Answer:

13/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2s - 1/4

s = 2/3

Plug s as 2/3 in the expression.

2(2/3) - 1/4

Multiply.

4/3 - 1/4

Find least common denominator.

(4 × 4)/(3 × 4) - (1 × 3)/(4 × 3)

16/12 - 3/12

Subtract fractions since denominators are same.

(16 - 3)/12

13/12

The value of the expression 2s - 1/4 when s = 2/3 is 13/12.

The two traingles, VSU and TSR are similar by SAS similarity criteria.

According to the diagram,
UT = TS
and
VR = SR

$\frac{ST}{SU} = \frac{ST}{ST + SU} \\ = \frac{ST}{2ST} = \frac{1}{2}$

Similarly for all sides the ratio must be same.
Applying this on the side required here,

$\frac{RT}{VU} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \frac{p - 6}{p} = \frac{1}{2} \\ 2p - 12 = p \\ p = 12$

Therefore p = 12 units= UV .

3x+2y=2 Y=x-9 A) (4,-5) B) (4,13) C) (-5,4) D) (20,11)

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Y = X - 9
so 3X +2Y = 2
will be 3X +2×(X-9) = 2
3X + 2X -18 = 2
5X = 2 + 18
5X = 20
X = 4
Y = X - 9
Y = 4-9
Y = -5
the answer will be A) (4,-5)
please mark me as brainlest
