1. You have that:

 - The<span> lengths of the bases are (6x-1) units and 3 units.
 - The midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units.

 2. To solve this exercise, you must apply the formula for calculate the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid, which is shown below:

 Midsegment=Base1+Base2/2

 As you can see, the midsegment is half the sum of the bases of the trapezoid.

 3. When you substitute the values, you obtain:

 (5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2

 4. Now, you can solve the problem by clearing the "x":
</span>
 (5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2
 2(5x-3)=6x-1+3
 10x-6=6x+2
 10x-6x=2+6
 4x=8
 x=8/4
 x=2

La mamá del profesor Ernesto tiene una bolsa con 3/4 kilogramos de arroz y guiso 2/3 de su contenido Que fracción de un kilogram
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: ella usó (1/2) kg de arroz para cocinar.

Step-by-step explanation:

La madre de Ernesto tenía una bolsa con 3/4 kg de arroz.

Sabemos que uso 2/3 de esa cantidad para hacer un guiso.

Entonces ella usó 2/3 de 3/4 kilogramos de arroz.

Entonces ella usó:

(2/3)*(3/4) kg de arroz.

Recordemos que esto se puede escribir como el producto entre los numeradores dividido por el producto de los denominadores:

(2*3)/(3*4) kg de arroz.

(6/12) kg de arroz

(1/2) kg de arroz.

Esto significa que ella usó (1/2) kg de arroz para cocinar.

Solve for x. Please help quick, it’s my last question for my test
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

84 + (7x + 5) + (180 - (17x-1)) = 180

84 + 7x + 5 + (181 - 17x) = 180

270 + (-10x) = 180

90 = 10x

x = 9
