Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a line parallel to a side of the triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides then it divides those sides proportionally, that is

$\frac{10-x}{x}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(10 - x)

3x = 20 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

5x = 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 4

Solve this equation.

Anika [276]

Answer:

Answer: b = 58/5 or 11 3/5 or 11.6 decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b:

b - (3 + 2/5) = 8 + 1/5

Put 3 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 3 + 2/5 = (5×3)/5 + 2/5:

b - (5×3)/5 + 2/5 = 8 + 1/5

5×3 = 15:

b - (15/5 + 2/5) = 8 + 1/5

15/5 + 2/5 = (15 + 2)/5:

b - (15 + 2)/5 = 8 + 1/5

15 + 2 = 17:

b - 17/5 = 8 + 1/5

Put each term in b - 17/5 over the common denominator 5: b - 17/5 = (5 b)/5 - 17/5:

(5 b)/5 - 17/5 = 8 + 1/5

(5 b)/5 - 17/5 = (5 b - 17)/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 8 + 1/5

Put 8 + 1/5 over the common denominator 5. 8 + 1/5 = (5×8)/5 + 1/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = (5×8)/5 + 1/5

5×8 = 40:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 40/5 + 1/5

40/5 + 1/5 = (40 + 1)/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = (40 + 1)/5

40 + 1 = 41:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 41/5

Multiply both sides of (5 b - 17)/5 = 41/5 by 5:

(5 b - 17)/(5 1/5) = 1/5×1/(1/5) 41

1/5×1/(1/5) = 1:

5 b - 17 = 1/5×1/(1/5) 41

1/5×1/(1/5) = 1:

5 b - 17 = 41

Add 17 to both sides:

5 b + (17 - 17) = 17 + 41

17 - 17 = 0:

5 b = 41 + 17

41 + 17 = 58:

5 b = 58

Divide both sides of 5 b = 58 by 5:

(5 b)/5 = 58/5

5/5 = 1:

Answer: b = 58/5 or 11 3/5 or 11.6 decimal

What is the slope of the line through (-7,-8)(−7,−8)left parenthesis, minus, 7, comma, minus, 8, right parenthesis and (0,4)(0,4

ANEK [815]

Answer:

12/7

Step-by-step explanation:

When given two points, we can find the slope by using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (4 - -8)/ (0 - -7)

= (4+8) / (0+7)

= 12/7

Which equation represents the circle described?

faust18 [17]

ANSWER

${(x - 4)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = {2}^{2}$

EXPLANATION

The equation of the circle with radius r and centre (a,b) is given by

$(x - a)^{2} + {(x - b)}^{2} = {r}^{2}$

The radius is

$r = 2$

We need to determine the center of the circle from the given equation of another circle, which is,

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 8x - 6y + 24 = 0$

We complete the square to obtain,

${x}^{2} - 8x+ {y}^{2} - 6y + 24 = 0$

${x}^{2} - 8x+ {y}^{2} - 6y = - 24$
${x}^{2} - 8x+ {( - 4)}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 6y + {( - 3)}^{2} = - 24 + {( - 3)}^{2} + {( - 4)}^{2}$

${(x - 4)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = - 24 + 9+ 16$

${(x - 4)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = 1$

The centre of this circle is (4,3)

Hence the center of the circle whose equation we want to find is also (4,3).

With this center and radius 2, the required equation is,

${(x - 4)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = {2}^{2}$

Therefore the correct answer is C.
