Find the value of x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
kotykmax [81]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 8

y = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

By verticle angles theorem, the angles with the measure of ( 4x + 17 ), and the angles with the measure of ( y + 20 ) are equal.

Verticles angles theorem states, when two lines intersect, there are four angles formed. The angles opposite to each other will have the same measure or congruent measures.

Hence one can say that;

4x + 17 = y + 20

Inverse operations;

4x + 17 = y + 20

     -17          -17

4x = y + 3

-3      -3

4x - 3 = y

Assuming that lines "m" and "n" are parallel, then the angles with the measure of ( 5x + 9 ) and the angles with the measure of ( y + 20 ) are congruent.

When two lines are parallel and are intersected by another line (transversal line), then the angles that are alternate and interior are congruent, in other words,  the same measure.

Based on that, one can say;

5x + 9 = y + 20

Earlier it was found that;

y = 4x - 3

Now substitute that into the previous equation, and solve using simplification and inverse operations;

5x + 9 = 4x - 3 + 20

5x + 9 = 4x + 17

     -9          -9

5x = 4x + 8

-4x   -4x

x = 8

Back solve to find y

y = 4x - 3

y = 4(8) - 3

y = 32 - 3

y = 29

The three is in the ten thousands place; so it would equal thirty thousand. I'm not sure if that's how you wanted the answer though.

Taivon is training for a duathlon, which is a race that consists of running and cycling. The cycling leg is longer than the runn
Zina [86]

Answer:

A. Taivon runs 0,285 miles for every mile he rides his bike.

B. Yes

C. No

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Taivon is running 4 miles for every 14 miles he rides his bike. We can identify a ratio of 4:14. However, both numbers have a common multiple and can be reduced to 2:7; saying that taivon runs 4 miles for every 14 miles he rides his bike is the same to say he runs 2 miles for every 7 miles he rides his bike. To find the value of this ratio, we simply divide 2 miles that Taivon runs between 7 miles he rides his bike. The value of the ratio of miles he runs for miles he rides his bike is 0,285.

Once Taivon finished his training the ratio between the of total number of miles he ran to total number of miles he cycled was 80: 280. This is consistent with his training schedule, because if we divide 80 between 280, we obtain the same value of ratio previously calculated: 0,285. This means also that the total number of miles he ran and the miles he runs on one session are multiples; the same applies for the total number of miles he rode and the miles he rides on one session. If we divide 80 between 4, we obtain 20. Furthermore, if we multiply 20 times 14, we obtain 280.  We can conclude then that Taivon trained 20 days in preparation to the Duathlon.

In one training session, Taivon ran 4 miles and cycled 7 miles. The ratio of the distance he ran to the distance he cycled in this session changes and for this session is 0,571. This training session does not represent an equivalent ratio of the distance he ran to the distance he cycled, since he actually fell short in the cycling by 7 miles to his usual 14 miles riding the bike.

A line goes through the points (9,8) and (-6,3). What is its slope?
katovenus [111]
<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷  slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Substitute in the values

slope = (3-8)/(-6-9)

Solve:

slope = 1/3
