If x and y are different numbers from 1-50 what is the greatest possible value for (x+y)/(x-y)

Mathematics

Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate (x+y)/(x-y) for greatest possible value with the following constraints:

x ≠ y

1 ≤ x ≤ 50

1 ≤ y ≤ 50

To achieve greatest possible value:

Numerator should be as large as possible.

Denominator should be as small as possible without being negative.

x = 50

y = 49

= (50 + 49)/(50 - 49)

= 99/1 = 99

Triangle ABC is shown below.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

C.) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the triangle: angles b and c have the same arch, so they are congruent.

In a triangle, if two angles are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles, having two equal sides.

The sides opposite the congruent angles are congruent:

∠B → opposite side → AC

∠C → opposite side → AB

The sides AB and AC are equal. Make an equation:

AB=AC\\\\2x=3x-7

Simplify the equation, solving for x. Add 7 to both sides:

2x+7=3x-7+7\\\\2x+7=3x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

2x-2x+7=3x-2x\\\\7=x

The value of x is 7. Insert the value of x into the given length of AC:

AC=3(7)-7

Simplify multiplication:

AC=21-7

Subtract:

AC=14

Therefore, the length of the line segment AC is 14.
