Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Say x is the number of hours he can rent the detector at most. Using it, we can set up this equation:

15 + 2x = 35

Subtract 15 from both sides

2x = 20

Divide by 2 on both sides

x = 10

The endpoints of EF are E(xE , yE) and F(xF , yF). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of EF?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint of EF is equal to

(\frac{xE+xF}{2},\frac{yE+yF}{2})

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

In this problem we have

(x1,y1)=(xE,yE)

(x2,y2)=(xF,yF)

Substitute the values in the formula

M=(\frac{xE+xF}{2},\frac{yE+yF}{2})

Find the value of y in this equation 16y=164
lawyer [7]
Hey,
To find the value of "y", use the inverse operation of multiplication, which is division. Divide both signs of the equal sign by 16 to isolate the variable, and get it by itself.
\frac{16y}{16}  =  \frac{164}{16}
y = 10.25

Cheers,
Izzy

GEOMETRY! PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Given:

The base of the given triangle has two part:

Left( left side of the hypotenuse) = 25

Right ( right side of the hypotenuse) = x

The altitude (h) = 60

To find the value of x.

Formula:

By Altitude rule we know that, the altitude of a triangle is mean proportional between the right and left part of the hypotenuse,

\frac{left}{altitude} =\frac{altitude}{right}

Now,

Putting,

left = 25, altitude = 60 and right = x we get,

\frac{25}{60} = \frac{60}{x}

or,  (25)(x)=(60)(60) [ by cross multiplication]

or, x= \frac{3600}{25}

or, x=144

Hence,

The value of x is 144.
