Answer: x= $\frac{1}{5}$ Makes It True

Explantion: step 1: simplify both sides of the equation. −5x−(−7−4x)=−2(3x−4) −5x+−1(−7−4x)=−2(3x−4)(distribute the negative sign) −5x+(−1)(−7)+−1(−4x)=−2(3x−4) −5x+7+4x=−2(3x−4) −5x+7+4x=(−2)(3x)+(−2)(−4)(distribute) −5x+7+4x=−6x+8 (−5x+4x)+(7)=−6x+8(combine like terms) −x+7=−6x+8 −x+7=−6x+8 step 2: add 6x to both sides. −x+7+6x=−6x+8+6x 5x+7=8 step 3: subtract 7 from both sides. 5x+7−7=8−7 5x=1

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 25

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles

Part B) The width of the river is about $39\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

substitute the values and solve for AB

$\frac{65}{25}=\frac{AB}{15}$

$AB=15*(\frac{65}{25})=39\ ft$

A digital scale reports a 10 kg weight as weighing 9.998 kg. Which of the following is true?

vladimir2022 [97]

A)

Accurate = close to the 'true' value, and 9.998 is close to 10. Imagine a scale that has the zero point wrong as says 8.998, it would not be accurate, but still precise (several digits known)

Precise = several digits known. I would say to know it until grams is quite a good precision (the 9.998 has 4 digits)
