Answer:

-1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-9=-3(x+2)+5x (switching the sides of the formula can make it easier)

-3(x+2)+5x=-9

2x-6=-9

add 6 to both sides ---> 2x-6+6=-9+6

simplify ----> 2x=-3

divide both sides by 2 ---> 2x/2 = -3/2

simplify ---> x= -3/2

decimal form- -1.5

Find an equation of variation in which y varies directly as x and y=420 when x= 100. Then find the value of y when x=11.

sweet [91]

Let's Simplify X to equal 1 by dividing by 100. then we divide 420 by 100 to get 4.2, so y=4.2 when x=1, we then multiply by each by 11.

y = 46.2
x = 11

A 748-N man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 4.0 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of fr

Ber [7]

Answer:

The man will take 64 seconds to reach to the south shore of the frozen pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of the man = 748 N Mass of the man, $(m)= \frac{W}{g}$ = $\frac{748}{9.8}$ = $76.32$ kg

Radius of the pond $(r)$ = 4 m

Mass of the textbook = 1.2 kg

Velocity at which the textbook is thrown = 4 ms^1

We have to find the velocity of the man after the throw.

Let the velocity is $V_m$ .

Now using law of conservation of momentum we can find the $V_m$ value.

$m_(_b_)V_b_(_i_) +m_(_m_)V_m_(_i_) =m_(_b_)V_b_(_f_)+m_(_m_) V_m_(_f_)$

Considering $V_m_(_f_)=V_m$

And initial velocity of both the man and book i.e $V_b_(_i_)=0,\ V_m_(i_)=0$

So,

⇒ $0 =m_(_b_)V_b_(_f_)+m_(_m_) V_m$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $V_m=-\frac{m_(_b_)V_b_(_f_)}{m_(_m_)}$

⇒ $V_m=-\frac{1.2\times 4}{76.32}$

⇒ $V_m=-0.062$ ms^-1

Here the negative velocity is meant for opposite direction of the throw.

Numerically we will write, $V_m = 0.062$

With this velocity the man will move towards south.

We have to calculate the time taken by the man to move to its south shore.

And we know $velocity(v)\times time(t) = distance(d)$

Let the time taken be $t$ and $v\times t = d$ and $d=r$ then, $V_m\times t=r$

Then

⇒ $t=\frac{radius\ (r)}{V_m}$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $t=\frac{4}{0.062}$

⇒ $t =64$ sec

The man will take 64 seconds to reach to the south shore of the frozen pond (circular).

Why can you use Linear Pairs and Vertical Angles to prove lines are parallel?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

The reason why linear pairs and vertical angles are used to prove lines are parallel is because they area transversal drawn through the parallel lines will form angles on each of the two parallel lines including;

1) Supplementary linear pairs and

2) Vertical angles

3) Alternate angles

Given that either;

a) The corresponding angles that form the linear pairs are congruent

b) The corresponding vertically opposite angles are congruent

c) The corresponding alternate angles are congruent, we have;

The two lines are said to be parallel.
