8 0

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Angle Bisector of a triangle and proportions to solve this problem.  Put the smaller triangle over the larger triangle.

AB       x+4

------ = ----------

AC         2x+1


8       x+4

------ = ----------

12         2x+1

Using cross products

8(2x+1) = 12(x+4)

Distribute

16x+8 = 12x+48

Subtract 12x from each side

16x-12x +8 = 12x-12x+48

4x +8 = 48

Subtract 8 from each side

4x+8-8 = 48-8

4x = 40

Divide by 4

4x/4 =40/4

x = 10

What are the coordinates of the image of the point (1-, 2) under a dilation of 3 with the origin
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The image of the point (1, -2) under a dilation of 3 is (3, -6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct statement is:

<em>What are the coordinates of the image of the point (1, -2) under a dilation of 3 with the origin.</em>

From Linear Algebra we get that dilation of a point with respect to another point is represented by:

\vec P' = \vec R + r\cdot (\vec P-\vec R) (Eq. 1)

Where:

\vec R - Reference point with respect to origin, dimensionless.

\vec P - Original point with respect to origin, dimensionless.

r - Dilation factor, dimensionless.

If we know that \vec R = (0,0), \vec P = (1, -2) and r = 3, then the coordinates of the image of the original point is:

\vec P' = (0,0) +3\cdot [(1,-2)-(0,0)]

\vec P' = (0,0) + 3\cdot (1,-2)

\vec P' = (3,-6)

The image of the point (1, -2) under a dilation of 3 is (3, -6).

Janine and her older sister Ingrid's ages are consecutive even numbers. When Janine's age is divided by seven, and Ingrid's age
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be x and x + 2 for Janine and her sister, respectively.

x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14

Multiply both sides by the LCD, 21, to get rid of denominators.

21 * x/7 + 21 * (x + 2)/2 = 21 * 14

3x + 7(x + 2) = 294

3x + 7x + 14 = 294

10x = 280

x = 28

x + 2 = 30

Answer: Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.
