Answer:

Option B JM is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance that represents the distance from point J to KL is JM.

The distance between any given point and a line is the shortest distance between a fixed point and any point on the line.

This implies that it is the length of the perpendicular line segment on the line and passes through the point.

Here, in the figure, JM is perpendicular to the line KL drawn from the point J.

So, the answer is JM.

The answer would be line JM because the line is the same length as line KL and it connects the line to the angle

Rationalize the denominator of $\frac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt{2}}$. The answer can be written as $\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$, whe

musickatia [10]

Rationalizing the denominator involves exploiting the well-known difference of squares formula,

$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

We have

$(\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2)(\sqrt{16}+\sqrt2)=(\sqrt{16})^2-(\sqrt2)^2=16-2=14$

so that

$\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{32}(\sqrt{16}+\sqrt2)}{14}$

Rewrite 16 and 32 as powers of 2, then simplify:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2^5}(\sqrt{2^4}+\sqrt2)}{14}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{2^2\sqrt2(2^2+\sqrt2)}{14}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{4\sqrt2(4+\sqrt2)}{14}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{16\sqrt2+4(\sqrt2)^2}{14}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{16\sqrt2+8}{14}$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{16}-\sqrt2}=\dfrac{8\sqrt2+4}7$

So we have A = 8, B = 2, C = 4, and D = 7, and thus A + B + C + D = 21.

Three students were given the expression shown and were asked to take a common factor out of two of the terms.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression given → 4 - 9x + 21

Chang's expression → 4 - 3(3x + 7)

Chang's expression is incorrect because the correct expression is [4 - 3(3x - 7)]

Benjamin's expression → 4 + 3(3x + 7)

Benjamin's expression is incorrect because the correct expression is [4 - 3(3x - 7)]

Habib's expression → 4 + 12x

Habib's expression is incorrect because the correct expression is [4 - 3(3x - 7)]

Correct expression → [4 - 3(3x - 7)]

Three times the sum of a number and 3 is 3 less than the number times 5. Find the number

Reika [66]

Hello!

Let's write this as an equation.

3(x+3)=5x-3

First, let's simplify the parentheses.

3x+9=5x-3

Let's subtract 5x from both sides.

-2x+9=-3

We subtract 9 from both sides.

-2x=-12

We divide both sides by -2.

x=6

Therefore, the number is 6.

I hope this helps!
