Rihanna works in a coffee shop approximately nine miles from her apartment She bikes every day from her apartment to the coffee

shop and then back to her apartment in the evening. However, on her way to work, she always stops halfway through to meet her best friend at a park. If the distance from apartment to the park is (5x +2) miles and the trip from the park to the coffee shop is (25x -8) miles long, then what is the value of x?

Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When we add up the distance between the apartment and park with the distance between the park and the coffee shop, the total will equal nine miles.

Our equation will look like this:

(5x + 2) + (25x - 8) = 9

Add up the like terms

5x + 2 + 25x - 8 = 9

30x - 6 = 9

Add 6 to both sides

30x - 6 = 9

      + 6  + 6

30x = 15

Divide both sides by the coefficient, 30, to isolate the variable, x

30x/30 = 15/30

x = 15/30

Reduce

x = 1/2

Three vertices of the trapezoid are A(4d,4e), B(4f,4e), and C(4g,0). The fourth vertex lies on the origin. Find the midpoint of
satela [25.4K]
We have that

point C and point D have y = 0-----------> (the bottom of the trapezoid).

point A and point B have y = 4e ---------- > (the top of the trapezoid)

the y component of  midpoint would be halfway between these lines
 y = (4e+ 0)/2 = 2e. 

<span>the x component of the midpoint of the midsegment would be halfway between the midpoint of AB and the midpoint of CD.

x component of midpoint of AB is (4d + 4f)/2.
x component of midpoint of CD is (4g + 0)/2 = 4g/2.
x component of a point between the two we just found is
[(4d + 4f)/2 + 4g/2]/2 = [(4d + 4f + 4g)/2]/2 = (4d + 4f + 4g)/4 = d + f + g. 

</span>therefore

the midpoint of the midsegment is (d + f + g, 2e)

Find the equation of the line parallel to y=2x+6 passing through (4,5)
ozzi

Answer:

y=2x-3

when two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.

in the formula y=mx+b, m=slope of the line

we know 2 will be the slope for the line passing through (4,5)

next plug in (4,5) into the formula with 2 as the slope

4=x 5=y

next 5=2(4)+b

and you end up with

y=2x-3 when you simplify

What are the steps to solving this problem K + 8\5 = 1k
DaniilM [7]

-- Subtract K from each side of the equation.

8/5 = 0

-- There is no value for K that can make this a true statement. So the original equation has no solution.

Claire walked her dog 2 1/5 miles. Carson walked her dog 1 3/4 times as far as Claire did. How many more miles did Carson walk h
Anon25 [30]

The word "times" means you have to multiply.

2 1/5 times 1 3/4 is 3 17/20.

The phrase "how many more" means you have to subtract.

3 17/20 minus 2 1/5 is 1 13/20.

Carson walked her dog 1 13/20 more miles than Claire did.

Sorry for the lazy explanations Imao
