Answer:

x = 8
AM = BM = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Your problem setup is correct. The triangle is isosceles, so the marked segments are the same length.

3x - 8 = 2x

You can solve this by subtracting 2x (from both sides) ...

x - 8 = 0

Then adding 8 (to both sides):

x = 8

MB = MA = 2x = 16.

The multiplication inverse of -3 is?

Murrr4er [49]

-1/3

An example that goes through step by step is below:

The Multiplicative Inverse Property. What number can we multiply to 8 to get 1 (the multiplicative identity) as the answer? So, the multiplicative inverse of 8 is 1/8!

Hope that helps!

Each leg of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures<br> 14 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

4vir4ik [10]

For a 45-45-90 angle the hypotenuse is s * square root of 2

so the hypotenuse is 14 * square root of 2 or 19.8

(Geometry) The answers are x = 15 and y = 9 but I don't know how. Help me understand this

Check the picture below.

$\bf \stackrel{\measuredangle DAC}{4y+2x}~~=~~\stackrel{\measuredangle BCA}{9y-x}\implies 2x=5y-x\implies 3x=5y\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{5y}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\measuredangle DAB}{[(4y+2x)+35]}~~+~~\stackrel{\measuredangle ADC}{5x+4}~~=~~180\implies 4y+2x+5x+39 = 180 \\\\\\ 4y+7x+39=180\implies 4y+7x=141\implies \stackrel{\textit{substituting "x"}}{4y+7\left( \boxed{\cfrac{5y}{3}} \right)} = 141$

$\bf 4y+\cfrac{35y}{3}=141\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3\left( 4y+\cfrac{35y}{3} \right)=3(141)}\implies 12y+35y=423 \\\\\\ 47y=423\implies y=\cfrac{423}{47}\implies \blacktriangleright y = 9 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{x=\cfrac{5y}{3}}\implies x = \cfrac{5(9)}{3}\implies \blacktriangleright x = 15 \blacktriangleleft$
