Just by looking at it, 2 seems to be the correct answer. I mean if you think about it, when the triangle is split in two smaller triangles, side LN is longer than LP so that means x needs to be a small number. I could either be 2 or 1. Well if you look at the big picture, side LM is longer than LN so it’s gonna need to be bigger. If you say x=1 then you are saying 2(1) +4 = 6 (therefore LM is 6) but if you say x=2 then you are saying 2(2) +4 = 8 which makes more sense


If x=2 then you can use the Pythagorean’s theorem

a2 + b2 = c2
4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
25-16= 9
b^2= 9
b= 3


Now that we know what NP is we can do Pythagorean’s theorem to figure out what side LP is (we already know it but you can do it again to check lol)

So the answer is 2

\bf a^{\frac{ n}{ m}} \implies  \sqrt[ m]{a^ n}  \qquad \qquad \sqrt[ m]{a^ n}\implies a^{\frac{ n}{ m}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \left( 5^{\frac{3}{4}} \right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\implies 5^{\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{2}{3}}\implies 5^{\frac{2}{4}}\implies 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\implies \sqrt[2]{5^1}\implies \sqrt{5}

At dinner, the number of quarts of water the restaurant sells is 36 fewer than twice as many as it sells at lunch. The restauran
Natasha2012 [34]
Let x be the number of quarts of water it sells at lunch

Dinner = 2x - 36

Lunch = 2x

2x + 2x - 36 = 4x - 36

4x - 36 = 144

144 - 36 = 4x

4x = 108

x = 108 divided by 4 = 27

2x = 27 x 2 = 54

The restaurant sells 54 quarts of water at lunch.

what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to line m and passes through the point (3, 2)?
iragen [17]

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 4/5

or

y = 2/5x +0.8, both mean the same thing

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular line would mean that the line has to go through line m at a 90 degree angle.

The first thing I would do is look at the slope already given to us for line m and flip it around and make the negative fraction a positive one so it goes up.

-5/2x -> 2/5x

The next would be to find where the line would intercept on the y-axis. It already told us it will go through the point (3,2). So with the slope we already have, count 5 to the left and 2 down. At this point I plotted this entire thing in a graphing calculator. Anyways the answer:

y = 2/5x + 4/5
