Answer:

$x = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$WX = x + 5$

$XY = 3x - 13,$

Required

Find x

To do this, I will assume $WX = XY$ .

So, we have:

$x + 5 = 3x - 13$

Collect Like Terms

$x - 3x = -5 - 13$

$-2x = -18$

Divide by -2

$x = 9$

A triangle has vertices at L(2, 2), M(4,4), and N(1,6). The

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The rule for the transformation is (x, y) + (-X, -Y)

The coordinates of L'are (-2,-2).

The coordinates of N' are (-1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

90 degree rotation from (x,y) results in (-x, y) and 180 degree results in (-x,-y)

The coordinates will change accordingly

L(2,2) will become L'(-2,-2)

M(4,4) will become M'(-4,-4)

and

N(1,6) will become N'(-1,-6)

So the correct statements are:

The rule for the transformation is (x, y) + (-X, -Y)

The coordinates of L'are (-2,-2).

The coordinates of N' are (-1,-6) ..

The height of a stack of 12 pennies is 18.24 millimeters. What is the thickness of each penny.

Helga [31]

I’m not great at math so I could easily be wrong, but

I divided the 18.24 millimeters by 12 pennies and got 1.52

So if the pennies are all the same size, each penny should 1.52 millimeters.

To show work:

18.24/12=1.52
