Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Line DE is parallel to line AG.

Also, triangle ABG is similar to triangle to triangle DBE.

Therefore,

AB/DB = GB/EB = AG/DE

AB = 5 + 6 = 11

GB = 9 + x

Therefore,

11/6 = (9 + x)/9

Cross multiplying, it becomes

11 × 9 = 6(9 + x)

99 = 54 + 6x

Subtracting 54 from the Left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

54 - 54 + 6x = 99 - 54

6x = 45

Dividing the Left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 6, it becomes

6x/6 = 45/6

x = 7.5

Please help me!

Tamiku [17]

Check the picture below.

notice the sides, now, on the second triangle, side 6 slants a bit more to fit in 13, on the third triangle, side 6 slants even further to fit 13 in, now, if 6 were to slant completely, it'll make a flat-line with side 5, and there will be a triangle no more.

but even if side 6 would stretch to a flat-line, 5+6 is just 11, whilst side 13 is longer than that, so no dice.

Write a problem that could be modeled with y=200(0.9).

Lunna [17]

First, I need to decide what equation this is like.

I believe this is y=mx.

We know that x is typically the input, and m is the constant function.

Y is the output.

So the original function may have been y=200x.

The only difference is now we've been given something to apply to the equation, in place of x.

2. Imagine a cloning machine. Whatever you put in, you get a copy of, and the original thing you put in. Its function would be y=2x. Let's pretend we decided to put three things in; 3 would go where x is.

Y would be the result of 3 copies and their originals, or 2(3).

(6=2(3))

Now, when someone else decides to use the cloning machine, they may put any number in, but the only properties that will change are y and x, not m.

The function will remain y = 2x. Any number could go in place of x, and multiplying x by 2 will give you the y. As long as you have a different value for x, the y will never be the same.

3. So now we have an understanding of what it means, we see that we have been given an x value to insert; an input.

A more practical example could be someting with money. This won't be entirely realistic, because we are dealing with a fraction of a number and another large number.

4. I decided to go with flour. I wanted the 200 to represent pennies, or cents. Before I landed on this, I looked up the cost of flour per pound. I found that the average is .43 dollars, which isn't terribly close to two dollars. But maybe the flour is high quality, so we can stick with that.

5. Seeing that this equation, y=200x, means we are charging 200 cents, or two dollars, we can write a problem from here.

Sylvia is in charge of selling home-harvested flour from an organic farm. She charges two dollars per pound of flower. Today, her next-door neighbors hope to buy a ninth of pound of flour, and they insist on paying with pennies. How many pennies do they need to pay for their order?

Let me know if this helped, or if you have any questions!

Is 59 rational or irrational explain

saw5 [17]

59 is a rational number
59 is not a irrational number because simply a irrational number is basically
Pi ,E
Or any imperfect squares
A irrational number is a non repeating decimal and has different numbers in each space

Mixed Applications

Orlov [11]

The solution to the given question will be:-

A) If a number, n, divided by 8 equals 2.5, what is n: n = 20

B) The sum of a number, n, and 6.05 is 12.4. What is n: n = 6.35

C) Stacy is one-fourth as old as her mother. If Stacy's mother is

36, how old is Stacy: 9 years

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

A) If a number, n, divided by 8 equals 2.5, what is n?

n / 8 = 2.5

n = 8 x 2.5 = 20

B) The sum of a number, n, and 6.05 is 12.4. What is n?

n + 6.05 = 12.4

n = 12.4 - 6.05 = 6.35

C) Stacy is one-fourth as old as her mother. If Stacy's mother is

36, how old is Stacy?

(1 / 4) M $_{age}$ = S $_{age}$

S $_{age}$ = ( 36 / 4)

S $_{age}$ = 9 years

Therfore the answers are n = 20 ,n = 6.35, S $_{age}$ = 9 years
