Answer:

BZ = 64/23 = 2 18/23

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisectors divide the triangle into proportional parts, so we have ...

CB/CY = AB/AY

CB = CY(AB/AY) = 4(8/6) = 16/3 . . . . multiply by CY and evaluate

and ...

BZ/CB = AZ/AC

BZ = AZ(CB/AC) . . . . multiply by CB

But we have ...

AZ = 8 -BZ, so this becomes ...

BZ = (8 -BZ)(16/3)/(10)

BZ(1 +8/15) = 64/15 . . . . add the BZ term on the right to both sides

BZ = (64/15)(15/23) = 64/23 . . . . divide by the coefficient of BZ

BZ = 64/23 = 2 18/23

7+4(r+3)=9r-6 show work pls AND HELP ASAP

ivanzaharov [21]

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$

$= \: \: \: \: r = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7 + 4(r + 3) = 9r - 6$

distribute 4 through the parentheses

$7 + 4r + 12 = 9r - 6$

add numbers

$19 + 4r = 9r - 6$

move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign

$19 + 9r = - 6$

move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign

$4r - 9 = - 6 - 19$

collect like terms

 $- 5r = - 6 - 19$ 

calculate the difference

$- 5r = - 25$

divide both sides of the equation by -5

 $= \: \: \: \: r = 5$

If 3 times a number minus 2 equals 13, what is the number? A. 5 B. 2 C. –6 D. 4

Ivenika [448]

3x - 2 = 13

Add 2 on both sides

3x - 2 + 2 = 13 + 2
3x = 13 + 2
3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 15/3

x = 5

Your final answer is A. 5.
