Answer:

LM = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given:

L is the midpoint of NM

NL = 3x + 1

LM = 8x - 24

LM =?

Next, we shall determine the value of x.

This can be obtained as follow:

Since L is the midpoint of NM, it means that NL and LM are equal i.e

NL = LM

Thus, we can obtain the value of x as follow:

NL = 3x + 1

LM = 8x - 24

NL = LM

3x + 1 = 8x - 24

Collect like terms

3x - 8x = - 24 - 1

-5x = - 25

Divide both side by - 5

x = -25/-5

x = 5

Finally, we shall determine the length of LM as follow:

LM = 8x - 24

x = 5

LM = 8(5) - 24

LM = 40 - 24

LM = 16

Therefore, the length of LM is 16

If the triangle are similar, write a similarity
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The triangles are similar due to AAA

Step-by-step explanation:

'The triangles ABC and DBE are similar because they have a common angle < B, and also angle < E is marked as congruent to angle < A. Then the third angle <C is going to be congruent to angle D as well due to the property of addition of internal angles of a triangle must add to 180 degrees.

Then the triangles are similar due to AAA

I round to 900 I have twice as many hundreds as ones and all my digits are different but their sums are 18 can someone answer th
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The number of once is 9.1  

The number of hundreds is 8.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total of digits having ones and hundreds = 900

The sum of digits = 18

Let The number of ones digit = O

And The number of hundreds digit = H

So, According to question

H + O = 18             .........1

100 × H + 1 × O = 900          ........2

Solving the equation

( 100 × H - H ) + ( O - O ) = 900 - 18

Or, 99 H + 0 = 882

Or , 99 H = 882

∴   H = \frac{882}{99}

I.e H = 8.9

Put the value of H in eq 1

So, O = 18 - H

I.e  O = 18 - 8.9

∴    O = 9.1

So, number of once = 9.1

number of hundreds = 8.9

Hence The number of once is 9.1  and The number of hundreds is 8.9

Write 0.00000000018 in a scientific notation
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1.8*10^{-10}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number in scientific notation you want to find how many times you have to move the decimal to get the decimal to be right after the first non-zero number. If you move to the left the exponent is positive and if you move it to the right the exponent is negative. The answer would be 1.8*10^{-10}.
