Find x so that a is parallel to b. state the converse used​

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 7

If a is parallel to b, then 9(7) + 11 = 74.

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know if the lines are parallel, so we need to see what x is in 9x + 11 = 74, then substitute that value for x in the equation. If both sides are true, the two lines are parallel.

9x + 11 = 74

<em>Step 1: Subtract 11 from both sides.</em>

9x = 63

<em>Step 2: Divide both sides by 9.</em>

x = 7

<em>To make sure, let's substitute 7 for x in the earlier equation.</em>

9(7) + 11 = 74

<em>Step 3: Multiply 9 by 7 to get 63.</em>

63 + 11 = 74

<em>Step 4: Add 11 to 63 to get 74.</em>

74 = 74

The two sides are equal, so a and b are parallel. The definition of a converse is the reverse of a conditional statement. As a result, the converse here is "If a is parallel to b, then 9(7) + 11 = 74."

If f(x)=3x+1 then f(a+h)-f(a)
Varvara68 [4.7K]
F(x) = 3x+1
put x = a+h
f(a+h)  = 3(a+h) + 1
f(a+h) = 3a + 3h + 1
put x = a
f(a) = 3a + 1
f(a+h)-f(a) = 3a + 3h + 1 -(3a+1)
f(a+h)-f(a) = 3a +3h + 1 - 3a -1
f(a+h)-f(a) = 3h

P:-3x + 8x - 5x = x<br><br> q: (3x)(5y) = 15xy<br><br> Which of the following statements is false?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: Statement p is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

In both cases, we need to isolate the variables:

p: -3*x + 8*x - 5*x = x

   (-3*x - 5*x) + 8*x = x

    -8x + 8*x = x

        0 = x

This will be true only for one value of x, so this is not always true, which means that the statement is false.

q: (3*x)*(5*y) = 15*x*y

let's solve the left side:

  3*x*5*y = 15*x*y

  (3*5)*(x*y) = 15*x*y

   15*x*y = 15*x*y

This is true for every value of x and y, then this statement is true.

Which polynomial is the perfect square trinomial? And why??? Help Please!!
lutik1710 [3]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

See the attached

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

When you square the binomial (a -b), you get ...

... (a -b)² = a² -2ab +b²

That is, both the a² and b² terms have positive signs, and the middle term is twice the product of the roots of the squared terms.

The last two selections have negative signs on the constant, so cannot be perfect square trinomials.

The first selection has a middle term that is -ab, not -2ab, so it is not a perfect square trinomial, either.

The second selection is the correct one:

... 4a² -20a +25 = (2a +5)²

In a two-digit number, the tens digit is 5 less than the units digit. The number itself is five more than three times the sum of
Luden [163]

Given:

In a two-digit number, the tens digit is 5 less than the units digit.

The number itself is five more than three times the sum of its digits.

To find:

The number.

Solution:

Let the two digit number is ab. So,

ab=10a+b

Tens digit is 5 less than the units digit.

a=b-5       ...(i)

The number itself is five more than three times the sum of its digits.

10a+b=3(a+b)+5

10a+b=3a+3b+5

10a+b-3a-3b=5

7a-2b=5          ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii), we get

7(b-5)-2b=5

7b-35-2b=5

5b=5+35

5b=40

b=8

Putting b=8 in (i), we get

a=8-5

a=3

Therefore, the required number is 38.
