Answer:

Savannah collected 180 stamps and her brother collected 36 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of stamps Savannah brother collected

Savannah collected 5 times as many stamps as her brother, then

5x = number of stamps Savannah collected.

Total number of stamps = 216, then

$x+5x=216\\ \\6x=216\\ \\x=\dfrac{216}{6}\\ \\x=36\\ \\5x=5\cdot 36=180$

A right triangle has legs that are 15 feet and 25 feet long.

zhenek [66]

15^2 + 25^2 = X62

225 + 625 = x^2

850 = x^2

x = 5sqrt(34)

if you need it as a decimal = 29.1547

3x+4y+z=-2<br> 2y+3z=-8<br> z=-3

masya89 [10]

Answer:

z=-3 so 2y+3(-3)=-8, 2y-9=-8, add 9 to both sides 2y=1 divide both sides by 2, y=1/2, so 3x+4(1/2)+-3=-2, 3x+2-3=-2, 3x-1=-2, add 1 to both sides, 3x=-1, divide both sides by 3, x=-1/3

8) Find the endpoint Cif M is the midpoint of segment CD and M (2, 4) and D (5,7)

Elenna [48]

Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let $D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)$

$C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})$

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$ and $4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

Solve for each:

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$

$2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2$

$4 = x_1 + 5$

$4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5$

$-1 = x_1$

$x_1 = -1$

$4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

$4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2$

$8 = y_1 + 7$

$8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7$

$1 = y_1$

$y_1 = 1$

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let $A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)$

$B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})$

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$ and $-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

Solve for each:

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$

$-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2$

$-8 = x_1 - 2$

$-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2$

$-6 = x_1$

$x_1 = -6$

$-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

$-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2$

$-10 = y_1 - 9$

$-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9$

$-1 = y_1$

$y_1 = -1$

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.
