6/12=X/18
Using the ratio of 18:12, you multiply 18/12 with 6, which equals 9.

Answer:

NJ=9

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that MN and KL are parallel. If JM = 6, MK = 12, and LN = 18. We are asked to find the measure of NJ.

Since line MN is parallel to KL, so triangle JMN is similar to JKL.

We know that corresponding sides of similar triangle are proportional. We will use proportion to solve for NJ as:

\frac{NJ}{LN}=\frac{JM}{MK}

\frac{NJ}{18}=\frac{6}{12}

Multiplying both sides by 18, we will get:

\frac{NJ}{18}*18=\frac{6}{12}*18

NJ=\frac{1}{2}*18

NJ=9

Therefore, measure of NJ is 9 units.

Y=-x+1 y=2/3x-4 please answer this!!!!
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

(x, y) = (-15, -14)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x+1

y = 2/3x - 4

Next, we will substitute the value of y (first equation) into the second equation.

x+1 = 2/3x - 4

1/3x + 1 = -4

1/3x = -5

x = -15

So, y = -14

Helping my 2nd grader with his math homework and came across this. I don't know Common Core but I can find the sum "the old fash
n200080 [17]
427+316 

step one- add 400 and 300=700
step two- take 3 from the 16 and add it to the 27 and add - 27+3+13=43
step three- add 43 and 700

I think that the common core way just adds more steps and makes it more complicated than just adding it regularly, but that's just me.
