Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the line from A is an angle bisector the following ratios are equal
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
8(2x + 1) = 12(x + 4) ← distribute both sides )
16x + 8 = 12x + 48 ( subtract 12x from both sides )
4x + 8 = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
4x = 40 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 10

Answer:
The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that there is a strong, negative, linear relationship between x and y. where, x is the number of consecutive hours a worker has been assembling chainsaws and y is the number of chainsaws he can produce in an hour.
He finds that 70%of the variation in chainsaws produced per hour can be explained by the regression of y on x.
The slope is -0.7, therefore option B is correct.
Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.
35:28
10:8
Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.
Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c
In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:
Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
