X=-7 AB=-72

steps

since m is a midpoint, AM and MB are congruent so you set the two equations equal to each other, 4x-9=5x-3/3( is this a typo? bc 3/3 is 1)
subtract 4x from both sides m, -8=x-1
add 1 to both sides
x=-7

then plug -7 in for x 4(-7)-8=-36
since the two segments are congruent u do -36 x 2= -72

There are 60 girls and 90 boys in the sixth grade at a middle school. What percent of the sixth graders at this middle school ar

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total number of sixth graders

To do this, add the number of girls and boys together

girls+boys

There are 60 girls and 90 boys

60+90

150

Now, find the percent of sixth graders that are boys

To do this, divide the number of boys by the total number of sixth graders

boys/total sixth graders (part/whole)

There are 90 boys, and 150 total sixth graders

90/150

0.6

Convert to a percent. Multiply by 100 or move the decimal place two spots to the right

0.6*100=60

0.6-->6.0-->60.

So, 60% are boys

Given the polynomial 2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 162, what is the value of the coefficient 'k' in the factored form?2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 16

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

$k=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

$f(x)=2x^3+18x^2-18x-162$

We factor 2 to obtain;

$f(x)=2(x^3+9x^2-9x-81)$

We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.

$f(x)=2(x^2(x+9)-9(x+9)$

$f(x)=2(x^2-9)(x+9)$

$f(x)=2(x^2-3^2)(x+9)$

We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: $x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)$

$f(x)=2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)$

We now compare to;

$f(x)=2(x+k)(x-k)(x+9)$

It is now obvious that $k=3$
