Answer:

8 is the length of JB

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Equations, Congruence</u>

1) We need to find out an equation to make based on the lengths that are given. ΔJMB is congruent to ΔKMB because of Side-Angle-Side:

  • JB is congruent to BK
  • Angle MBK would be a right angle, since it is supplementary to the right angle JBM. Since both are right angles they are congruent.
  • Both triangles have the side BM. Using the reflexive property, BM is congruent to itself, so there you go --> Side-Angle-Side

2) Now since both triangles are congruent, we can make the equation that the length of JM is congruent to the length of MK, using the fact that: If triangles are congruent, then corresponding parts are congruent.

3) This means that 16x -24 = 4x

Subtract 16x from both sides : -24 = -12x

Divide by -12 on both sides and get x = 2

4) Substitute x into the length of JB (16x-24)

16(2)-24 = 32-24 = 8

5) Therefore, the length of JB is 8

Grace had $51 when she browsed an on-line store, which sells a pair of green earrings for $9.00 each plus a one-time $6.00 shipp
vitfil [10]

Answer:

5 Green earrings

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount held = $51

Cost per pair of green earrings = $9

One time shipping fee = $6

How many pairs of green earrings did grace purchase?

Let the number of green earrings purchased = g

Then,

$9*g + $6 = $51

$9g + $6 = $51

$9g = $51 - $6

$9g = $45

g = $45 / $9

g = 5

Hence, the number of green earrings purchased = 5

A library building is in the shape of a rectangle. Its floor has a length of (3x + 5) meters and a width of (5x − 1) meters. The
AleksAgata [21]
The problem says that the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) <span>represents the area of the floor of the building in square meters. Therefore,  to solve this problem you have to follow the proccedure shown below.

 1. First, to simplify the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) you must apply the distributive property. Then, you obtain:

 15x</span>²-3x+25x-5

 2. Then, you have:

 15x²+22x-5

 3. As you can see, the correct answer is the last option:  15x²+22x-5

A patient with end-stage kidney disease has nine family members who are potential kidney donors. How many possible orders are th
eduard

Answer: 504

Step-by-step explanation:

When we select r things from n things in a order , we use permutations.

Formula for permutation:  ^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Given : The number of family members who are potential kidney donors. = 9

Number of people needed to be selected for best match, a second-best match, and a third-best match ( in an order)=3

Then, the number of possible orders are = ^9P_3=\dfrac{9!}{(9-3)!}

=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6!}{6!}=504

Hence, the number of possible orders 504.
