Answer:

The x-coordinate of point P is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

A (2,3) and B (8,0)

we know that

Point P portions the segment AB in the ratio 2 to 1

so

AP=\frac{2}{3} AB

and

AP_x=\frac{2}{3} AB_x

where

AP_x represent the distance between the points A and P in the x-coordinates

AB_x represent the distance between the points A and B in the x-coordinates

AB_x=8-2=6\ units

AP_x=\frac{2}{3} (6)=4\ units

The x-coordinate of P is equal to

P_x=A_x+AP_x

where

A_x represent the x-coordinate of A

substitute the values

P_x=2+4=6

therefore

The x-coordinate of point P is 6

How do you connect the ideas of congruency and rigid motion and how do you prove congruency?
larisa86 [58]

If you cut a triangle out of a piece of paper, and move that triangle around (sliding, rotating, reflecting) then that triangle will retain its original shape and size. The three movement types mentioned are rigid motions. They do not change the size or shape of the triangle. If two triangles are congruent, then a sequence of one or more rigid motions can be applied to have them line up together.

Question 8 (1 point)
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

solution is x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

logx-log3=log(x-2)

apply log property

log a- log b= log a/b

logx-log3=log(x-2)\\log (\frac{x}{3} )=log(x-2)

we have log on both sides

so we remove the log and make the arguments equal

\frac{x}{3} = x-2

solve for x, multiply whole equation by 3

x=3(x-2)\\x=3x-6\\x-3x=-6\\-2x=-6\\x=3

now plug in 3 for x  and check

logx-log3=log(x-2)\\log3-log3=log(3-2)\\0=0

solution is x=3

Maggie's brother is 4 years younger than three times her age. The sum of their ages is 16.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Maggie is 5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3M-4+M=16

add 4 to both sides

4M=20

Divide both sides by 4

20/4 = 5

M/Maggie is 5
