Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 7/8

Discussion:

3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24 =>

3x + (3*3)(4x-5) = 15x - 24  =>

3x + 9*(4x) - (3*3)*5 = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 36x  - 45 = 15x - 24  =>   (add 24 to each side)

3x + 36x - 45 + 45 = 15x - 24 + 45 =>

39x = 15x + 21  =>                    (as 45-24 = 21)

39x-15x = 21 =>                        (subtract 15x from both sides)

24x = 21 =>

x = 21/24 = -7/8

Through: (1,5), perp. to y=-1/10x + 3<br> pls help
Sedbober [7]
First to get the equation you knew to understand one thing about perpendicular lines. The slope of the line is the opposite reciprocal of the perpendicular lines or the new slope is m = 10.

Then you use the formula
y = mx + b
you plug in your values from the point and the new slope.
(1,5) with new slope m
5= 10(1)+b
5-10=b
-5 = b
then make your new equation
y = 10x -5
that's your line that goes through point (1,5) and is perpendicular to the line given

Which statement can be used to prove that a given parallelogram is a rectangle?
RSB [31]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


The diagonals of the parallelogram are congruent.


Explanation:


In every parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent. This would not mean it is a rectangle.


Consecutive sides of a parallelogram are only congruent if the parallelogram is a rhombus or a square; this would not be a rectangle.


The diagonals of every parallelogram bisect each other. This would not mean it is a rectangle.


The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. If we know this is true about our parallelogram, this means our parallelogram is a rectangle.
