Since K is the midpoint of JL, it divides the segment JL into two equal halves.
That means    ⇒  JK = KL
Substitute expressions for the parts ⇒ 7x + 4 = 12x - 21
Now solve the equation:                        7x - 7x + 4 = 12x - 7x - 21
                                                                              4 = 5x - 21
                                                                       4 + 21 = 5x - 21 + 21
                                                                             
25 = 5x  
                                                                                5 = x
Substitute the value into one of the expressions: JK = 7(5) + 4 = 39
JL = JK + KL
JL = 39 + 39 = 78

ivolga24 [154]

2 61/64m^3; For a rectangular prism, just use the formula V=w h l

V=0.875*1.5*2.25

V=1.3125*2.25

V=2.953125

V=2 61/64m^3

Using the number line, determine which expressions have a value that is greater than –8. Select Yes or No for each expression. l
Nimfa-mama [501]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

yes

  • -6-(-6)
  • -4-(-7)

no

  • all others
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Doing what the directions say is generally a good idea.

Adding a number moves to the right; subtracting a number moves to the left. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its opposite.

The arrowhead end of the line in the figure is the end result. Two of them end up to the right of -8, that is, greater than -8.

For f(x) = 2x+1 and g(x) = x+14, find (gof)(x).
Goryan [66]

Answer: OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe that the exercise provides you two Linear functions.

The first Linear function is the function f(x). This is:

f(x) = 2x+1

And the other Linear function is the function g(x):

g(x) = x+14

In order to find (gof)(x), you need to follow these steps shown below:

<u>Step 1</u>:

You must substitute the function f(x) into the function g(x); this means that the function f(x) will be in the place of the variable "x" of the function g(x); as you can observe below:

(gof)(x) = (2x+1)+14

<u>Step 2</u>:

Finally you must combine the like terms (You can notice that the like terms are 1 and 14; then you must add them). Therefore, you get that  (gof)(x) is:

(gof)(x) = 2x+1+14\\\\(gof)(x) = 2x+15

The temperature went from -16°F to 7°F. What was the change in temperature?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
So you’re going from -16° to 7°. think of the equation as 16+7. you get 23. if the numbers go from a negative to a positive, the sun will be positive. so you’re answer is 23.
