Answer:

  (b)  x = 7, AB = 9, AC = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔAEB ~ ΔCDB so corresponding sides are proportional.

  AB/CB = AE/CD

  (x+2)/(x -4) = 12/4

  x +2 = 3(x -4) . . . . . . multiply by x-4

  x +2 = 3x -12 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  14 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-x

  7 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

AB = x +2 = 7 +2 = 9

BC = x -4 = 7 -4 = 3

AC = AB +BC = 9 +3 = 12

__

In summary, ...

  x = 7, AB = 9, AC = 12 . . . . . matches the 2nd choice

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Please note the other choices make no sense.

  (a) AB = x +2 = -5 +2 = -3 ≠ -9

  (c) AC = 2x-2 = 2(7) -2 = 12 ≠ 9

  (d) segment lengths are never negative in a geometrical figure

Answer:

Part 1) 2.1 cups of cream

Part 2) 4.2 cups of dark chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The recipe for 20 chocolate truffles is:

I cup of cream

2 cups of dark chocolate

step 1

Find how many cups of cream are needed for 42 truffles

using proportion

Let

x-----> the number of cups of cream needed

20/1=42/x

x=42/20=2.1 cups of cream

step 2

Find how many cups of dark chocolate are needed for 42 truffles

using proportion

Let

x-----> the number of cups of dark chocolate needed

20/2=42/x

x=42*2/20=4.2 cups of dark chocolate

after 45 sec camdens bathtub fills with 3 inches of water how many seconds will it take to fill tub with 20 inches of water?
Marizza181 [45]
3/45 = 20/x...3 in to 45 seconds = 20 in to x seconds
cross multiply
(3)(x) = (45)(20)
3x = 900
x = 900/3
x = 300...300 seconds (or 5 minutes)to fill the tub with 20 inches

The coordinates of a quadrilateral are (1, 2), (4, 2), (1, 4), and (4, 4). After a transformation, the new coordinates are (1, −
Alchen [17]

The coordinates of the original quadrilateral are (1, 2), (4, 2), (1, 4), and (4, 4). After transformation, the new coordinates are (1, −2), (4, −2), (1, −4), and (4, −4). Thus, as we can see, the y coordinates of the original points have been multiplied by-1. This happens only when there is a reflection about the x axis.

Thus, the type of transformation in question here is reflection about the x axis.

Please find the attached graph to get a clearer picture of the explanation given here.
