Given a line segment that contains the points A,B, & C in order, if AB = x + 12, and BC = 2x - 4, and AC = 26, find x.

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If A, B and C lies on a straight line in order, then;

AB+BC = AC

x+12+2x-4 = 26

x+2x+12-4 =26

3x+8 = 26

3x = 26-8

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

Hence the value of x is 6

Fabian harvests 10 pounds of tomatoes from his garden he needs 2 2/5 pound to make a batch of soup. If he sets aside 2.8 pounds
dusya [7]
He can make 3 batches of soup.

Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.

0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10

We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:

7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5

Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5

Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3

Can you guys help me​
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The answer is 76.

Step-by-step explanation:

≅ means to be equal to.

☆Angle DGE ≅ EGF.

Therefore, 3x + 8 = 5x - 12

☆Let's solve that equation.

3x  + 8 = 5x - 12 \\  \frac{ - 5x \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   =  - 5x  \:  \:   \:  \:   \: \:  \:  \: }{ - 2x + 8 =  - 12}  \\  \frac{  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: - 8  =  - 8}{  \frac{ - 2x}{ - 2}  =  \frac{ - 20}{ - 2} }   \\ x = 10

We found the value of x which is 10.

☆Let's Now plug in.

DGE \\ 3x + 8 \\ 3(10) + 8 \\ 30 + 8 \\ 38

and the other:

EGF \\ 5x - 12 \\ 5(10) - 12 \\ 50 - 12 \\ 38

☆They asked for what the angle of DGF measured. So we would have to add both sides

38 + 38 = 76

☆The answer is 76

Explain the connection between factors of a polynomial, zeros of a polynomial function, and solutions of a polynomial equation.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solutions, zeros, and roots of a polynomial are all the same exact thing and can be used interchangeably.  When you factor a polynomial, you solve for x which are the solutions of the polynomial.  Since, when you factor a polynomial, you do so by setting the polynomial equal to 0, by definition of x-intercept, you are finding the zeros (don't forget that x-intercepts exist where y is equal to 0). There's the correlation between zeros and solutions.  

Since factoring and distributing "undo" each other (or are opposites), if you factor to find the zeros, you can distribute them back out to get back to the polynomial you started with.  Each zero or solution is the x value when y = 0.  For example, if a solution to a polynomial is x = 3, since that is a zero of the polynomial, we can set that statement equal to 0: x - 3 = 0.  What we have then is a binomial factor of the polynomial in the form (x - 3).  These binomial factors found from the solutions/zeros of the polynomial FOIL out to give you back the polynomial equation.

Brian is skateboarding at 8 kilometers per hour. How long will it take Brian to travel 12 kilometers?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

An hour and 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In one hour, they travel 8 kilometers. They then have 4 kilometers left. 4 is half. of 8, so I would possibly take half the time it would to travel 8, making it 30 minutes for the other 4 kilometers.

In how many ways can the letters of the
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The letter "BHUTAN" has to be arranged

For filing the first place of 6 letter word, we have 6 choices

Similarly for filling the second place of the word, we have 5 choices as 1 letter is already filled.

In this way, the remaining places can be filled in 4, 3, 2, and 1 way

On combining the above, 6 places can be filled in  

\Rightarrow 6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1=6!\\\Rightarrow 720\ \text{ways}

Thus, option (b) is correct.
