Point M is the midpoint of CD. What is the value of a in the figure?

Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (a, b) and (c,d), the midpoint of the points will be at

((a+c)/2, ((b+d)/2)

Therefore, given (9, 2) and (a,2a), our midpoint is at

((9+a)/2, (2+2a)/2) = (6,4)

Matching the x values to their corresponding x values and doing the same with the y values, we get

(9+a)/2 = 6

(2+2a)/2 = 4

First, we have

(9+a)/2 = 6

multiply both sides by 2 to remove the denominator

9+a = 12

subtract 9 from both sides to isolate a

a = 3

2a = 2 * a = 6

Confirming this, we have

(2+2a)/2 = 4

(2+6)/2 = 4

8/2=4

Find 2 consecutive even numbers such that the sum of the
Elena L [17]

Answer:

14,16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first even number.

Let y be the 2nd even number.

Given, y - x = 2 (Since they are 2 consecutive even numbers.)

rearranging the equation: y = x+2 (equation 1)

Also given,

y+2x=44\\ (equation 2)

Now we can substitute equation 1 into equation 2 to find x.

x+2+2x = 44\\3x+2 = 44\\3x = 44-2\\3x=42\\x = \frac{42}{3} \\x = 14

Given the smaller even number x, is 14, we will substitute x into equation1 to find y, the bigger even number.

y = 14+2

= 16

Therefore the 2 numbers are 14 and 16.

Solve the system by the elimination method. -2x + y + 6 = 0 2x + y - 8 = 0 When you eliminate x, what is the resulting equation?
Dmitry [639]

I see you want to solve    -2x + y + 6 = 0 2x + y - 8 = 0    simultaneously.  Next time, please put each equation on its own line, like this:

-2x + y + 6 = 0

 2x + y - 8 = 0

or separate the two equations with "and" or some other symbol.

We can easily eliminate x by adding these 2 equations together:

-2x + y + 6 = 0 

 2x + y - 8 = 0

-------------------

       2y - 2 = 0, which yields y = 1.    This is the equation called for in this problem.                             You were not asked to find x.

Determine dois números ímpares consecutivo cujo produto seja 195
miv72 [106K]
Let 1st integer  = xLet 2nd integer = x + 1 We set up an equation. x(x + 1) = 195 x2 + x = 195 x2 + x - 195 = 0

We will use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac) / (2a) x = (-1 ± √(1 - 4(-195))) / 2 x = (-1 ± √(781)) / 2 x = (-1 ± 27.95) / 2 x = 13.48x = -14.78 
<span>We determine which value of x when substituted gives us a product of 195.</span> 13.48(14.48) = 195.19-14.48(-13.48) = 195.19 <span>The solution is 2 sets of two consecutive number</span> <span>Set 1</span> The 1st consecutive integer is 13.48The 2nd consecutive integer is 14.48 
<span>Set 2</span> The 1st consecutive integer is -14.48The 2nd consecutive integer is -13.48Hopefully this helped, hard work lol :)

One person can do a certain job in six days, a second person can do the same job in two days, and a third person can do this job
jok3333 [9.3K]
First find their rates...

1/6, 1/2, and 1/3  now combined they will perform the job in one day if:

t/6+t/2+t/3=1  make all have a common denominator

t/6+3t/6+2t/6=6/6 which is equal to:

6t=6 so

t=1

So if they all work together they will complete the job in one day.
