Looking at the image I have attached (with MN being the midsegment of the trapezoid), For any PQ with P and Q lying on the bases of the trapezoid there exists ON with O being the point of intersection between PQ and MN. ON must be parallel to PC because ON is part of MN and PC is a part of DC, and MN and DC are parallel. And N must be the midpoint of CB because MN is the midsegment of the trapezoid, so MN must bisect CB. And since ON is parallel to PC and bisects CB, that means it is a midsegment of QBCP and must bisect PQ.

It took Mark a total of 4 hours 40 minutes to clean the garage and cut the grass. If it took 1 hour 45 minutes to cut the grass,

Lady_Fox [76]

You can get the answer by subtracting the time it took Mark to cut the grass from the total amount of time it took him to do the chores. So 4 hours and 40 minutes minus 1 hour and 45 minutes is 2 hours and 55 minutes

What is the solution to the system of linear equations

Alchen [17]

So this easiest way to solve is to use the elimination method. Basically you just add the equations together. This is what you do.

-5x + y = -11
x - y = 7
Add the equations.(This operation gets rid of the y-value)
-4x = -4
Divide.
x = 1
Now plug in 1 into an equation of your choice and find the value of y.
1 - y = 7
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-y = 6
Divide by -1 because you can't have a -y.
y = -6
So the solution is (1, -6).
I hope this helps love! :)

A complete table with values for x or y that make this equation true:3x+y=15

Andreyy89

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is: $3x+y=15$ ,

Now, putting x=2 in above equation,

$3(2)+y=15$

$y=15-6=9$

Now, put y=3 in the given equation,

$3x+3=15$

$3x=12$

$x=4$

Putting x=6,

$3(6)+y=15$

$y=15-18$ $y=-3$

Putting x=0,

$0+y=15$

$y=15$

Putting x=3,

$3(3)+y=15$

$y=15-9$

$y=6$

Putting y=0,

$3x+0=15$

$x=5$

Putting y=8,

$3x+8=15$

$3x=7$

$x=\frac{7}{3}$
