Answer:

The fraction of wood used for horizontal support is \frac{5}{12}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the total piece of wood is of length 1.

It is provided that Talia used \frac{1}{3} of the piece of wood for the base of he project.

She use \frac{1}{4} of the piece of wood for the for the vertical support.

The remaining wood she used for horizontal support.

The amount of wood used for horizontal support can be computed by the subtracting the amount of wood used for base of the project and vertical support form 1.

Compute the amount of wood used for horizontal support as follows:

Horizontal\ support=1-Base\ of\ project-Vertical\ support\\= 1 - \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}\\  =\frac{12-4-3}{12} \\=\frac{5}{12}

Thus, the fraction of wood used for horizontal support is \frac{5}{12}.

Hey there!

“6 + r = 8”

• FIRST: FIRST THE EQUATION

r + 6 = 8

• SECOND: SUBTRACT by 6 on BOTH SIDES

r + 6 – 6 = 8 – 6

CANCEL out; 6 – 6 because that gives you 0

KEEP: 8 – 6 because that helps solve for your r-value

• THIRD: SOLVE FOR YOUR EQUATION

8 – 6 = r

• FOURTH: ANSWER THE QUESTION

8 – 6 = 2

FIFTH: ANSWER

r = 2 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

A system of equations is given below. y=1/2x-3 and -1/2x-3. Which of the following statements best describes the two lines?
pantera1 [17]

"They have different slopes but the same y-intercept, so they have one solution" is the statement which best describes the two lines.

Answer: Option D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equations:

           y=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times x\right)-3

           y=\left(-\frac{1}{2} \times x\right)-3

As we know that the slope intercept form of a line is  

                             y = m x + c  

So, from equation 1 and equation 2 we can see that

              m_{1}=\frac{1}{2} \quad \text { and } c_{1}=-3

              m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2} \text { and } c_{2}=-3

So, from the above expressions, we can say that both lines have different slopes but have same y – intercept with one common solution when x = 0.

What are the coordinates of point B?
zaharov [31]

Point a is at (-2,4) => (x1,y1)

Midpoint is (2.5, 3.5) => (a,b)

Point B is (x2, y2)

To find midpoint we use formula

(a=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , b= \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

a= 2.5, b= 3.5, x1= -2  and y1= 4

Plug in all the values and findout x2, y2

(2.5=\frac{-2+x_2}{2} , 3.5= \frac{4+y_2}{2})

multiply 2 on both sides to remove fraction

(5 = -2+x2 , 7 = 4+ y2)

5 = -2+x2, so x2= 7

7 = 4+ y2, so y2= 3

The point B is ( 7, 3)
