To set up your system of equations is to have 2 equations. They both would have 1 similar variable. For example, Jenny is 5 more her brother's age. She is also 2 more than twice her brother's age. You would set this up as Y, which is Jenny, and X, her brother. Y = 5 + x and Y = 2x + 2. Make sure you put Y in the same spot in both equations. Then take the other half of the equations and simplify them. 5 + x = 2x + 2. Subtract x from both sides to get 5 = x + 2. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3 = x. Now replace the X from both equations to get Y = 5+3, and Y = 2(3) + 2. You will see both add up to 8, which is how old Jenny is in this example. Hope this helped!
Problem 2
Plot point L anywhere that isn't on segment JK. Draw a line through point L. I find it helps to make the lines parallel.
Next, use a compass to measure the width of segment JK. Keeping this same width, transfer the nonpencil end of the compass to point L. Draw an arc that crosses the line through L.
Mark this intersection point M. Lastly, use a pen or marker to form segment LM and erase everything else of that line.
======================================================
Problem 3
The ideas of the previous problem will be used here. We copied segment JK to form congruent segment LM. So JK = LM.
The same steps will be used to form segment GN where GN = EF. In other words, segment GN is a perfect copy of segment EF.
If you repeat these steps again, you'll get another segment of the same length. This segment goes from point N to point H. So NH = GN = EF
Then we can say,
GH = GN + NH
GH = EF + EF
GH = 2*EF
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the horizontal distance is x
<u>Use tangent to solve this:</u>
- tan 30° = 6/x
- x = 6 / tan 30°
- x = 10.4 mi (rounded)
For this case we must find the product of two mixed numbers:
So, we have:
If we go to a mixed number we have:
Answer:
Answer:
$516
Step-by-step explanation:
first you multiply 12 and 25 and you get 300
then you multiply 12 and 18 and you get 216
Then finally you add 216 and 300 together to get $516
