Answer:

34 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a triangle and we are asked to find the length of segment DG,

We can see that point g is the centroid of our given triangle as it is the point, where medians of our given triangle are intersecting.

Since we know that centroid of a triangle divides its medians in 2:1 ratio, so we can set an equation for DG and CG as:

$2*CG=DG$

Now let us solve for x.

$2(x+5)=3x-2$

$2x+10=3x-2$

$2x-2x+10=3x-2x-2$

$10=x-2$

$10+2=x-2+2$

$12=x$

Upon substituting x=12 in the expression for the length of segment DG we will get,

$DG=3x-2$

$DG=3*12-2$

$DG=36-2$

$DG=34$

Therefore, the length of segment DG is 34 units.

The combined ages of a dog and his owner are 96 years in total. The owner is 3 times older than his dog. How old is the owner?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

72 yrs old.

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined age

D+O=96

The owner is 3 times older than dog

O=3D

D+3D=96

4D = 96

D= 24

Now substitute the value of D in O=3D

O=3.24= 72

The owner is 72 years old.

The voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The voltage in exponential form would be $(\frac{3}{5})^3$ .

The original voltage in the circuit is $\frac{3}{5}$ of a volt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original voltage.

We have been given that the voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has been reduced 3 times.

The original voltage multiplied by itself for 3 times would be $x\cdot x\cdot x=x^3$ .

Now, we will equate $x^3$ with 27/125 as:

$x^3=\frac{27}{125}$

We know that 27 is cube of 3 and 125 is cube of 5, so we can represent our equation as:

$x^3=\frac{3^3}{5^3}$

$x^3=(\frac{3}{5})^3$

Therefore, the voltage in exponential form would be $(\frac{3}{5})^3$

Now, we will take cube root of both sides to find original voltage in the circuit as:

$\sqrt[3]{x^3} =\sqrt[3]{(\frac{3}{5})^3}$

Using property $\sqrt[n]{a^n} =a$ , we will get:

$x =\frac{3}{5}$

Therefore, the original voltage in the circuit is $\frac{3}{5}$ of a volt.

Mustafa’s soccer team is planning a school dance as a fundraiser. The DJ charges $200 and decorations cost $100. The team decide

Aleksandr [31]

DJ + decorations = 200+100 = 300

tickets are $5 each

so 5n would be the total amount of money made then you need to subtract 300 ( cost of DJ and decorations )

so answer is: 5n - 300 = 1500

if you want to solve:

5n -300 = 1533

add 300 to each side

5n = 1800

divide both sides by 5

1800/5 = 360 tickets need to be sold
