Answer:

AD= 15

AB=30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Point D bisect the line segment AB

Hence AD = DB

AD= 4x-1

BD=9x-21

Hence

4x-1=9x-21

adding 21 on both sides and subtracting 4x from both sides

4x-4x-1+21=9x-4x-21+21

-1+21=5x

5x=20

dividing both sides by x we get

x=4

Hence

AD = 4x-1

= 4(4)-1= 16-1=15

AD= 15

AB = 2 x AD

= 2 x 15

= 30

Find the value of X in the Isosceles triangle shown below

mylen [45]

Answer: 13.

Look at the height and the x. The measurements look very similar, and since the height= 12, 13 is the closest answer to 12 out of the three given answers, so 13 is the value of x.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{4}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-6)}}}\implies \cfrac{3}{3+6}\implies \cfrac{3}{9}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-6)}] \implies y-1=\cfrac{1}{3}(x+6) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{1}{3}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x+3$

Solve each inequality 3<-5n + 2n

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: -1>n

Step-by-step explanation:1) combine like terms (-5n+2n=-3n) so you have 3<-3n then you divide -3 on both sides and because it’s a negative you flip the sign so you end up with -1>n
