see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

JM=JL+LM

Solve for JL

JL=JM-LM

we have

JM=(5x-8)\\LM=(2x-6)

substitute

JL=(5x-8)-(2x-6)

JL=5x-8-2x+6

JL=3x-2

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

JL=3x-2

Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle and one semicircle, with another semicircle removed. Round to the nea
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

  72 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shown has a uniform horizontal cross section, so is equivalent to a rectangle with length 12 and height 6. Its area is given by the rectangle formula:

  A = LW

  A = (12)(6) = 72 . . . . square units

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Essentially, the semicircle removed from the left side is tacked onto the right side. The rectangle area is unchanged by that.

Just "plug n chug" as my teacher would say. In other words, replace the letters with the values. 

Choice A is (7,19) which means x = 7 and y = 19. Let's replace the x and y value with these numbers in both equations. If we get a true equation, then we found the answer. 

2x-y = -5
2*7-19 = -5
14-19 = -5
-5 = -5 ... true
So that works. Let's try the other equation
x+3y = 22
7+3*19 = 22
7+57 = 22
64 = 22 ... false 
So choice A is NOT the answer because of this. Let's try out choice B
2x-y = -5
2*4-9 = -5
-1 = -5 ... false
so B doesn't work either. How about C? 
2x-y = -5
2*8-21 = -5
-5 = -5 ... that works
x+3y = 22
8+3*21 = 22
71 = 22 ... but this is false
So D has to be the answer. Let's check to confirm or not
2x-y = -5
2*1-7 = -5
-5 = -5 ... true
x+3y = 22
1+3*7 = 22
22 = 22 ... true
BOTH equations are true at the same time so (1,7) is definitely the final answer

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = –20 when x = 2, find y when x = 14
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

y = -140

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly with x

y = kx

We know y = -20 when x =2, we can solve for k

-20 = k*2

Divide each side by 2

-20/2= 2k/2

-10 =k

y = -10x

Now we want to find y when x = 14

y = -10 *14

y = -140
