#7) M is the Midpoint of JK. Since there is no segment through M, then there is no segment bisector.

JM = 7x + 5, MK = 8x (Given)

JM ≡ MK (definition of midpoint)

JM = MK (definition of congruency)

7x + 5 = 8x (substitution)

5 = x (subtraction property of equality)

JM = 7x + 5 → JM = 7(5) + 5 → JM = 35 + 5 → JM = 40

#8) M is the Midpoint of JK. the line passing through M is line l, so line l is the segment bisector.

JM = 3x + 15, MK = 8x + 25 (Given)

JM ≡ MK (definition of midpoint)

JM = MK (definition of congruency)

3x + 15 = 8x + 25 (substitution)

15 = 5x + 25 (subtraction property of equality - subtracted 3x)

-10 = 5x (subtraction property of equality - subtracted 25)

-2 = x (division property of equality)

JM = 3x + 15 → JM = 3(-2) + 15 → JM = -6 + 15 → JM = 9

Answer:

1. (0, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x = 0 then work out the values of y:0

y = 3^0 = 1 y-intercept is (0,1)

y = 0,25^x , y = 0.25^0 = 1

All the others are done in same way

Sara has $50 in her wallet in $5 and $20 bills. Create a linear equation (with

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

0 $20 bills and 10 $5 bills

1 $20 bills and 6 $5 bills

2 $20 bills and 2 $5 bills

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

Let's set:

x=number of $5 bills

y=number of $20 bills

The total amount Sara has is given by

5x+20y

And we know it's equal to $50, thus:

5x+20y=50

Dividing by 5

x+4y=10

We would need another condition to solve for x and y, but we can determine some combinations that solve the problem.

Solving for x:

x=10-4y

Since both x and y are integers and cannot be negative:

10-4y≥0

Swapping sides:

4y≤10

Dividing by 4:

y≤2.5

Thus, y can only have the values {0,1,2}

For y=0

x=10-4*0=10

x=10

For y=1

x=10-4*1=6

x=6

For y=2

x=10-4*2=2

x=2

Thus, the possible combinations are:

0 $20 bills and 10 $5 bills

1 $20 bills and 6 $5 bills

2 $20 bills and 2 $5 bills
