Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the  midpoint of side YZ.

Triangle XYZ is cut by line segment AB. Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the midpoint of side YZ. The length of XY is (5x - 7), the length of AB is (x + 1), and the lengths of XA and ZA are (2x - 2). The lengths of YB and BZ are congruent.

What is AX ?

2 units

4 units

6 units

8 units

From the figure attached,

XYZ is a triangle having A and B as the midpoints of the sides XZ and YZ.

By the theorem of midpoints,

AB = \frac{1}{2}\text{(XY)}

Since AB = (x + 1) and XY = (5x - 7)

(x + 1) = \frac{1}{2}(5x-7)

2x + 2 = 5x - 7

5x - 2x = 2 + 7

3x = 9

x = 3

Therefore, side AB = 3 + 1 = 4 units

Side XY = (5x - 7)

             = 15 - 7

             = 8 units

Side XA = 2(x - 1)

              = 4 units

Therefore, Option (2) will be the answer.

1. 36(a+b)^2 - 49(a-b(^2
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

-13a^2 + 170ab - 13b^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  36(a+b)^2 - 49(a-b)^2

This is the difference of 2 squares: a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b).

36(a+b)^2 - 49(a-b)^2

= (6(a + b) + 7(a - b))(  6(a + b) - 7(a - b))

= (6a  + 7a + 6b - 7b)( 6a - 7a + 6b + 7b)

= (13a - b)(-a + 13b)

If you require the expansion of this it is:

-13a^2 + 170ab - 13b^2.

In a given year, the population of Metro City is 7420, and the population is decreasing by 152 people per year. The population o
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>x</em> denote the years.

The information provided is:

  • The population of Metro City is 7420.
  • The population is decreasing by 152 people per year.
  • The population of Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City.

From the provided data derive the equation for the population of Smallville <em>x</em> years after as follows:

Y = [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200

The population of Smallville is 2282 after <em>x</em> years.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

2282= [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200

\frac{7420-152x}{2}=2282+1200\\\\7420-152x=3482\times 2\\\\152x=7420-6964\\\\152x=456\\\\x=3

Thus, the time it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282 is 3 years.

The correct option is D.
