Answer:

CD = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

CD = x

BC = 5x - 5

BD = 2x + 7

Required

Determine CD

Since, C is a point on BD, the relationship between the given parameters is;

BD = BC + CD

Substitute the values of BD, BC and CD

2x + 7 = 5x - 5 + x

Collect Like Terms

2x - 5x - x = -5 - 7

-4x = -12

Divide both sides by -4

\frac{-4x}{-4} = \frac{-12}{-4}

x = 3

To determine the length of CD;

Substitute 3 for x in CD = x

Hence;

CD = 3

olga55 [171]
For a right triangle with legs legnth a and b and hyptonuse c
a^2+b^2=c^2
9 feet from base, that's one leg
wire is hypotnuse, it's 1 more than height on tree
c=b+1

so
9^2+b^2=(b+1)^2
81+b^2=b^2+2b+1
minus b^2+1 from both sides
80=2b
divide both sides by 2
40=b
c=b+1
c=40+1
c=41
legnth of wire is 41ft

The graph shows the proportions of red and blue food coloring that Taylor mixes to make the purple frosting. What is the slope o
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The slope is 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the slope of the line

We use the slope equation

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (35-70)/(25-50) = -35/-25 = 7/5

what it means is that the rate of change of the number of red drops to number of blue drops to form the purple color is in the ratio of 7 to 5

Or simply put

To form a purple color, add 7 part red to 5 parts blue drops

Ming drew the model below to represent the equation 24 + 12 = blank x (8 + 4). A model with 3 rows of 8 and 3 rows of 4. What is
Mila [183]

Given:

The equation is:

24+12=\_\_\times (8+4)

A model with 3 rows of 8 and 3 rows of 4.

To find:

The missing value in Ming's equation.

Solution:

We have,

24+12=\_\_\times (8+4)           ...(i)

A model with 3 rows of 8 and 3 rows of 4. Using this information, we get

24+12=3\times 8+3\times 4

Taking out the common factor 3, we get

24+12=3\times (8+4)               ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get the missing value is 3.

Therefore, the missing value in Ming's equation is 3.
