Answer:

z=(-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/3)*z=(-4)

2*z=3*(-4) --> We move the 3 from the left to the right part of the equation. It was dividing, so we move it multiplying.

2*z=(-12)

z=(-12)/2 --> It's the inverse case of before. 2 was multiplying, so we move it to the right by dividing it.

z=(-6)

1/7x-5=2 can anyone solve for X?

Vikki [24]

In this equation x = 49.

In order to find this, follow the order of operation of solving equations.

1/7x - 5 = 2 -----> Add 5 to both sides

1/7x = 7 ----> Multiply both sides by 7

x = 49

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra

Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5 = x\times x$

$\Rightarrow 80= x^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5= x^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square roots get canceled, we get

$\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{ 5} = x$

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .
