Answer:

The correct option is a. The length of MN is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: MQ = 10 in, NP = 3 in and QP=24 in.

If the centers of two circles of radius r₁ and r₂ are d units apart, then the length of the direct common tangent between them is

$l=\sqrt{d^2-(r_1-r_2)^2}$

$24=\sqrt{d^2-(10-3)^2}$

Square both sides.

$576=d^2-49$

$625=d^2$

Take square root both sides.

$25=d$

Therefore length of MN is 25 and option a is correct.

Solve the inequality 2x + 8 < 5x − 4.

Jobisdone [24]

The answer should be X>4

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

2*x+8-(5*x-4)<0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors :

-3x + 12 = -3 • (x - 4)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

2.1 Divide both sides by -3

Remember to flip the inequality sign:

Solve Basic Inequality :

2.2 Add 4 to both sides

x > 4

In his free time, Gary spends 13 hours per week on the Internet and 13 hours per week playing video games. If Gary has five hour

goldenfox [79]

Gary spend 13 hours per week on the Internet and 13 hours on video games Gary has 5 hours of free time each day,
so total free time in a week=> 7*5=35 hours
Now he spends 13+13 hours on the internet and games=28 hours Percentage free time spent on games and internet

26/35 (that is a fraction) x100 =74.285714

Can u get the steps to solving -2(4)^2+4

svp [43]

(4)^2 must be done first.

That’ll give you 16. (4x4)

16 x -2= -32

-32+4= -28
