Answer:

9 times x = 9x

9 times -2 = -18

So, 9x-18 = 18

Now, we are looking for x, so we have to get rid of anything else, either added or taken away from it.

So we are going to add 18 to both sides, to get rid of the -18, and add 18 to the other side of the equals sign.

Therefore 9x = 36.

We are not done yet because we need x on its own, not 9x, so we are going to divide 36 by 9 to find out what x equals.

36 divided by 9 = 4

x = 4

Tomika heard that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other. Help her test her conjecture. Graph quadrilateral

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

a. The four sides of the quadrilateral ABCD are equal, therefore, ABCD is a rhombus

b. The equation of the diagonal line AC is y = 5 - x

The equation of the diagonal line BD is y = 5 - x

c. The diagonal lines AC and BD of the quadrilateral ABCD are perpendicular to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the given quadrilateral are;

A(1, 4), B(6, 6), C(4, 1) and D(-1, -1)

a. The length, l, of the sides of the given quadrilateral are given as follows;

$l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}$

The length of side AB, with A = (1, 4) and B = (6, 6) gives;

$l_{AB} = \sqrt{\left (6-4 \right )^{2}+\left (6-1 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{29}$

The length of side BC, with B = (6, 6) and C = (4, 1) gives;

$l_{BC} = \sqrt{\left (1-6 \right )^{2}+\left (4-6 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{29}$

The length of side CD, with C = (4, 1) and D = (-1, -1) gives;

$l_{CD} = \sqrt{\left (-1-1 \right )^{2}+\left (-1-4 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{29}$

The length of side DA, with D = (-1, -1) and A = (1,4) gives;

$l_{DA} = \sqrt{\left (4-(-1) \right )^{2}+\left (1-(-1) \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{29}$

Therefore, each of the lengths of the sides of the quadrilateral ABCD are equal to √(29), and the quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus

b. The diagonals are AC and BD

The slope, m, of AC is given by the formula for the slope of a straight line as follows;

$Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Therefore;

$Slope, \, m_{AC} =\dfrac{1-4}{4-1} = -1$

The equation of the diagonal AC in point and slope form is given as follows;

y - 4 = -1×(x - 1)

y = -x + 1 + 4

The equation of the diagonal AC is y = 5 - x

$Slope, \, m_{BD} =\dfrac{-1-6}{-1-6} = 1$

The equation of the diagonal BD in point and slope form is given as follows;

y - 6 = 1×(x - 6)

y = x - 6 + 6 = x

The equation of the diagonal BD is y = x

c. Comparing the lines AC and BD with equations, y = 5 - x and y = x, which are straight line equations of the form y = m·x + c, where m = the slope and c = the x intercept, we have;

The slope m for the diagonal AC = -1 and the slope m for the diagonal BD = 1, therefore, the slopes are opposite signs

The point of intersection of the two diagonals is given as follows;

5 - x = x

∴ x = 5/2 = 2.5

y = x = 2.5

The lines intersect at (2.5, 2.5), given that the slopes, m₁ = -1 and m₂ = 1 of the diagonals lines satisfy the condition for perpendicular lines m₁ = -1/m₂, therefore, the diagonals are perpendicular.

If price of 12 eggs is rs 192 , how many eggs can be bought for rs 160

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

10 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to work out the price per unit :

12 eggs = rs 192

1 egg = rs 192÷12

1 egg = rs 16

? egg = rs 160

16×? = 160

? = 160÷16

? = 10

So our final answer will be 10 eggs

24)The table represents some points on the graph of a linear function. Which function represents the same relationship?

Andru [333]

Answer:

A) D) g(x) = 2x - 8

2) B) y = 3/4x - 1 and y = -4/3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In the table, we have the points

(5, 2)

(7, 6)

(9, 10)

(10, 12)

This seems to be a linear relationship, so let's try that:

A linear relationship can be written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

If we use the first two points, we get the slope:

a = (6 - 2)/(7 - 5) = 4/2 = 2

if we use the first and last point, we get the slope:

a = (12 - 2)/(10 - 5) = 10/5 = 2

Then we can conclude that this is a linear relationship with a slope equal to 2.

y = 2*x + b

To find the value of b, we can just replace any of the points of the data table in the equation, for example, i will use the point (5, 2).

this means that x = 5, and y = 2.

2 = 2*5 + b

2 = 10 + b

2 - 10 = b

-8 = b

Then the equation is:

y = 2*x - 8

the correct option is: D) g(x) = 2x - 8

2) Here we have two lines, notice that we can with just looking at the image, know the y-intercept of each line.

The one with a positive slope (grows to the right) has a y-intercept = - 1.

The one with a negative slope (grows to the left) has a y-intercept = 9.

The two options that match this condition are:

B) y = 3/4x - 1 and y = -4/3x + 9

C) y = 3/4x - 1 and y = -3/4x + 9

Where the only difference is the slope of the black line.

so et's check which slope matches that line.

In the graph we can see that it passes through the points:

(0, 9) and the point (6, 1)

Then the slope is:

a = (1 - 9)/(6 - 0) = -8/6 = -4/3

Then the correct option is where the negative slope is -4/3, that one is

B) y = 3/4x - 1 and y = -4/3x + 9
