called the response variable. The variable used to predict another variable is called the independent, predictor or explanatory variable. Hope this answers the question.

For altitudes up to 36,000 feet, the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The equation for a is $a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

The altitute is 101,428.57 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric temperature can be described by the formula

t = -0.0035a +g

where:

t is the atmospheric temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
a is the altitude, in feet, at which the atmospheric temperature is measured
g is the ground temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Solving the equation for a:

-0.0035a +g=t

-0.0035a= t - g

$a=\frac{t-g}{-0.0035}$

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

The equation for a is $a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

If the atmospheric temperature is -305 °F and the ground temperature is 50 °F, then t= -305 °F and g= 50 °F

Replacing in the equation for a you get:

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-305-50)$

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-355)$

a= 101,428.57

The altitute is 101,428.57 feet

Solve the simultaneous equations 8 x + 5 y = 28 4 x + 5 y = 16

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

x=3, y=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y=28

4x+5y=16

Subtract the second simultaneous equation from the first.

You are left with: 4x=12

12/4=3

x=3

Substitute this back into one of the equations.

8(3)+5y=28

8*3=24

28-24=4

4=5y

4/5=0.8

y=0.8
