Simplify 3x -2x -2x = 3x + -2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 3x + -2x + -2x = (3x + -2x +-2x) = -x
answer is: -x

Use the number line below to find a fraction that is equivalent to 1/2

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an infinite number of fractions equal to 1/2, but the number line in the question has 8 spaces, and shows 1 divided into 8 pieces. Therefore, the answer to this question is likely 4/8.

(may I ask why exactly this is put as a college level problem?)

I need help with 5-11

Damm [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

in an equilateral triangle all 3 sides are equally long. but that also means that all 3 angles are equal. and as the sum of all angles in a triangle has to be 180°, that means that each of the 3 Angie's is 180/3 = 60°.

so, KML = 60°.

HMK = 50°, KML = 60°.

all angles around M on one side of the line LG must have 180° in total too.

so,

HMG = 180 - 50 - 60 = 70°

since GHM is isoceles (GH and MH are equal), it means also that the angles at M and at G must be equal.

HMG = 70°

therefore, HGM = 70°

again, the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180°, so

GHM = 180 - 70 - 70 = 40°.

again, in an isoceles triangle also the 2 "bottom" angles are equal. and together with the 180 sum rule we get

MHJ = (180 - 145)/2 = 35/2 = 17.5°.

if now the angle at G is 67°, then again, the angle at M must be equal (67°). and then again based on the 180 rule we get

GHM = 180 - 67 - 67 = 46°.

10.

since the 2 angles "at the bottom" are equal, it means ADE is an isoceles triangle.

since BC is parallel to DE, it means that ADE and ABC are similar triangles. and that means the corresponding angles are the same. and that means that the angles 3 and 4 are equal, and therefore ABC is an isoceles triangle. and that means that both legs AB and AC are equal.

11.

again, in an isoceles triangle the 2 base angles are equal. and together with the usual 180 rule that means

base angle = (180 - 18)/2 = 162/2 = 81°.

80 points! Look at pic attached. I will mark brainiest if you explain your reasoning good. Random answers will be reported.

gregori [183]

Answer: No, your friend is not correct. You cannot use a similarity transformation to turn a square into a rectangle. Here's why:

1) If you used a similarity transformation, the size and position of the shape would change, but the shape itself remains the same.

2) Squares and rectangles are NOT similar.* Referring to the first point I listed, if the shapes are not similar, then a similarity transformation cannot be used to turn one shape into another.

<em>*Similar means that the edges are proportional to one another, such as a square with sides of 4 meters vs a square with sides of 2 meters: the sides are different lengths, but the shape is the same.</em>

I hope this helps! Please feel free to comment below if you need any clarification. Have a good day, and good luck on your assignment. :)

Solve the following equation using the distributive property and language translation. 2(x+6)=10 ( 8th grade math )

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

X=-1

Step-by-step explanation:first you distribute 2 to x and 6 which equals 2x+12=10 then you subtract 12 from 10 which equals 2x=-2 then divide -2 by 2x to see what x equals so x=-1
