<em>x equals 22</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

____________________________________________

The Segment Postulate states the following:

<em>Given two end points A and B, a third point C lines on the segment AB if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation:</em>

$\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB}$

____________________________________________

From the figure:

$\overline{AC}=8+x \\ \\ \overline{CB}=10 \\ \\ \overline{AB}=40$

Our goal is to find x:

$\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB} \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ 40=(8+x)+10 \\ \\ 18+x=40 \\ \\ Subtracting \ 18 \ from \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 18-18+x=40-18 \\ \\ \boxed{x=22}$

Answer:

$\large\boxed{8m^2n^3-24m^2n^2+4m^3n=4m^2n(2n^2-6n+m)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8m^2n^3-24m^2n^2+4m^3n\\\\8m^2n^3=\boxed{(2)}\boxed{(2)}(2)\boxed{(m)}\boxed{(m)}\boxed{(n)}(n)(n)\\\\24m^2n^2=\boxed{(2)}\boxed{(2)}(2)(3)\boxed{(m)}\boxed{(m)}\boxed{(n)}(n)\\\\4m^3n=\boxed{(2)}\boxed{(2)}\boxed{(m)}\boxed{(m)}(m)\boxed{(n)}\\\\8m^2n^3-24m^2n^2+4m^3n\\\\=\boxed{(2)}\boxed{(2)}\boxed{(m)}\boxed{(m)}\boxed{(n)}\bigg((2)(n)(n)-(2)(3)(n)+(m)\bigg)\\\\=4m^2n(2n^2-6n+m)$

You and a friend sign up for a health club. It costs $50 to join, plus $20 a month. However, the first 100 customers can sign up

arsen [322]

Hello!

First you have to find the differences in the prices

The only difference is that your friend signed up for $30 and you signed up for $50

This means that the lines would be parallel and your cost will be $20 higher than your friends

The answer is $20

Hope this helps!

Answer:

d. 0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The given regression equation is

y=0.6x+188

Here, slope=b=0.6

xbar=420, sx=80, ybar=440 and sy=60.

As we know that when y=a+bx, the slope is

b=r(sy/sx)

From this equation we can find correlation coefficient r

b*sx=r*sy

bsx/sy=r

r=0.6*80/60=48/60=0.80.

Hence the correlation coefficient r=0.8.
