Answer:

Result:

The value of x = 12

The value of y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The parallelogram DEFG

DE = 6x-12

FG = 2x+36

EF = 4y

DG = 6y-42

We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

As DE and FG are opposite sides, so

DE = FG

substituting DE = 6x-12 and FG = 2x+36 in the equation

6x-12 = 2x+36

6x-2x = 36+12

simplifying

4x = 48

dividing both sides by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Therefore,

The value of x = 12

Also, EF and DG are opposite sides, so

EF = DG

substituting EF = 4y and DG = 6y-42 in the equation

4y = 6y-42

switching sides

6y-42 = 4y

6y-4y = 42

2y = 42

dividing both sides by 2

2y/2 = 42/2

y = 21

Therefore,

The value of y = 21

Result:

The value of x = 12

The value of y = 21

The answer is “x”. “x” represents the missing number in the problem.

Example:
16+x=20
The missing number, 4, would be represented as x. Hope this helps!

Yuto and Riko went for a bike ride on the same path. When Riko left their house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path. If Yuto’s a

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When Riko left his house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path.

Average speed of Riko = 0.35 miles per minute

Average speed of Yuto = 0.25 miles per minute

First we will calculate the time in which Riko will catch Yuto on the track.

Relative velocity of Riko as compared to Yuto will be = velocity of Riko - velocity of Yuto

= 0.35 - 0.25

= 0.10 miles per minute

Now we this relative velocity tells that Riko is moving and Yuto is in static position.

By the formula,

Average speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

0.10 = $\frac{5.25}{t}$

t = $\frac{5.25}{0.1}$

t = 52.5 minutes

Now we know that Rico will catch Yuto in 52.5 minutes. Before this time he will be behind Yuto.

So duration of time in which Rico is behind Yuto will be 0 ≤ t ≤ 52.5

Here time can not be less than zero because time can not be with negative notation. It will always start from 0.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (5,12) and (9,7)

omeli [17]

The slope will be the difference between the y-coordinates divided by the difference between the x-coordinates:

then the slope of the line is:

$m=\frac{12-7}{5-9}=\frac{5}{-4}=-\frac{5}{4}$
