Answer:

$p=-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the linear equation;

$7p=-63$

We divide both sides of the given linear equation by 7 to obtain;

$\frac{7p}{7}=\frac{-63}{7}$

This implies that;

$p=\frac{-63}{7}$

$p=\frac{-9\times7}{7}$

We now cancel out the common factors to get:

$p=-9$

Find the measure of the missing angles.<br> 62°<br> b\co

tiny-mole [99]

The measures of angles B and C are 118° and 62°, respectively.

<h3>What are the measures of two missing angles generated by the intersection of two lines?</h3>

A system of three angles is generated by two lines intersecting each other. In accordance with Euclidean geometry, angle C is opposite to the angle with measure 62° and angle B is supplementary to the same angle.

When two angles are opposite, then both have the same measure, and when two angles are supplementary, then the sum of their measures equals 180°. Therefore, the measures of angles B and C are 118° and 62°, respectively.

The larger of two numbers is twice the smaller increased by five. Find the two numbers if three times the larger exceeds double

melomori [17]

Answer:

Larger number is 13 and Smaller number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be x.

Also let the smaller number be y.

We need to find the two numbers.

Given:

The larger of two numbers is twice the smaller increased by five.

framing in equation form we get;

$x=2y+5$ ⇒equation 1

Also Given:

Three times the larger exceeds double the smaller by 31

$3x=2y+31$ ⇒equation 2

Now Substituting the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2 we get;

$3(2y+5) = 2y+31$

Now Using Distributive property we get;

$6y+15 = 2y +31$

Combining the like terms we get;

$6y-2y = 31-15$

Now Using Subtraction property we get;

$4y =16$

Now Using Division property we get;

$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{16}{4}\\\\y =4$

Now Substituting value of y in equation 1 we will find the value of x.

$x=2y+5\\\\x = 2\times4+5\\\\x=8+5\\\\x=13$

Hence Larger number is 13 and Smaller number is 4.

Point M is the midpoint of segment AB.<br> AM=3x+40 and MB=x^2. Find x and AB

Nina [5.8K]

$\text{Hello there! :)}$

$x = 8\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}$

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

$\text{Since Point M is the midpoint of AB, then:}\\\\AM = MB\\\\$

$\text{Set the two equations equal to each other:}\\\\3x + 40 = x^{2} \\\\$

$\text{Move all terms over to one side to simplify more easily:}\\\\0 = x^{2} - 3x - 40$

$\text{Factor by finding numbers that sum up to -3 and multiply into -40:}\\\\0 = (x - 8)(x + 5)\\\\x = -5, 8$

$\text{The length of a segment cannot be negative, so choose the positive solution:}\\\\x = 8$

$\text{Substitute in this value of x into either AM or MB to solve for AB:}$

$AB = 2(MB)\\\\AB = 2(x^{2} )\\\\AB = 2(8^{2})\\ \\AB = 2(64)\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}$
