Answer:

RS = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Points R, S, and T are collinear, and S is between R and T, in addition, RS = 2x-4, ST = 3x+2, and RT = 13. Find the value of RS

Hence:

RS + ST = RT

2x - 4 + 3x + 2 = 13

2x + 3x - 4 + 2 = 13

5x - 2 = 13

5x = 13 + 2

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

To find the value of RS

RS = 2x-4

RS = 2 × 3 - 4

RS = 6 - 4

RS = 2

Do the ratios 4/5 and 12/20 form a proportion?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

No. They are not in proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf \dfrac{4}{5} \ \text{is in the simplest form}

\sf \text{Simplest form of $\dfrac{12}{20}$} = \dfrac{12 \div 4}{20 \div 4}=\dfrac{3}{5}

So, they are not in proportion

If you earn $48,000 per year, how much will you receive on a biweekly basis?
Harrizon [31]

$48,000 a year is $1,846.15 biweekly before taxes and approximately $1,384.62 after taxes. Paying a tax rate of around 25% and working full-time at 40 hours a week, you would earn $1,384.62 after taxes. To calculate how much you make biweekly before taxes, you would multiply $23.08 by 40 hours and 2 weeks
