If a=8 and b=5 and x=4 and y=6m -2 what is the value of m ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serga [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x = 4

y = 6m - 2

a = 8

b = 5

Required:

Value of m

SOLUTION:

x and y are segments of a chord divided when it intersects another chord that also has segments a and b.

According to the Intersecting chords theorem, a*b = x*y

Thus:

8*5 = 4*(6m - 2)

Solve for m

40 = 24m - 8

40 + 8 = 24m - 8 + 8

48 = 24m

\frac{48}{24} = \frac{24m}{24}

2 = m

The value of m = 2

Which ordered pair makes both inequalities true?
Tatiana [17]

The ordered pair which makes both inequalities true is: D. (3, 0).

<h3>How to determine ordered pair?</h3>

In Mathematics, an inequality can be used to show the relationship between two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation.

In order to determine ordered pair which makes both inequalities true, we would substitute the points into the inequalities as follows:

At (0, 0), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

0 > -2(0) + 3

0 > 3 (false).

y < x – 2

0 < 0 - 2

0 < -2 (false)

At (0, -1), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

-1 > -2(0) + 3

-1 > 3 (false).

y < x – 2

-1 < 0 - 2

-1 < -2 (false)

At (1, 1), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

1 > -2(1) + 3

1 > -1 (true).

y < x – 2

1 < 1 - 2

1 < -1 (false)

At (3, 0), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

0 > -2(3) + 3

0 > -3 (true).

y < x – 2

0 < 3 - 2

0 < 1 (true).

In 3 hours, they could bake 87 birthday cupcakes. If you divid 145 by 5 this gives you 29, and you multiply this by 3 to find how many can be made in 3 hours, which gives you 87:) hope this helps!

Kay [80]

Answer:

Rick ran 5.6 miles on Thursday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find the speed Rick ran on Wednesday.

D=RT

4.2 = (3/4)R

R = 5.6 mph.

D=RT

D=(5.6 mph)(1)

D=5.6 miles

Let me know if this helps!
