4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is Option D. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we get,

<RUS = 90° because RU ⊥ TS

To find the value of x

It is given that <RUS = 4x + 54

Therefore we can write,

4x + 54 = 90

4x = 90 - 54 = 36

x = 36/4 = 9

To find RS

It is given that,

RS = 3x - 7 = 3*9 -7 = 20

Therefore the correct option is Option D . 20

Solve for x and y in the system of equation 3x²+4y=17 2x²+5y=2 I'll mark brainliest

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

$x=\pm \sqrt{11} \\y=-4.$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left \{ {{3x^2+4y=17} \atop {2x^2+5y=2}} \right. \\\\Then\\\\\left \{ {{2 \times (3x^2+4y)=2 \times 17} \atop {3\times(2x^2+5y)=3\times2}} \right. \\\\\left \{ {{6x^2+8y=34 \quad (1)} \atop {6x^2+15y=6\quad (2)}} \right.\\\\(1)-(2) \Rightarrow -7y=28 \Rightarrow y =-4.\\Since \: \: 2x^2+5y=2 \Rightarrow 2x^2=2-5y\\\Rightarrow 2x^2=2+20=22\\\Rightarrow x^2=22:2=11\\\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{11}.$

Carl and Tamera want to compare their tests in math class. They have taken six tests. Should they use the mean, median or mode t

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

I said mean because it would allow both Carl and Tamera to average their scores and compare one side by side rather than comparing 6 each which would just be time consuming and it seems like it wouldn't be any other choices.

I REALLY NEED AN ANSWER FAST! Which statement about the diagram is true?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To keep it short, refer to triangle exterior angle theorem.

Edit: If you want the full explanation,

A isn't the answer. The triangle exterior angle states that the measure of the 2 triangle interior add up to the the exterior angle of the other interior angle within the triangle.

Meaning that

measure of angle 1 equal the measure of 3 and 4 combined.

B. is wrong they are equal to each other because angle 2 is equal to angle 2

angle 1 is equal to angle 3 and 4

So they are equal

C.Wrong unless it a 30 60 90 triangle or 45 45 90 triangle, C is wrong

D. is right since measure of angle 4 and angle 3 add up to angle 1, angle 4 would be lesser than angle 1.
