Answer:

<em>C. 15</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that these segments formed from each parallel line are proportional, x/5 = x-6/3.

Now cross multiply by multiplying each denominator by the opposite numerator, this is so the denominators or bottom numbers of each fraction will cancel.

x/5 = x–6/3 → (3)(x/5) = (3)(x–6/3) → 3x/5 = x–6 →

(5)(3x/5) = (5)(x–6) → 3x = 5(x–6) → 3x = 5x – 30.

The last step is to do the basic algebra to find x:

3x = 5x – 30

–5x –5x

[5x will cancel when you subtract both sides by 5x]

-2x = -30

(-1) (-1)

[2 negatives make a positive when -1 is multiplied by an expression with a negative coefficient]

2x = 30

÷2 ÷2

[divide both sides by 2 to simplify 2x to x]

x = 15

_____

You can also check that both sides are proportional because

5 → x

x = 15

5 → 15

3 → x – 6

x = 15

3 → 9

5 × <u>3</u> = 15

3 × <u>3</u> = 9

Will mark Brainlest!! <br>Help Please!<br>(1). find the domain and range of the following <br>​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the domain. It is given as -1≤x≤1

Now all you have to do is figure out the range which is the y value. At first glance I think it might be 3, but that does not look very logical. I'll post this much of it now and be back in under an hour with a more complete answer.

Of course! How silly of me. There is a minimum of y = 1 in the range which comes from x = 0

I've included a graph so you can see how this all works.

So the range = 1 ≤ y ≤ 3

Find he slope of the following equation for a line:<br> 12x-4y=16
Annette [7]
12x-4y=16
Isolate Y: 
Subtract 12x from both sides 
-4y=-12x+16
Divide by -4 
y=3x-4
Therefore the slope is 3
