Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 42 = 18x - 12 (alternate angles)
or, 18x - 6x = 42+12
or, 12x = 54
or, x = 54/12
x= 4.5
Answer:
Yes, he earned a Varsity letter because he played in 61% of the games.
Step-by-step explanation:
To know the percent of games he played out of the total, we can do it by dividing the games he played by the total of games and multiply this by 100% to get the percent of games he played:

We solve:
0.611111*100% = 61.11%
So we know that he earned a letter because he played in 61.11% of the games, more than he needed.
the surface area of that rectangular prism is 247.5.
Given:
Point D is the centroid of Triangle ABC and DE = 9.
To find:
The measures of CD and CE.
Solution:
We know that, centroid is the intersection of medians and it divides each median in 2:1.
In triangle ABC, CE is a meaning and centroid D divided CE in 2:1. So,
Let the measures of CD and DE are 2x and x respectively.
DE = 9 (Given)

Now,



And,



Therefore, the measure of CD is 18 units and the measure of CE is 27 units.
First we'll do two basic steps. Step 1 is to subtract 18 from both sides. After that, divide both sides by 2 to get x^2 all by itself. Let's do those two steps now
2x^2+18 = 10
2x^2+18-18 = 10-18 <<--- step 1
2x^2 = -8
(2x^2)/2 = -8/2 <<--- step 2
x^2 = -4
At this point, it should be fairly clear there are no solutions. How can we tell? By remembering that x^2 is never negative as long as x is real.
Using the rule that negative times negative is a positive value, it is impossible to square a real numbered value and get a negative result.
For example
2^2 = 2*2 = 4
8^2 = 8*8 = 64
(-10)^2 = (-10)*(-10) = 100
(-14)^2 = (-14)*(-14) = 196
No matter what value we pick, the result is positive. The only exception is that 0^2 = 0 is neither positive nor negative.
So x^2 = -4 has no real solutions. Taking the square root of both sides leads to
x^2 = -4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-4)
|x| = sqrt(4)*sqrt(-1)
|x| = 2*i
x = 2i or x = -2i
which are complex non-real values
