Answer:

x=\frac{13\ miles* 1\ friend}{5\ friends} =2.6\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

I think I can help you with this

we can define a relation between the total distance and the number of  friends using a rule of three

Step one

Let

total distance (d) = 13 miles

Total  friends = 5 friends

if

13\ miles = 5\ friends\\x\ miles = 1\ friend\\\\\frac{13\ miles}{5\ friends} =\frac{x\ miles }{1\ friend}\\ \\isolating\ x\\\\x=\frac{13\ miles* 1\ friend}{5\ friends} =2.6\ miles

I hope it helps , have a good day

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:\frac{15}{56}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to select george but not nina with two other people

No. of ways  selecting 2 two people knowing Geroge will be the third one is

^6C_2 (beacuse we have to exclude Nina)

And total no of ways of selecting 3 people out of 8 people is ^8C_3

Therefore the required Probability is \frac{^6C_{2}}{^8C_{3}}    

=\frac{15}{56}

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the  midpoint of side YZ.

Triangle XYZ is cut by line segment AB. Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the midpoint of side YZ. The length of XY is (5x - 7), the length of AB is (x + 1), and the lengths of XA and ZA are (2x - 2). The lengths of YB and BZ are congruent.

What is AX ?

2 units

4 units

6 units

8 units

From the figure attached,

XYZ is a triangle having A and B as the midpoints of the sides XZ and YZ.

By the theorem of midpoints,

AB = \frac{1}{2}\text{(XY)}

Since AB = (x + 1) and XY = (5x - 7)

(x + 1) = \frac{1}{2}(5x-7)

2x + 2 = 5x - 7

5x - 2x = 2 + 7

3x = 9

x = 3

Therefore, side AB = 3 + 1 = 4 units

Side XY = (5x - 7)

             = 15 - 7

             = 8 units

Side XA = 2(x - 1)

              = 4 units

Therefore, Option (2) will be the answer.

Solve for k: -2k = k - 7 - 8 and explain in number form
Kamila [148]

Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2k = k - 7 - 8

Combine like terms

-2k = k - 15

add 15 to both sides

-2k + 15 = k

Add 2k to both sides

15 = 3k

Divide both sides by 3

k=5

Hope this helps!
