Answer:

x equals six start fraction one over two end fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Segments which are parallel have the same slope. Find the slope of of YZ. Then using that value, find the slope WX and solve for the value of x.

Slope of YZ is:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-6}{2-5}=\frac{-4}{-3}=\frac{4}{3}

Since they are parallel, then WX has a slope of 4/3 too.

Slope of WX is:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\frac{4}{3}=\frac{-2--4}{x-5}\\\\\frac{4}{3}=\frac{2}{x-5}\\\\\frac{4}{3} (x-5) = 2\\\\4x -20=6\\\\4x = 26\\\\x = 6\frac{1}{2}

5 1/6 + (7 1/3)l <60
agasfer [191]

Answer:

l

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

5\dfrac{1}{6}+7\dfrac{1}{3}l

First, convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

5\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5\cdot 6+1}{6}=\dfrac{31}{6}\\ \\7\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{7\cdot 3+1}{3}=\dfrac{22}{3}

Now the inequality looks like

\dfrac{31}{6}+\dfrac{22}{3}l

Multiply it by 6:

\dfrac{31}{6}\cdot 6+\dfrac{22}{3}l\cdot 6

iragen [17]

Answer:

Time square can't shine as bright as you

I swear, it's true

Hey there, Delilah

Don't you worry about the distance

I'm right there if you get lonely

Give this song another listen

Close your eyes

Listen to my voice, it's my disguise

I'm by your side

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

What you do to me

Hey there, Delilah

I know times are gettin' hard

But just believe me, girl

Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar

We'll have it good

We'll have the life we knew we would

My word is good

Hey there, Delilah

I've got so much left to say

If every simple song I wrote to you

Would take your breath away

I'd write it all

Even more in love with me you'd fall

We'd have it all

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far

But they've got planes and trains and cars

I'd walk to you if I had no other way

Our friends would all make fun of us

And we'll just laugh along because we know

That none of them have felt this way

Delilah, I can promise you

That by the time we get through

The world will never ever be the same

And you're to blame

Hey there, Delilah

You be good, and don't you miss me

Two more years and you'll be done with school

And I'll be makin' history like I do

You'll know it's all because of you

We can do whatever we want to

Hey there, Delilah, here's to you

This ones for you

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

What you do to me

Oh, whoa, whoa

Oh whoa, oh

Oh, oh
