Answer:

The smaller number equals 12, the larger number equals 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (3x + 15) = 63

Combine like terms.

4x + 15 = 63

Subtract 15 from both sides.

4x + (15 -15) = (63 - 15)

4x = 48

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Check answer.

12 + (3(12) + 15) = 63

12 + 36 + 15 = 63

63 = 63

This figure shows △XYZ . MZ¯¯¯¯¯¯ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . What is XM ? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. unit
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Length of XM is 5.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △XYZ where MZ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . we have to find the length of XM.

A triangle with vertices  X, Y, and Z. Side XZ is base. A line segment drawn from Z to M bisects ∠YZX into two parts ∠YZM and ∠XZM.

YZ=7 units, XZ=11 units and YM=3.5 units

By angle bisector theorem which states that an angle bisector of an angle divides the opposite side in two segments that are proportional to the another two sides of the triangle.

Hence, \frac{YM}{MX}=\frac{YZ}{XZ}

⇒ \frac{3.5}{MX}=\frac{7}{11}

⇒ MX=5.5 units.

Hence, length of XM is 5.5 units.

What is the value of this expression if h<br> = 8,j = -1, and k<br> =<br> -12
Rashid [163]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

\dfrac{j^3k}{h^0}

We need to find the value of this expression when h = 8, j = -1 and k = -12.

Put all the values in the given expression.

\dfrac{j^3k}{h^0}\\\\=\dfrac{(-1)^3\times (-12)}{(8)^0}\\\\=\dfrac{-1\times -12}{1}\\\\=12

So, the value of the given expression is 12.

Please help solve for PQ.
DerKrebs [107]
This problem cannot be solved unless we are given figure NPQR is a rhombus.
In that case, then all sides are equal, meaning 
5x+16=9x-32
Solve for x
9x-5x=16+32
4x=48
x=12

Each side (including PQ) then equals 5x+16=5*12+16=76
