Answer:

The length of the blue rope is 80.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

B = Blue Rope

G = Green Rope

R = Red Rope

B=3R (Blue is 3 x as long as Red)

G=5B (Green is 5 x as long as Blue)

B+G+R = 508.25 (The three ropes together are 508.25 meters)

Since B=3R, I will rewrite the equation above

3R + G + R = 508.25

Now, I will write G in terms of R:

G=5B

B=3R, so 5B = 15R (multiply both sides by 5) which means that G=5B=15R, so G=15R.

Rewrite the equation again in terms of R:

3R + 15R + R = 508.25

19R = 508.25 (combine like terms)

R = 26.75 (divide both sides by 19 to solve for R)

Now, use the value 26.75 (R, which is the length of the red rope) to solve for B (the length of the blue rope):

B=3R

B=3(26.75)

B=80.25 meters

The diagram shows a right angle.<br> Write an equation to determine the value of x. Solve for x.
kramer

Answer:

8x + (6x + 6) = 90°

x = 6°

Step-by-step explanation:

because it is a right angle, the sum of the angles = 90°

8x + (6x + 6°) = 90°

simplify:

14x + 6° = 90°

subtract 6° from each side:

14x = 84°

divide both sides by 14:

x = 6°

IGIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BRAINLILSTTT
Temka [501]

Answer:

first box (x): 10

second box (y): 12

Step-by-step explanation:

HIJ is a translation of HIJ

translation just means you move the whole thing without any rotations dialations ect just moving it

from the blue shape it is asking what do you have to do to the x and y to get to the purple shape

you have to go +_x and take away _y

when you add a digit to x it moves to the right

when you add a digit to y it goes one up

because the HIJ are equaly spaced it dosnt matter which one we choose cause it will have the same answer

im going to use J

on the blue J you can see the x value is -8

the purple J's value is 5

to get from -5 to 5 you add 10

-5+5=0

0+5=5

5+5=10

therefore the first box (x) is 10

same thing for the y value im going to use J again

blue y value of J is 7

purple y value of J is -5

their distance is 12

7-7=0

0-5=-5

7+5=12

second box (y) is 12

i hope this helps
