6. Find JL. Please and thank you. 5x-16=3x+4

Mathematics
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

JL = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

JM = ML

Hence, 3x + 4 = 5x - 16

Subtract 3x from both sides

4 = 2x - 16

Add 16 to both sides

20 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

10 = x

Now we want to find JL

Note that JL = JM + ML

JM = 3x + 4 and x = 10

Substitute 10 for x

3(10) + 4

Multiply

30 + 4

Add

JM = 34

Because JM = ML

We simply multiply 34 times 2 to find the length of JL

34 * 2 = 68

JL = 68

Describe how to find the sums -4 + 2 and -4 + -2 on a number line
xz_007 [3.2K]
For number 1, you start at zero and go to the left since the four is negative four spaces. Then, you go to the right two spaces since the 2 is positive. Your answer is -2

For number 2, you start at zero and go left four spaces since it is negative and then go two more spaces to the left because it is negative again

Why is using a compass and straightedge and compass better than technology
Dimas [21]

Technology comes from the Greek root \tau \epsilon \chi, meaning art or craft.


For the Greeks, a straightedge and compass was technology.


The nice thing about a straightedge and compass construction of any length is that there's always a corresponding algebraic form consisting of natural numbers combined via addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square rooting (of positive numbers). So we get an "exact" answer, at least using radicals.


Compare that to the typical calculating technology we use today where the square roots turn into approximations. The calculator is worse, turning an exact answer into an approximation.


Straightedge and compass constructions play a large role in the development of mathematics but they're not really better, it's just how things went. By restricting ourselves to straightedges (linear equations) and compasses (circles, quadratic equations) we restricted the possible lengths we could construct. Understanding exactly how propelled mathematics forward for a couple of thousand years.

IM SO LOST PLEASE HELP
LiRa [457]
Check the picture below.

\bf \textit{lateral area of a cone}\\\\
LA=\pi r\stackrel{slant-height}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}}~~
\begin{cases}
LA=539\pi \\
r=49
\end{cases}\implies 539\pi =\pi 49\sqrt{r^2+h^2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{539\pi }{49\pi }=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}\implies 11=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}

Find the remainder when x51+x is divided by x+1
kaheart [24]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the remainder is the portion of the dividend that is not evenly divisible by the divisor. Basically, it is what's left over. In this case, -2 is the amount left over after dividing this equation.
