Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 8x − 9
y = 4x − 1
Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other
8x-9 = 4x-1
Subtract 4x from each side
8x-4x-9 = 4x-4x-1
4x-9 = -1
Add 9 to each side
4x-9+9 = -1+9
4x = 8
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 8/4
x=2
Now find y
y = 4x-1
y = 4(2)-1
y = 8-1
y = 7
(2,7)
The point of intersection when the 2 lines are graphed is (2,7)
179 / 9 is about 20
exact = 19.888888
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment that is x units long is the midsegment of the largest triangle. The midsegment is half as long as the line parallel to the midsegment. It is half as long as the 30 unit long segment.
Note how the vertical sides (marked with the double tickmarks) are congruent to one another. The smaller pieces are both the same length, so they combine to something twice as big. Go in reverse: one segment with a pair of double tickmarks is exactly half as long as the entire vertical side. The same can be said about the horizontal sides as well.
