Answer:

The position of the team now is 3 yards from their starting position

Step-by-step explanation:

- Lets explain how to solve the problem

- There is some words we can translate them in mathematics to (+)

sign and (-) sign as gain and loss

- Gain means add the value and loss means subtract the value

* Lets solve the problem

- There are 5 straight plays for a football team

- The football team gained 8 yards , then lost 4 yard , then gained

7 yards , then gained 3 yards and finally lost 11 yards

- We need to know the position of the football team now compared

to their starting position

- Assume that they started at 0 position and when they gained

yards we add them and when they lost yards we subtract them

∵ They gained 8 yards

∴ 0 + 8 = 8

∵ They lost 4 yards

∴ 8 - 4 = 4

∵ They gained 7 yards

∴ 4 + 7 = 11

∵ They gained 3 yards

∴ 11 + 3 = 14

∵ They lost 11 yards

∴ 14 - 11 = 3

* The position of the team now is 3 yards from their starting position

The answer is C because the 2x outside of the brackers must be negative to produce the beginning term. The next terms are positive and two negatives make a positive, therefore we can conclude that there must be a negative inside the brackets too.

Answer:

The number of lines for each angle tell you which angles are congruent.

The angle with one line in one triangle is the same as the angle with one line in the other triangle.

(a)

∠A ≅ ∠X

∠B ≅ ∠Z

∠C ≅ ∠Y

The dashes of the side lengths tell you which side lengths are congruent.

The line with one dash in one triangle is the same as the line with one dash in the other triangle.

(b)

AB ≅ XZ

AC ≅ XY

BC ≅ ZY

(c)

ΔBCA ≅ ΔZYX

Step 3: Let LM = x. We know the lengths of the radii of each circle, so KL = 12 +

kow [346]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 3:

Let LM = x

OK = KP = 12 units [Radii of circle K]

LN = LP = 8 units [Radii of circle L]

Therefore, KL = KP + PL

KL = 12 + 8

= 20 units

Step 4:

Since, ΔKOM and ΔLNM are the similar triangles,

By the property of two similar triangles, corresponding sides of these similar triangles will be proportional.

$\frac{OK}{NL}=\frac{KM}{LM}$

$\frac{12}{8}=\frac{x+20}{x}$

12x = 8(x + 20) [By cross multiplication]

12x = 8x + 160

12x - 8x = 160

4x = 160

x = 40
