Answer:
7a) y =
b) this equation means that for every 5 minutes the tram is an additional 1,273 feet above base
c) the first quadrant has 'x' and 'y' values that are positive and only positive values can be used to represent elevation above base and time
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Point G is the centroid of triangle ABC.
FG = x + 8 and AG = 6x - 4
To find:
The value of the variable x.
Solution:
Using rule of centroid:
Multiply by 3 on both sides, we get
⇒ 3(6x - 4) = 2(7x + 4)
⇒ 18x - 12 = 14x + 8
Subtract 14x from both sides.
⇒ 4x - 12 = 8
Add 12 on both sides.
⇒ 4x = 20
Divide by 4 on both sides.
⇒ x = 5
The value of x is 5.
