Answer:

  • x = 1.25
  • y = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Find x

  • 8/10 = 5/(5 + x)          Cross multiply
  • 8*(5 + x) = 10*5          Combine on the right
  • 8(5 + x) = 50              Remove the brackets on the left.
  • 40 + 8x = 50              Subtract 40 from both sides.
  • 40-40 +8x = 50-40    Combine
  • 8x = 10                        Divide by 8
  • 8x/8 = 10/8                 Divide
  • x = 1.25

Find y

  • 7/(7 + y) = 8/10                    Cross multiply
  • 8*(7 + y) = 10 * 7                  Combine the right
  • 8(7 + y) = 70                        Remove the brackets.
  • 56 + 8y = 70                       Subtract 56 from both sides
  • 56 - 56 + 8y = 70 - 56       Combine
  • 8y = 14                                Divide by 8
  • y = 1.75

Answer:

y = -3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Choosing two points from the given table:

Let (x1, y1) = (-3, 16)

(x2, y2) = (-1, 10)

Plug these given values into the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

   = (10 - 16) / (-1 - (-3))

   = -6 / (-1 + 3)

   = -6/2

   = -3

Therefore, the slope is -3.

Next, choose one of the points and plug into the <u>point-slope form</u>:

Let's use (-1, 10) as (x1, y1):

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 10 = -3(x - (-1))

y - 10 = -3(x + 1)

y - 10 = -3x - 3

Add 10 on both sides to isolate y:

y - 10 + 10 = -3x - 3 + 10

y = -3x + 7

Find m&lt;DCV and m&lt;VBD​
max2010maxim [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • m∠DCV = 50°
  • m∠VBD = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc DV is 100°, so any inscribed angle that intercepts that arc will have a measure that is half of 100°, or 50°.

Inscribed angles DCV and VBD both intercept arc DV, so both are 50°.
