The cake could've been cut into 6 equal pieces instead of eight so everyone could have one slice each

hope this helps :)

Simplify<br> l3r-15l if r<5<br> SOLVE NOW PLEASE

katrin [286]

Answer:

-3r + 15 ---> answer

Step-by-step explanation:

r < 5

You are going to multiply both sides with 3. The reason being is that 3 is a positive number and the equality sign will not change if you use +3.

3r < 15

Now, subtract 15 from both sides, you will get this:

3r < 15

-15 -15

-------------

3r — 15 < 0

Lastly, using the Modulus function, we are going to add a negative sign to the content of our previous step because it's already negative.

So, -3r + 15 is the final solution if r < 5 in the given equation of l3r-15l

If h(x) is the inverse of f(x), what is the value of h(f(x))?<br> OO<br> 0 1<br> f(x)

kozerog [31]

Answer:

x.

Step-by-step explanation:

h(f(x) = x.

For example the inverse of f(x) = 2x is g(x) = x/2

f((gx)) 2 (x/2)

= 2x / 2

= x.

Right triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ. If the length of side AB is 20.8 units, the length of side BC is 36.4 units, and

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

XY is 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Right triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ.

AB = 20.8 units

BC = 36.4 units

YZ = 7 units

We have to find the length of side XY.

Since the given triangles are similar, they have the following property:

The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

We can write,

$\displaystyle\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}$

Putting the given values, we have,

$\displaystyle\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{YZ}\\\\\frac{20.8}{XY}=\frac{36.4}{7}\\\\XY = \frac{20.8\times 7}{36.4} =4 \text{ units}$

Thus, the length of XY is 4 units.
