8 0

Answer:

b / (b - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Litres of water held by bucket = b

Jar holds 8 litres fewer than bucket; hence, litres held by jar = b - 8

The number of times bucket can hold than jar is :

Litres held by bucket / litres held by jar

b / (b - 8)

Given rectangle RUTS, the missing reasons that justifies the five statements in the two-column proof are:

  1. Given
  2. Definition of rectangle.
  3. Definition of rectangle.
  4. By SAS Congruence Theorem.
  5. By CPCTC.

<h3>What is a Rectangle?</h3>
  • A rectangle is a quadrilateral.
  • All four angles in a rectangle are right angles.
  • The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel and congruent to each other.

Therefore, based on what we are given and the definition of a rectangle, we can establish that △URS ≅ △STU by SAS.

Since △URS ≅ △STU, therefore ∠USR = ∠SUT by CPCTC.

In conclusion, given rectangle RUTS, the missing reasons that justifies the five statements in the two-column proof are:

  1. Given
  2. Definition of rectangle.
  3. Definition of rectangle.
  4. By SAS Congruence Theorem.
  5. By CPCTC.

How do I solve the following system of equations? <br>-5x-3y=7<br>-3x-4y=2​
garri49 [273]

Answer:

(-2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of equations can be solved using different methods.  For this set of systems, you can multiply each equation by a factor in order to eliminate a variable and solve for the other variable:

-3(-5x - 3y = 7)  or 15x + 9y = -21

5(-3x - 4y = 2)  or <u>-15x -20y = 10</u>

                                    -11y = -11

                                        y = 1

Solve for x:  -5x - 3 = 7

Add 3 to both sides:  -5x -3 + 3 = 7 + 3 or -5x = 10

Solve for x: x = -2

(-2, 1)

I need help. What are the two numbers on the middle
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

  Miles: 35; Gallons: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of gallons can be any number of your choosing that is less than 12, which is the capacity of the tank. For the purpose here, 1 is a convenient number. To find the corresponding number of miles (m), you need to solve the proportion ...

  420/12 = m/1

  35 = m

  (miles, gallons) = (35, 1) . . . a suitable choice for the table values

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

If your sense of symmetry is offended by choosing 1 for Gallons, you can choose 10, a number halfway between 12 and 8. In that case, your proportion is ...

  420/12 = m/10   ⇒   m = 350

Then, your entry would be ...

 (miles, gallons) = (350, 10)
