3( x - 1 ) = 2 x + 5

Expand 3(x-1) :

3*x - 3 x 1

3 x - 3 = 2 x + 5

Add 3 both sides :

3 x - 3 + 3 = 2 x + 5 + 3

3 x = 2 x + 8

3x - 2 x = 8

x = 8

hope this helps!

When planning road development, the road commission estimates the future population using the function represented in the table,

Leokris [45]

Considering that 160,000 is the y-intercept of the function, it's significance is given by:

the initial population at the time of the estimation.

<h3>What is the y-intercept of a function f(x)?</h3>

The y-intercept is f(0), that is, the value of y when x = 0, which is interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Researching this problem on the internet, it is found that f(0) = 160,000, hence the significance of 160,000 in the function is given by:

the initial population at the time of the estimation.

Please help me with this Geometry question

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Given that JN was bisected, JL ≅ LN

Given that KM was bisected, KL ≅ ML

∠JLK ≅ ∠MLN because of vertical angles.

∠JLK is contained by JL and KL.

∠MLN is contained by ML and LN.

Therefore ΔJKL ≅ ΔNML by the SAS postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The SAS postulate states that when you know two triangles have an equal angle, and that angle is formed by two sides that are equal in both triangles, the two triangles are congruent.

When a line is bisected, it means it was cut in two equal parts.

Since two lines were bisected and each form a side in the triangles, two sides are congruent.

The contained angles, ∠JLK and ∠MLN, are equal because of vertical angles. Vertical angles occur when two straight lines intersect. Angles that are opposite to each other are equal in all cases.

Suppose y varies directly as x, and y=14 when x=4. What is the value of y when x=9

Katena32 [7]

Given :-

y varies directly as x, and y=14 when x=4.

To Find :-

the value of y when x=9 .

Solution :-

According to Question ,

y = kx ( k is constant )

When y = 14 and x = 4 ,

14 = k(4)
k = 14/4
k = 7/2

When x = 9 ,

y = 7/2*9
y = 63/2
y = 31.5
