Answer:

The numerical length of RS is 22 units

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Point S is on the line segment RT

→ <em>That means S divide RT into two parts RS and ST</em>

∴ RS + ST = RT

∵ RS = 4x - 10

∵ ST = 2x - 10

∵ RT = 4x - 4

→ <em>Substitute them in the statement above</em>

∴ 4x - 10 + 2x - 10 = 4x - 4

→ <em>Add the like terms in the left side</em>

∴ (4x + 2x) + (-10 + -10) = 4x - 4

∴ 6x + (-20) = 4x - 4

∴ 6x - 20 = 4x - 4

→ <em>Add 20 to both sides</em>

∴ 6x -20 + 20 = 4x - 4 + 20

∴ 6x = 4x + 16

→ <em>Subtract 4x from both sides</em>

∴ 6x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 16

∴ 2x = 16

→ <em>Divide both sides by 2 to find x</em>

∴ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16}{2}

∴ x = 8

→ <em>Substitute the value of x in Rs to find its length</em>

∵ RS = 4(8) - 10

∴ RS = 32 - 10

∴ RS = 22 units

The numerical length of RS is 22 units

HELP PLS!!!
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

B. \frac{60 hours}{1} \times \frac{1 day}{24 hours}

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting 60 hours to days:

24 hours = 1 day

60 hours = x day

Cross multiply

24 hours \times x = 60 hours \times 1 day

Divide both sides by 24 hours

x = \frac{60 hours \times 1 day}{24 hours}

Thus,

\frac{60 hours \times 1 day}{24 hours} = \frac{60 hours}{1} \times \frac{1 day}{24 hours}

The expression that shows how to convert 60 hours to days is:

\frac{60 hours}{1} \times \frac{1 day}{24 hours}

Tatami mats are used as a floor covering in Japan. one possible layout uses four identical rectangular mats and one square mat.
Basile [38]
So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of<span> the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 </span>× x × y<span>
This can be written as 2x </span>× y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.<span>
