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.

Write and solve a system of linear​ equations: The larger of two numbers is 18 more than 5 times
Kryger [21]

Answer:

8 and - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the larger number and y the smaller , then

x = 5y + 18 → (1)

3x + 4y = 16 → (2)

substitute x = 5y + 18 into (2)

3(5y + 18) + 4y = 16 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

15y + 54 + 4y = 16

19y + 54 = 16 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

19y = - 38 ( divide both sides by - 19 )

y = - 2

substitute y = - 2 into (1)

x = 5(- 2) + 18 = - 10 + 18 = 8

then larger number is 8 and smaller is - 2

Find the value of w and then x. Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angle measures to the nearest degree.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer

w=7.6

x=43.7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for w you can use Sin(x)=\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}  which would basically be Sin(50)=\frac{w}{10} then solve. Multiply the ten on both sides so you have 10*Sin(50)=w and your final answer is 7.6

To solve for x you can also use Sin(x)=\frac{7.6}{11} then just use Inverse of Sin^-1

The answer is x=43.7
