Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment of a trapezoid is the line parallel to the parallel sides of the trapezoid, which connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.

The length of the midsegment of the trapezoid is half the sum of the length of the parallel sides.

i.e,

Length of the midsegment = (1/2) *(Length of base1 + Length of base2)

6x - 24 = (1/2) * (5 + 2x + 7)

12x - 48 = 2x + 12

10x = 60

x=6

∴ x = 6

Answer this question pls!! (Will give Brainliest)
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

D. y = 12.5x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the values provided in the table, the only equation that would be valid would be the following...

y = 12.5x + 15

That is because if we substitute any value provided in the table for x , this equation will correctly output the y value shown in the table for the attached x-value. For example, in the table 5 nights (x = 5) should have a total cost of 77.5 (y = 77.5)... Therefore, if we substitute 5 for x in the function it should give  us 77.5 which it does.

y = 12.5(5) + 15

y = 62.5 + 15

y = 77.5

A football team won 8 more games than they lost. They played 24 games in the season. How many games were won and how many were l
Vaselesa [24]

The team lost n games.

The team won 8 more games than it lost, so it won n + 8.

The total number of games the team played was n + n + 8, or 2n + 8.

The team played a total of 24 games, so

2n + 8 = 24

We now solve for n.

2n + 8 = 24

2n = 16

n = 8 (lost games)

n + 8 = 8 + 8 = 16 (won games)

Answer: The team won 16 games and lost 8 games.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

8 1/2 hrs/wk

Step-by-step explanation:

3(1 1/2 hrs) plus

2(1 1/4 hrs) plus

2(3/4 hr)

The LCD here is 4.  Convert 3(1 1/2 hrs) to 3(1 2/4 hrs), so that we now have:

3(1 2/4 hrs)  = 3 6/4 hrs

+2(1 1/4 hrs)  =  2 2/4 hrs

+2(3/4 hrs)   =       6/4 hrs

-------------------------------------

                          5 14/4 hrs, or

                          5 + 3 2/4 hrs, or

                              8 1/2 hours/week
