Omitted / Incomplete Question : Judy has read 4 Less than three times as many as Jason

Answer:Jason has read  7 mystery novels and Judy has read  17 mystery novels

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of mystery books read by  Jason and Judy =24

Let Number of mystery books read by Jason=x

and  Number of mystery books read by Judy= 3x-4

So that the total number of book read by both of them will be expressed as

x +(3x-4) =24

x +3x-4 =24

4x=24+4

4x=28

x=28/4=7

There fore  Jason has read  7 mystery novels

and Judy = 3x-4 = 3 X 7- 4 =21-4=17mystery novels

ANSWER

x = 13

EXPLANATION

Use the Pythagoras Theorem to obtain,

{x}^{2}  =  {12}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}

This implies that,

{x}^{2}  = 144 + 25

{x}^{2}  = 169

Take the positive square root of both sides to get,

x =  \sqrt{169}

x = 13

Can someone explain this? :)
Alchen [17]

I'll do part (a) to get you started.

The angle 'a' pairs up with the 123 degree angle as a corresponding angle pair. Due to the parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore a = 123.

We also see that b = 123 as well since a = b (they are vertical angles).

Notice how angle c is adjacent to the 123 degree angle. These two angles form a straight line, so they must add to 180 degrees.

c+123 = 180

c = 180-123

c = 57

-------------------------

To summarize, we have these three angles

a = 123

b = 123

c = 57

The answer key says the answer is B, but I don't understand how it is decreasing...isn't the velocity shown to be increasing? An
german

Answer:

Acceleration and velocity are two different things.  The acceleration is the rate at which the velocity is increasing.  So while the velocity very well may be increasing, the rate (acceleration) at which it is, is decreasing.
