Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AC=AB+BC

so 16=x+1+x+7

which simplifies to 16=2x+8

subtract eight from both sides to get 8=2x

then divide by 2 to get that x=4

AB=x+1, which substitutes into 4+1=5

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to x=6y-5 and that passes through (5,-3). express answer in standard form

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Final answer is $x-6y=23$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation of the line that is parallel to x=6y-5 and that passes through (5,-3).

So first we need to find the slope of given line.

rewirite x=6y-5 in y=mx+b form

x+5=6y

$\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{5}{6}=y$

Compare given equation with y=mx+b

we get: m=1/6

We know that parallel equations has equal slope.

Then slope of required line m=1/6

Now plug the given point (5,-3) and slope m=1/6 into point slope formula:

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y-(-3)=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-5\right)$

$y+3=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{5}{6}$

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{5}{6}-3$

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{23}{6}$

Now we need to rewrite that equation in standard form. Ax+By=C.

6y=x-23

x-23=6y

x-6y=23

Hence final answer is $x-6y=23$

What is the value of y?

Slav-nsk [51]

In a triangle all of the angles always add up to 180, so let's set up an equation.

79 + 37 + y = 180
Simplify
116 + y = 180
Subtract 116 from both sides.
y = 64

The value of y is 64.

Hopefully this helps! If you have any more questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP. :)

The plans for a shed call for a rectangular floor with a perimeter of 204 ft. The length is two times the width. Find the length

Harlamova29_29 [7]

A-length
b-width
perimeter of rectangular floor: 2a+2b=204
<span>The length is two times the width: a=2b
</span>2a + 2b = 204
2*2b + 2b = 204
6b = 204|:6
b = 34
a=2b=2*34=68

a=68->length
b=34->width
