d. x = 2, DF = 7, EG = 7
 
DF is equivalent to EG; Therefore, the equation would be like this:

5x - 3 = x + 5
Transfer 3 and x to their opposite side and change their signs.

5x - x = 5 + 3
4x = 8
Find x. Divide both sides by 4.

4x / 4 = 8 / 4
x = 2

Subsitute x in the equation to find the length of each diagonal.

DF = 5x - 3 = 5(2) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7 ; DF = 7
EG = x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7 ; EG = 7

Answer: d. x = 2, DF = 7, EG = 7
Solution:
by ratio:  DF : EG
                5x - 3 = x + 5
Solving for x:
               
5x -x = 5 + 3
                 x = 2
Substituting x=2 in the expression
               DF = 5x -3 = 5(2) - 3 = 7
               EG = x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7

Sally has 10 pounds she wants to buy 28 cans of soda which cost 28p each does she have enough money
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Yes, Sally has enough money to buy 28 cans of soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, because £10 = 1000p

1000p / 28p = 35 cans

35 cans < 28 cans

So Sally has enough money for 28 cans.

The line passes through (9,8) and is perpendicular to x-2y=-16
pickupchik [31]

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x-2y=-16\\Adding\ 2y\ on\ both\ sides\\x=2y-16\\Adding\ 16\ on\ both\ sides\\x+16=2y-16+16\\x+16=2y\\2y=x+16\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x+16}{2}\\y=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{16}{2}\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+8\\

The equation is in slope-intercept form,  the coefficient of x will be the slope of given line. The slope is: 1/2

As the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

\frac{1}{2}*m=-1\\m=-1*\frac{2}{1}\\m=-2

Slope intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Putting the value of slope

y=-2x+b

To find the value of b, putting (9,8) in the equation

8=-2(9)+b\\8=-18+b\\b=8+18\\b=26

Putting the values of b and m

y=-2x+26

Hence,

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Slove algebraically<br><br>3x - 4y = -24<br>x +4y=8<br>​
Vanyuwa [196]

Solve algebrically 3x - 4y = -24 and x + 4y = 8 is x = -4 and y = 3

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given two equations which are as follows:

3x - 4y = -24   ----- eqn 1

x + 4y = 8   -------- eqn 2              

We have been asked to solve the equations which means we have to find the value of ‘x’ and ‘y’.

We rearrange eqn 2 as follows:

x + 4y = 8

x = 8 - 4y  ------eqn 3

Now we substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1 as follows:

3(8 - 4y) -4y = -24

24 - 12y - 4y = -24

-16y = -48

y = 3

Substitute "y" value in eqn 3. Therefore the value of ‘x’ becomes:

x = 8 - 4(3)

x = 8 - 12  = -4

Hence on solving both the given equations we get the value of x and y as -4 and 3 respectively.

A)
To be similar triangles have to have equal angles
triangle ZDB' 
1)angle Z=90 degrees
triangle B'CQ
1) angle C 90 degrees

angle A'B'Q=90
DB'Z+A'B'Q+CB'Q=180, straight angle
DB'Z+90+CB'Q=180
DB'Z+CB'Q=90

triangle ZDB'
DZB'+DB'Z=180-90=90

DB'Z+CB'Q=90
DZB'+DB'Z=90
DB'Z+CB'Q=DZB'+DB'Z
2)CB'Q=DZB' (these angles from two triangles ZDB' and B'CQ )
3)so,angles DB'Z and B'QC are going to be equal because of sum of three angles in triangles =180 degrees and 2 angles already equal.
so this triangles are similar by tree angles
b)
B'C:B'D=3:4
B'D:DZ=3:2
CQ-?
DC=AB=21
DC=B'C+B'D (3+4= 7 parts)
21/7=3
B'C=3*3=9
B'D=3*4=12
B'D:DZ=3:2
12:DZ=3:2
DZ=12*2/3=8
B'D:DZ=CQ:B'C
3:2=CQ:9
CQ=3*9/2=27/2

c)
BC=BQ+QC=B'Q+QC
BQ' can be found by pythagorean theorem
