Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of segments is used:

  EF +FG = EG

  3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions

  8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2

  18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x

  6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3

The value of the variable is 6.

__

<em>Check</em>

The segment lengths are ...

  EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18

  FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46

  EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct

Is the LCM of a pair of numbers ever equal to one of the numbers?
den301095 [7]

Yes.

For example, the LCM of 12 and 36 is 36, because factoring these numbers gives

12 = 2^2 * 3

36 = 2^2 * 3^2

So, to match them, just multiply the twelve by 3, then they're both 36.

PLEASEEE HURRYYY

Answer:

(2,-5) and (2,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the find all the points having an x coordinate of 2 whose distance from the point (-2,-4) is 5.

A circle with center (-2,-4) and radius 5 represents all the points whose distance from the point (-2,-4) is 5.

Standard form of a circle is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

where, (h,k) is center and r is the radius.

(x-(-2))^2+(y-(-4))^2=(5)^2

(x+2)^2+(y+2)^2=25

Now, put x=2.

(2+2)^2+(y+2)^2=25

(4)^2+(y+2)^2=25

(y+2)^2=25-16

(y+2)^2=9

Taking square root on both sides.

y+2=\pm\sqrt{9}

y+2=\pm3

y+2=-3\text{ or }y+2=3

y=-5\text{ or }y=1

So, the y-coordinates of the points are -5 and 1.

Therefore, the required points are (2,-5) and (2,1).
