Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is really super super simple as long as you know the rules for finding a perpedicular slope from a given line. The perpendicular slope of a line is the opposite reciprocal of the given slope. Our given slope is 3/5, therefore, the perpendicular slope is -5/3. There's only one line with that exact slope, so the choice is the last one. (BTW, check the coordinate you gave. It should be

(15, -5), not (15, 5)!)

In triangle FGH, GJ is an angle bisector of ∠G and perpendicular to FH.

Citrus2011 [14]

The picture in the attached figure

we know that
If line GJ bisects the angle FGH, that means we also know that the angle FGH is divided into two equal sizes.

Now, we have
Angle FGJ = Angle HGJ
Angle GJF = Angle GJH
This information means that angle GHJ = angle GFJ

We have two congruent right-angled triangle
We can then further deduce that
Side GF = Side GH
Since triangle FGJ and triangle GJH are congruent,
then
side FJ equals to side JH
3x-8=16
3x=16+8
3x=24
x=8 units
Hence,
the length of FH = 2×8=16 units

the answer is
FH=16 units

How do you factor out the coefficient of the variable

murzikaleks [220]

Factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer. In this case, the three terms have a 3x in common, which leaves: Step 3: Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.

Compare and contrast expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions with simplifying numeric expressions. For example, compare

larisa [96]

<span>With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.</span>

A store has a 40% off sale on headphones. With this discount, the price of one pair of headphones in $36. What is the original p

Mariana [72]

Let the original price of headphone = x

there is 40% discount which is 0.40x

so the payment price will be x-0.40x = 0.60x

Given that paid amount is $36

so both will be equal

0.60x = 36

x=36/0.60

x=60

Hence final answer is $60.
