Find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = \sqrt{87}

Step-by-step explanation:

if you draw a perpendicular segment from the vertex between sides 5 and 16 to the opposite side then you have a right triangle and can use the Pythagorean Theorem,  a² + b² = c²

a = x

b = 13 (you get this from 18 - 5)

c = 16

x² + 13² = 16²

x² + 169 = 256

x² = 87

x = √87

To make punch for the class party, Mrs.Lui mixed 1 and 1/3 cups orange juice, 3/4 cup apple juice, 2/3 cup cranberry juice, and
andrew11 [14]

Answer: 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: First you have to convert the fractions so that they all have the same denominator. Using 12 will be the easiest. 1 and 1/3 equals 16/12 because 1/3 equals 4/12 and 1 equals 12/12. 3/4 equals 9/12. 2/3 equals 8/12. And 3/4 equals 9/12 again. 16/12 plus 9/12 plus 8/12 plus 9/12 equals 42/12. 42/12 in the simplest form would be 3 and 1/2, because 42 divided by 12 is 3.5.

What is the solution to this system of linear equations? 2x + y = 1 3x – y = –6
jenyasd209 [6]
2x + y = 1 . . . (1)
3x - y = -6 . . . (2)

(1) + (2) => 5x = -5 => x = -5/5 = -1

From (1), 2x - 1 = 1 => 2x = 1 + 1 = 2 => x = 2/2 = 1

x = 1, y = -1
