Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If X is the centroid that means that EC is a median along with the other lines that intersect inside the triangle. Medians drawn from a triangle have a special rule; this rule is that all medians have a 2:1 ratio between the different sections of one median. For example, EC is one median with the two sections XC and EX. Therefore XC and EX have a 2:1, with the 2 representing the longer section closest to the vertex. This means that XC is double EX, so to find XC simply double EX measurement, which is 8. So XC must equal 16.

Solve to find x 3/4 (5x-3) + 8 = 17

Talja [164]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 (5x -3)+8=17

3/4 (5x -3) = 17 - 8 = 9

(5x -3) = 9 * (4/3)= 36/3 = 12

5x = 12 + 3 = 15

x = 3

When3/11 is written as a decimal, how many digits are in the smallest sequence of repeating digits?

Andrei [34K]

Two, 2 and 7, because 3/11 just equals 0.2727272727..., so the two and seven keep repeating

The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 19, z has the value 0.10526315789474. What is the value of z when x= 28

telo118 [61]

When two variables are inversely proportional the relation between them can be written as:

$z=\frac{k}{x}$

Here, k is the constant of proportionality and is always equal to the product of the two variables. So using the given values of z and x, we can find k first.

$k=zx\\ \\ k=0.10526315789474(19)\\ \\ k=2$
