Answer:

(x/2) - 5 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

(x/2) - 5 = 12

=> x/2 = 12+5

=> x/2 = 17

=> x = 17 * 2

=> x = 34

check:

(34/2) - 5 = 17 -5 = 12 ✔

Hope this helps! :3

GEOMETRY PROOFS!

yarga [219]

From the given figure ,

RECA is a quadrilateral

RC divides it into two parts

From the triangles , ∆REC and ∆RAC

RE = RA (Given)

angle CRE = angle CRA (Given)

RC = RC (Common side)

Therefore, ∆REC is Congruent to ∆RAC

∆REC =~ ∆RAC by SAS Property

⇛CE = CA (Congruent parts in a congruent triangles)

Hence , Proved

Additional comment:-

SAS property:-

"The two sides and included angle of one triangle are equal to the two sides and included angle then the two triangles are Congruent and this property is called SAS Property (Side -Angle-Side)

Find an equation of a line that goes through the points (1,6) and (4, -2). Write your answer in the form y=mx + y.

zmey [24]

Answer:

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (1,6) to (4, -2) involves an increase of 3 in x and a decrease of 8 in y. Thus, the slope of the line thru these two points is m = rise / run = -8/3.

Using the slope-intercept form of the eq'n of a straight line and inserting the data given (slope = m = -8/3, x = 4, y = -2), we get:

y = mx + b => -2 = (-8/3)(4) + b, or -2 = -32/3 + b

Multiply all terms by 3 to clear out the fraction:

-6 = -32 + 3b.

Then 26 = 3b, and b = 26/3.

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.
