Answer:

$x=\frac{1}{a-b}$

The value of x is inversely proportional to the difference of a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $ax-bx+1$

We factor the left hand side to get:

$(a-b)x=1$

We divide both sides by: a-b

$x=\frac{1}{a-b}$

Observe that the difference of a and b is in the denominator.

The whole is of the form: $x\propto \frac{1}{a-b}$

The value of x is inversely proportional to the difference of a and b.

Answer:

Sample Response: The equation ax = bx + 1 is the same as x = 1/(a - b) when solved for x. This means that x is equal to the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

A paper cup is dropped and its landing position is recorded. The cup can land on the side, on the open end, or on the closed end

Strike441 [17]

prob( it lands on open end) = 8/20 = 2/5

prob ( lands on closed end) = 4/20 = 1/5

The second choice is correct.

Prove that DJKL~ DJMN using SAS Similarity Theorem. Plot the points J (1,1), K(2,3), L(4,1) and J (1,1), M(3,5), N(7,1). Draw DJ

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The triangles are plotted and shown in the attachment.

SAS Similarity Theorem is by definition: if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the angles formed by those sides in each triangle is congruent, the triangles are similar.

For the triangles on the grid, we know that ΔJKL and ΔJMN have a congruent angle in J as shown in the image. To prove they are similar, we find the slope of sides KL and MN:

Slope of KL:

slope = $\frac{y_{K} - y_{L} }{x_{K} - x_{L} }$
