Answer:
x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
7(x + 2) = 2x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
7x + 14 = 2x - 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
5x + 14 = - 1 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
5x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 3
Question 9
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the ray NM is the segment bisector XY
so
NM divides the segment XY into two equal parts
XM = MY
given
XM = 3x+1
MY = 8x-24
so substituting XM = 3x+1 and MY = 8x-24 in the equation
XM = MY
3x+1 = 8x-24
8x-3x = 1+24
5x = 25
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5
so the value of x = 5
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 3x+1 + 8x-24
= 11x - 23
substituting x = 5
= 11(5) - 23
= 55 - 23
= 32
Therefore,
The length of the segment = 32 units
Question 10)
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the line n is the segment bisector XY
so
The line divides the segment XY into two equal parts at M
XM = MY
given
XM = 5x+8
MY = 9x+12
so substituting XM = 5x+8 and MY = 9x+12 in the equation
XM = MY
5x+8 = 9x+12
9x-5x = 8-12
4x = -4
divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -4/4
x = -1
so the value of x = -1
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 5x+8 + 9x+12
= 14x + 20
substituting x = 1
= 14(-1) + 20
= -14+20
= 6
Therefore,
The length of the segment XY = 6 units
Answer:
Answer: 4.8 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
In total there are 12 ounces. If she drinks 3/5 of 12 you multiply 3/5 by 12.
3/5 * 12 would be equal to 3/5 * 12/1 which is 36/5. You have found how much she has drank. 36/5 is also equal to 7.2 ounces. Subtract 7.2 form 12 and you get 4.8 ounces.
Hope this helped!
Answer: 30 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
3 hours is 180 minutes.
y=1/6(180)
y=30 mi
You could do y÷2-x to get x - half of y
