Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-3a + 8 = 2z + -12

Reorder the terms:

8 + -3a = 2z + -12

Reorder the terms:

8 + -3a = -12 + 2z

Solving

8 + -3a = -12 + 2z

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

-3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

Combine like terms: -12 + -8 = -20

-3a = -20 + 2z

Divide each side by '-3'.

a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z

Simplifying

a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z

This is a right angle triangle.

So, by Pythagoras theorem,

√(32^2+20^2) = x

or √(1024+400) = x

or √1424 = x

or 37.74 = x

Answer:

line of reflection was across the -2 line on the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

the y points on all of the given points are the same distance from each other to the -2 line. (ie. (-5,2) and (-5,-6) = the 2 is 4 places away from -2 and -6 is 4 places away from -2.) making the reflection point -2 because it is the halfway point for all y values. It is on the x-axis because it is said it is a horizontal line. If it was vertical it would be on the y-axis.

Twin brothers, Billy and Bobby, can mow their grandparent’s lawn together in 63 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself in

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<h2>140 minutes</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

this problem focuses on the combined work rate

both can finish the work under 63 minute

let bobby mow the lawn in x minute

Billy will then mow the lawn in x-25 minutes

Let the completed job = 1 (a mowed lawn)

we can now apply the combined work formula for the two boys as

$\frac{63}{x}+\frac{63}{x-25}=1$

multiplying through by x(x-25 )we have

$63(x-25)+63x= x(x-25)$

open bracket we have

$63x-1575+63x= x^2-25x$

rearranging and collecting like terms we have

$0=x^2-25x-63x-63x+1575 \\\\0=x^2-151x+1575 \\\\x^2-151x+1575=0$

we can now use the quadractic formula

$x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{} \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

a= 1

b= -151

c= 1575

$x=\frac{-(-151)\frac{+}{} \sqrt{151^2-4*1*1575} }{2*1}$

$x=\frac{-(-151)\frac{+}{} \sqrt{22801-6300} }{2} \\\\x=\frac{-(-151)\frac{+}{} \sqrt{16501} }{2} \\\\x=\frac{-(-151)\frac{+}{} 128.45}{2} \\\\$

$x=\frac{-(-151)+128.45}{2} \\\\\x=\frac{279.45}{2} \\\\x=139.72 \\\\\\x=\frac{-(-151)-128.45}{2}\\\\x=\frac{151-128.45}{2}\\\\x=\frac{22.55}{2}\\\\x=11.27$

the first answer x= 139.72 approximately 140 minutes mins is correct for Bobby's time

let us check

$\frac{63}{140}+\frac{63}{140-25}=1\\\\\\0.45+\frac{63}{115} =1\\\\0.45+0.5478=1\\0.997 =1$

we can see that the solution approximates to 1
