Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of line segments joining a common point to tangents are always equal.

RS = RQ = 2

PW = PQ = 3

x = PQ + QR = 3 + 2 = 5

Answer:

x = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding lengths of the unmarked sides:

PQ = PW = 3

QR = 2

VW = 6

ST = 9 ( because in each case lines drawn from a point outside a circle as tangents to the circle are congruent)

S0 x = PQ + QR

= 3 + 2

= 5.

A tourist first walked 17km with a speed of v km/h. Then he hiked 12 km uphill with the speed that was 2 km/hour less than his o

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: $t=\frac{17}{v}+\frac{12}{v-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A tourist first walked 17km with a speed of v km/h.

Since $Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

therefore, $Time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

Let $t_1$ be the time he walked with speed v.

then $t_1=\frac{17}{v}$

Also he hiked 12 km uphill with the speed that was 2 km/hour less than his original speed.

Let $t_2$ be the time he hiked 12 km,

Then $t_2=\frac{12}{v-2}$

The total time for the whole trip is given by:-

$t=t_1+t_2=$

Substitute the values of $t_1$ and $t_2$ in the equation, we get

$t=\frac{17}{v}+\frac{12}{v-2}$

Solve the following equation for x 10=2-4(ax-3)

likoan [24]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{a}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2-4(ax-3)=10\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\-4(ax-3)=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4(ax-3)}{-4}=\dfrac{8}{-4}\\\\ax-3=-2\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\ax-3+3=-2+3\\\\ax=1\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ a\neq0\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{a}$

PLease help me on this one? <3

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

A. (1, 0)

Reason:

When the first equation is graphed: y < x + 1, the left side of the line is shaded and when the second equation is graphed: y < x^2 -3x, the bottom is shaded.

The green section does not contain solutions. So D is automatically out.

The red section does not contain solutions as well. So C is automatically out.

For choice B, the point goes out of the shaded blue section, so that's out also.

As for choice A its in the blue shaded section, which makes that answer correct.

(when the two equations are within each other and combine a color, then whatever points is within the shaded part is the right answer)
