Answer:

d 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x/7 +13/14 = 17/14

double the first one so all the denominators are the same

2x/14+13/14=17/14

then subtract the second fraction from the thrid

2x/14=4/14

then we can divide by two so we are back to 7 as the demoninator

x/7=2/7

X/7 + 13/14 = 1(3/14)

Convert the mix fraction into improper fraction:
(14 x 1) + 3 = 17 /14

X has to equal the difference between 13 and 17 which is 4

Remember since the lowest common denominator is 14 you would have to multiply x/7 by 2 on top and bottom and make sure that the x value is equal to 4

So ...

(2/7) + (13/14)

(4/14) + (13/14)

Add the number and keep the denominator the same

= 17/14 or 1(3/14)

Therefore the missing number is 2.

I hope this doesn’t sound too confusing :)

Jack and Andrea want to create a right triangle together using values of x and y and the polynomial identity to generate Pythago

leva [86]

A right triangle can be considered as a special type because the relationship of its sides can be described using the hypotenuse formula:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = x^2 + y^2

where,

c is the hypotenuse of the triangle and is the side opposite to the 90° angle

while a and b are the sides adjacent to the 90° angle

In the problem statement, we are given that one of the side has a measure of 2 = x, while the hypotenuse is 5 = c, therefore calculating for y:

y^2 = c^2 – x^2

y^2 = 5^2 – 2^2

y^2 = 21

y = 4.58

The natural number is the number before the decimal. Therefore the answer is:

y = 4

Two horses are ready to return to their barn after a long workout session at the track. the horses are at coordinates H(1,10) an

ss7ja [257]

The given information are the coordinates of points H, Z and B. So, the first step to do is to plot these points on a Cartesian plane as shown in the attached picture. We can deduce visually that horse Z is closer to the barns than horse H. But, to further justify the answer, we have to provide the magnitude of the distance of horses H and Z to barn B. In this approach, we use the distance formula:

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

Use the coordinates of the two points to know their linear distances. These are represented by the red and green lines for each of the horses.

Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = 19.4165

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse H and barn B is 19.416*100 = 1,941.65 meters

Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = 16.4012

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse Z and barn B is 16.4012*100 = 1,640.12 meters

Comparing the distances: 1,941.65 meters > 1,640.12 meters. Therefore, it justifies that horse Z is nearer to the barn.
