Answer:

x = 7.2

y = 10

z = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABCD ~ JKLM, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal. Thus:

JK/AB = KL/BC = LM/CD = JM/AD

Substitute

12/x = y/6 = 15/9 = 10/z

✔️Find x:

12/x = 15/9

12/x = 5/3

Cross multiply

x*5 = 3*12

5x = 36

x = 36/5

x = 7.2

✔️Find y:

y/6 = 15/9

y/6 = 5/3

Cross multiply

y*3 = 5*6

3y = 30

y = 30/3

y = 10

✔️Find z:

15/9 = 10/z

5/3 = 10/z

Cross multiply

5*z = 10*3

5z = 30

z = 30/5

z = 6

Answer:

n/4-6

Step-by-step explanation:

n/4-6

This is the expression because we need to divide n by 4 and subtract 6

The number is 68

68 divided by 4= 17

2/3x=(-20)
X=(-20)x 3/2 ( 2/3 actually changes into 3/2(it's reciprocative form)when the number crosses the equal sign)
X=(-10) x 3
X= (-30)

Suppose you drive 22,000 miles a year and gas averages $3.45 a gallon. What would you save by driving a hybrid that averages 38

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$1,616.91

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total distance to be driven = 22,000 miles

Average of hybrid = 38 mpg

Thus,

total fuel required by hybrid to travel 22,000 miles = $\frac{22,000}{38}$

= 578.95 gallons

and,

Average of SUV = 21 mpg

total fuel required by SUV to travel 22,000 miles = $\frac{22,000}{21}$

= 1047.62 gallons

Therefore,

savings in fuel = 1047.62 gallons - 578.95 gallons = 468.67 gallons

Thus,

the savings in fuel expenses = Savings in fuel × Cost of gas

= 468.67 × 3.45

= $1,616.91

Start with the point B (-1, -4). Reflect the point through the y-axis. What are the new coordinates of the point B’? Now reflect

Anton [14]

B reflected over the y axis would be B1(-1, 4) and B reflected over the x-axis B(1, -4). The point being reflected will always have the same distance from the axes, but depending on what quadrant the point is in, it will either be a positive or negative number.
