Given:

Figure of similar triangles.

To find:

The value of x and the measure of NR.

Solution:

In triangle RST and RMN,

\angle SRT\cong \angle MRN              (Vertically opposite angles)

\angle RST\cong \angle RMN              (Alternate interior angles)

\Delta RST\sim \Delta RMN                 (By AA property of similarity)

We know that, corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

\dfrac{RS}{RM}=\dfrac{RT}{RN}

\dfrac{40}{8}=\dfrac{60}{2x-2}

5=\dfrac{60}{2x-2}

2x-2=\dfrac{60}{5}

On further simplification, we get

2x=12+2

x=\dfrac{14}{2}

x=7

The value of x is 7.

Now,

NR=2x-2

NR=2(7)-2

NR=14-2

NR=12

Therefore, the value of x is 7 and the measure of NR is 12 units.

4x + y< 2
bulgar [2K]

The two inequalities can be rewritten as

\begin{cases}y-2\end{cases}

The solution is composed by every point below the graph of the line y=-4x+2, and above the horizontal line y=-2

To draw the line y=-4x+2 we can build a little table (only 2 points are required):

\begin{array}{c|c}x&y\\0&2\\1&-2\end{array}

So, if you draw the points (0,2) and (1, -2) and connect them, you'll have your line.

To draw the line y=-2, simply pick any point with y coordinate -2, for example (0, -2), and draw a horizontal line.

Choose the above/below areas as specified above to solve the system.

Jordan Pat 6 4/5 yards of pink ribbon and 3 1/4 yards of purple ribbon how much more pink ribbon the purple ribbon did she buy?
evablogger [386]
Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
