Answer:
23. x = 4; DE = 44
24. x = 25; DS = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
23. Point S is the midpoint of DE, so ...
DS = SE
3x +10 = 6x -2
12 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 2-3x
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Then DS has length ...
DS = 3x +10 = 12 +10 = 22
and DE is twice that length, so ...
DE = 44
__
24. DS is half the length of DE, so is ...
DS = DE/2 = 56/2
DS = 28
Then x can be found from ...
DS = x +3
28 -3 = x = 25 . . . . . substitute value for DS

<em>Comment on problem 24</em>
Sometimes it is easier to work parts of a problem out of sequence. Here, finding DS first makes finding x easier.
Answer: 2/5
Step-by-step explanation: Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
The, multiply the numerators and denominators and get 12/30, then simply by 6 and get 2/5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first solve for y=mx+ b format
y-3= 1/2(x+2)
y-3= 1/2x+1
y= 1/2x+4
slope is 1/2; y-intercept is 4
I think you mean,
You can use the usual formula,
That in this case is,
Where I have used,
