Answer:

The value of AM = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

As point M is the midpoint of AB, so

AB = AM + BM

AM = BM

Given

AB = 8x - 50

AM = 2x + 9

so substituting AB = 8x - 50 and AM = 2x + 9 in the equation AB = AM + BM

AB = AM + BM

8x - 50 = 2x + 9 + BM

8x - 2x - 50 - 9 = BM

6x - 50 = BM

Thus,

BM = 6x - 59

AM = BM

so substituting AM = 2x + 9 and BM = 6x - 59 in the equation AM = BM

2x + 9 = 6x - 59

switch sides

6x - 59 = 2x + 9

subtract 2x from both sides

6x - 2x - 59 = 2x + 9 - 2x

4x - 59 = 9

add 59 to both sides

4x - 59 + 59 = 9 + 59

4x = 68

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 68/4

x = 17

Thus, the value of x = 17

Therefore, the value of AM will be:

AM = 2x + 9 = 2(17) + 9 = 34 + 9 = 43

Hence, the value of AM = 43

Verification:

AM = BM

2x + 9 = 6x - 59

2(17) + 9 = 6(17) - 59

34 + 9 = 102 - 59

43 = 43

and

AB = 8x - 50 = 8(17) - 50 = 86

Determine which postulate or theorem can be used to prove that

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$\triangle ABC \cong \triangle DCB$ by AAS

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the following two triangles, $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DCB$ are congruent by Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), because there are two angles shown and share a side, which is in the middle between triangles.

Trudy borrowed $560.00 from a friend and agreed that for several years she would make equal monthly payments to pay only the int

likoan [24]

Answer:

$54.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount borrowed = $560

Interest paid in the 12-month period = 6.5% of 560 =$36.4

The amount of interest Trudy pays in 18 months is worked out as

Monthly interest = $36.4/12

Interest payable in 18 months

= ($36.4/12) x 18

= $54.6

Given: sin(18m-12)=cos(7m+2), find the value of m.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or m = 2/3 - (π n_2)/18 for n_2 element Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for m:

-cos(7 m + 2) sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

cos(7 m + 2) sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Split into two equations:

cos(7 m + 2) = 0 or sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Take the inverse cosine of both sides:

7 m + 2 = π n_1 + π/2 for n_1 element Z

or sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

7 m = -2 + π/2 + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Divide both sides by 7:

m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Take the inverse sine of both sides:

m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or 12 - 18 m = π n_2 for n_2 element Z

Subtract 12 from both sides:

m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or -18 m = π n_2 - 12 for n_2 element Z

Divide both sides by -18:

Answer: m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or m = 2/3 - (π n_2)/18 for n_2 element Z
