Problem 44
The term "bisect" means "cut in half".
Since BD bisects angle ABC, this means the smaller angles ABD and DBC are congruent.
angle ABD = angle DBC
x+15 = 4x-45
15+45 = 4x-x
60 = 3x
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20
<h3>Answer: x = 20</h3>
========================================================
Problem 45
We use the same idea as the previous problem
angle ABD = angle DBC
2x+35 = 5x-22
35+22 = 5x-2x
57 = 3x
3x = 57
x = 57/3
x = 19
<h3>Answer: x = 19</h3>
Answer:
160 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this, we need to realize that the mile is being divided into 33 equal parts. Therefore our operation should look like this:
5,280 (the number of feet in 1 mile) / 33
5,280/33=160
The posts are 160 feet apart from each other.
HTH :)
Make all a and constant number in different side
10-7=16z-7z+2z
3=11z
z=3/11
<span>1st train DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt = 50x miles
2nd train DATA:
rate = 55 mph ; time = (x-(1/2)) hrs ; distance = rt = 55(x-(1/2)) miles
Equation:
distance = distance
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)
Hope this helps!</span>
