Answer: UV = 52

Concept:

Additive property of length, or the segment addition postulate, states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

Solve:

Given information

TU = 4x

UV = 2x + 14

TV = 7x - 5

Given expression deducted from the additive property of length

TV = TU + UV

Substitute values into the expression

7x - 5 = 4x + 2x + 14

Combine like terms

7x - 5 = 6x + 14

Subtract 6x on both sides

7x - 5 - 6x = 6x + 14 - 6x

x - 5 = 14

Add 5 on both sides

x - 5 + 5 = 14 + 5

x = 19

Find UV by substituting the value of x

UV = 2x + 14 = 2 (19) + 14 = $\boxed{52}$

Hope this helps!! :)

2x + 3 + 4x + 8 = 3x - 10

vodomira [7]

$\text {Hello! Let's solve this Equation!}$

$\text {Your First Step is to Simplify the Equation:}$

$\text {(2x+4x)+(8+3)}$

$\text {6x+11=3x-10}$

$\text {The Next Step is to Subtract 3x:}$

$\text {6x+11-3x=3x-10-3x}\\\text {3x+11=-10}$

$\text {Next Step is to Subtract 11:}$

$\text {Q: Why Subtract 11?}$

$\text {A: So they cancel out. We cross them out once we subtract.}$

$\text {3x+11-11=-10-11}\\\text {3x=-21}$

$\text {The Final Step is to Divide 3:}$

$\text {3x/3=-21/3}$

$\text {Your Answer will be}$

$\fbox {x=-7}$

$\text {Best of Luck!}$

$\text {-LimitedX}$

During a test period, an experimental group of 10 vehicles using an 85 percent ethanol-gasoline mixture showed mean CO2 emission

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Probably unequal ( B )

Step-by-step explanation:

experimental group = 10

using 85% ethanol gasoline

mean = 240 pounds per 100 miles

standard deviation = 20 pounds

control group = 14 vehicles

using regular gasoline

mean = 252 pounds per 100 miles

standard deviation = 15 pounds

comparing the sample variance of each group shows that they are probably unequal using the equation below

Variance for a sample set of data = ∑ ( x - X ) ^2 / n - 1

where n = number of events

X = mean value

x = value of events
