Question 9
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the ray NM is the segment bisector XY
so
NM divides the segment XY into two equal parts
XM = MY
given
XM = 3x+1
MY = 8x-24
so substituting XM = 3x+1 and MY = 8x-24 in the equation
XM = MY
3x+1 = 8x-24
8x-3x = 1+24
5x = 25
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5
so the value of x = 5
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 3x+1 + 8x-24
= 11x - 23
substituting x = 5
= 11(5) - 23
= 55 - 23
= 32
Therefore,
The length of the segment = 32 units
Question 10)
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the line n is the segment bisector XY
so
The line divides the segment XY into two equal parts at M
XM = MY
given
XM = 5x+8
MY = 9x+12
so substituting XM = 5x+8 and MY = 9x+12 in the equation
XM = MY
5x+8 = 9x+12
9x-5x = 8-12
4x = -4
divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -4/4
x = -1
so the value of x = -1
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 5x+8 + 9x+12
= 14x + 20
substituting x = 1
= 14(-1) + 20
= -14+20
= 6
Therefore,
The length of the segment XY = 6 units
Answer:
7/40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve using proportions:
Find the scale factor by dividing the numerators 25 by 1/8.
25 ÷ 1/8 = 200 This is the common ratio
To get from the top left number to the top right number, you divide 25 by 200.
To get from the bottom left number to the bottom right number, you divide 35 by 200.
35 ÷ 200 = 0.175
1/8 of an inch represents 0.175 feet.
To find 0.175 in fraction form, reduce 35/200 to its lowest terms.
35/200 = 7/40
1/8 of an inch represents 7/40 feet.
Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation is 2x + 10 = 52
2x = 42
x = 21
The answer is 4.51.............
Answer:
2.4x-4.4
Step-by-step explanation:
0.3(4x-8)-0.5(-2.4x+4)
1.2x-2.4+1.2x-2
2.4x-4.4
