Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

HF is a perpendicular bisector of Δ EGH

Then Δ EGH is an isosceles triangle with 2 congruent sides GH and EH , so

GH = EH

3x - 8 = 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

x = 8

Then

GH = 3x - 8 = 3(8) - 8 = 24 - 8 = 16

Answer:

From diagram, FG = EF

Solving fo HF and FG by Pythagorean Theorem

HF² = (3x -8)² -FG²

HF² = (2x)² -FG²

We can eliminate HF² and FG² from BOTH equations because they cancel out.

The 2 equations become (3x -8)² = (2x)²

9x² -48x +64 = 4x²

5x² -48x +64 = 0

Using Quadratic Formula

X1 = 8

X2 = 1.6

********************************************

2x = 16 AND 2x = 3.2

F is 90°

3x -8 = 16 AND 3x -8 = 2.8

Solve the system of equations by substitution - 5x+8y= -86 <br>y=6x-43

n200080 [17]

Answer:

(6 ,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 5x + 8y = - 86 \\ y = 6x - 43 \\ - 5x = - 86 - 8y \\ x = 17.2 + 1.6y \\ y = 6(17.2 + 1.6y) - 43 \\ y = 103.2 + 9.6y - 43 \\ 8.6y = - 60.2 \\ y = - 7 \\$

$x = 17.2 + 1.6( - 7) \\ x = 17.2 - 11.2 \\ x = 6$

Answer: q³⁰

Explanation:

First just solve the first part using the exponent rules

p²q⁵ becomes 1/p-⁸q-²⁰ then we flip the fraction so the exponents become positive. Now we have p⁸q²⁰.

Before multiplying the other equation, we must simplify. p-⁴q⁵ becomes 1/p⁴q-⁵ and since it's the exponents being raised to a power we simply multiply the inner exponents times the outer exponent which yields 1/p⁸q-¹⁰. We must make q-¹⁰ positive so we will then bring it to the numerator of the fraction which gives us: q¹⁰/p⁸.

Multiply q¹⁰/p⁸ * p⁸q²⁰/1 = p⁸q³⁰/p⁸ divide the p exponents by each other which yields 0 since when u divide exponents you just subtract them so 8 - 8 = 0. Your answer is now q³⁰/1 or just q³⁰
