We know the CE = 10x + 18 and DE = 7x - 1 and D is the midpoint of CE

⇒ CE = 2 * DE

⇒ 10x + 18 = 2 * (7x - 1)

⇒ 10x + 18 = 14x - 2

⇒ -4x = -20

⇒ x = 5

Now we also know that BC = 9x - 3 and AC = CE = 10x + 18

⇒ AB = AC - BC

⇒ AB = 10x + 18 - (9x - 3)

⇒ AB = x + 21

Substituting the value of x,

⇒ AB = 5 + 21

⇒ AB = 26

Hence, the value of AB is 26 units.

In Exercises 23–36, solve the system using either Gaussian elimina- tion with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination. 23.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

23) x= 3, y = 4

24) Any (x,y) values where x = 1.5 - 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first system(23), it goes like this

[1 2 | 7]

[2 1 | 8]

We need to do L2 = L2 - 2L1, so now it is

[1 2   | 7]

[0 -3 |-6]

So, now we have:

-3y = -6 *(-1)

3y = 6

y = 2

x + 2y = 7

x + 4 = 7

x = 3

Now for system 24, we have:

[-1 2 | 1.5]

[2 -4| 3]

We do L2 = L2 + 2L1, so we have:

[-1 2 | 1.5]

[0 0| 0]

So there are infinite solutions for this system. The solution for this system will be each (x,y) pair where x = 1.5 - 2y.

PQ is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about P. What are the coordinates of P' and Q'?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The co ordinates of P' is (-7,-2) and Q' is (-16, -8)

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

PQ is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about P. It means <u>P and P' are the same points</u>.

According to the graph, the coordinates of P is (-7, -2) and  Q is (2, 4)

When PQ is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about P, then <u>P or P' will be the mid-point of Q and Q' </u>

Suppose, the co ordinate of Q' is (x, y)

Now according to the mid-point formula, the coordinate of P or P' will be: (\frac{x+2}{2},\frac{y+4}{2}) , which is actually at (-7, -2)

Thus.....

\frac{x+2}{2}=-7\\ \\ x+2=-14\\ \\ x= -16\\ \\ and\\ \\ \frac{y+4}{2}= -2\\ \\ y+4= -4\\ \\ y= -8

So, the co ordinates of P' is (-7,-2) and Q' is (-16, -8)

The freezing point of water is 0 C. Scientists use positive numbers to show temperatures above the freezing point water and nega
inn [45]

Answer:

The -18°C temperature as the freezing point of maple syrup means that the temperature at which maple syrup changes from liquid to solid (that is, freezes) is 18° below the freezing point of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is explained that the freezing point of water is used as the standard or reference point to calibrate the Celsius scale.

The scientists use 0°C to represent the freezing point of water and subsequently use positive numbers to indicate temperatures above the freezing point of water and negative numbers to indicate temperatures lower than the freezing point of water.

So, a temperature/freezing point of -18°C simply means that the temperature/freezing point is 18° lower than the freezing point of water.

Hope this Helps!!!

Me.jhonson sells erasers for $3 each he sold 96 erasers last week and he sold 204 eraser this week about how much more money did
Sveta_85 [38]
Step 1:
96 divided by $3 = $32

Step 2:
204 divided by $3= $68

Step 3:
$68-$32=36

He made $36 more this week
