BD = 2x-4

But it's also BE - CE + CD

BE is 3x-1

CE is 2x-3

CD is 2

BD = 3x-1 -(2x-3) +2

simplified

BD = 1x +4

since BD = BD (obviously), we can also say that the righthand sides of the two equation must be equal

2x -4 = 1x +4

let's solve for x and that put it into either of the 2 equations.

2x -4 = 1x +4

subtract 1x on both sides

x -4 = 4

add 4 on both sides

x = 8

substitute x for its value in 2x -4 = 1x +4

(this way we double check BD in two expressions at once. the equation should come out true, meaning same value for BD in each expression. both sides should be equal).

2*8 -4 = 1*8 +4

12 = 12

seems true

BD is safely 12

A sample of 100 wood and 100 graphite tennis rackets are taken from the warehouse. if 13 wood and 10 graphite are defective and

Nimfa-mama [501]

Let's split the problem in non-intersecting subsets: we have $87$ good wood racquets, $13$ defective wood rackets, $90$ good graphite racquets, $10$ defective graphite rackets.

The probability that the racket is wood or defective covers the following subsets: good wood, defective wood and defective graphite, which have, respectively, $87$ , $13$ and $10$ elements.

Since the total is $200$ elements, the probability is

$\frac{87+13+10}{200} = \frac{110}{200} = 0.55$

Nathan hit 19 homeruns. He scored 3 fewer homeruns than twice the number of homeruns hit by jason. Write and solve an equation t

Vinvika [58]

Jason hit 11 homeruns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeruns hit by Nathan = 19

Let,

Homeruns hit by Nathan = x

Homerun hit by Jason = y

According to given statement;

x = 2y - 3 Eqn 1

We know that Nathan hit 19 homeruns, therefore, putting x=19 in Eqn 1

$19=2y-3\\19+3=2y\\22=2y\\2y=22$

Dividing both sides by 2;

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{22}{2}\\y=11$

Jason hit 11 homeruns.

A salt water solution is cooled to -3C. During an experiment , the mixture is heated so that its, temperature rises at steady ra

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

$y = -3+ rx$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Base = -3C$

$Time = x$

Required

Determine the equation (y)

Let the steady rate be represented with r.

So, the equation (y) can be determined using:

$y = Base + Rate * Time$

$y = -3+ r* x$

$y = -3+ rx$

Use the given endpoint R and the midpoint M of segment RS to find the coordinates of the other endpoint S. (Hint: Use the midpoi

zimovet [89]

Using the given endpoint R (8,0)and the midpoint M (4,-5) , the other endpoint S is (0,-10)

Explanation :

Use the given endpoint R and the midpoint M of segment RS

R (8, 0 ) and M (4, -5 )

Let 'S' be (x2,y2)

Apply the midpoint formula

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\$

Endpoint R is (x1,y1) that is (8,0)

Substitute the values and make it equal to M(4,-5)

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\\\(\frac{8+x_2}{2},\frac{0+y_2}{2} )=(4,-5)\\\\\frac{8+x_2}{2}=4\\8+x_2=8\\x_2=8-8=0\\x_2=0\\\\\\\frac{0+y_2}{2} =-5\\y_2=-10$

So other endpoint S is (0,-10)
