Let b>a, 

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since  a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Equilátero si todos sus lados son iguales o isósceles si la base es menor que sus otros dos lados.

Revisar fotografía adjunta.

Comienzas dibujando la línea de 6 cm. Luego encuentras su mediatríz, la cual está a 3 centímetros de cualquier extremo de la línea.

Luego dibujas el triángulo como se muestra en el dibujo. Dependiendo de la longitud de los lados, el triángulo podría ser equilátero si todos sus lados son iguales o isósceles si solo los dos lados inclinados son iguales y la base es diferente.

Find the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the polynomial function defined
Bas_tet [7]
The y intercept is where the function passes through the y axis, so the “x” value needs to equal 0. We sub 0 in for “x” and solve for “y”.

f(0) = 9(0)^2 - 7 - 8(0)

f(0) = -7

Therefore the “y” coordinate would be -7

The ordered pair would be

(0, -7)

1/4 k = 3 (-1/4 k + 3)
Vladimir [108]

Simplify 1/4k to k/4

k/4 = 3(-k/4 + 3)

Regroup terms

k/4 = 3(3 - k/4)

Multiply both sides by 4

k = 12(3 - k/4)

Expand

k = 36 - 3k

Add 3k to both sides

k + 3k = 36

Simplify k + 3k to 4k

4k = 36

Divide both sides by 4

k = 36/4

Simplify 36/4 to 9

<u>k = 9</u>
