12 = 2/3(x - 3)

Distributive property.

12 = 2/3x - 2

Add 2 to both sides.

14 = 2/3x

Multiply both sides by 3.

42 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

21 = x

The value of x is equal to 21.

Count the same scores and make a list:

There are two 75's

Three 80's

Two 85's

Two 90's and one 100

Now find the chart that has those same values.

The answer would be B.

Endpoints of segment MN have coordinates (0, 0), (5, 1). The endpoints of segment AB have coordinates (1 1/22 , 2 1/4 ) and (−2

Answer: $k=18\dfrac{8}{11}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passing through two points, then

$Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Endpoints of segment MN have coordinates (0, 0) and (5, 1).

Slope of MN $=\dfrac{1-0}{5-0}=\dfrac{1}{5}$

The endpoints of segment AB have coordinates $\left(1\dfrac{1}{22} , 2\dfrac{1}{4}\right)$ and $\left(-2\dfrac{1}{4} , k\right)$ .

$A=\left(1\dfrac{1}{22} , 2\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=\left(\dfrac{23}{22} ,\dfrac{9}{4}\right)$

$B=\left(-2\dfrac{1}{4} , k\right)=\left(-\dfrac{9}{4} , k\right)$ .

Slope of AB $=\dfrac{k-\frac{9}{4}}{-\frac{9}{4}-\dfrac{23}{22}}$

$=\dfrac{\frac{4k-9}{4}}{\frac{-99-46}{44}}$

$=\dfrac{4k-9}{4}\times \dfrac{44}{-145}$

$=4k-9\times \dfrac{11}{-145}$

$=\dfrac{44k-99}{-145}$

Product of slopes of two perpendicular segments is -1.

Slope of MN × Slope of AB = -1

$\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{44k-99}{-145}=-1$

$\dfrac{44k-99}{-725}=-1$

$44k-99=725$

$44k=725+99$

$k=\dfrac{824}{44}$

$k=\dfrac{206}{11}$

$k=18\dfrac{8}{11}$

Therefore, the value of k is $k=18\dfrac{8}{11}$ .
