Point W is on line segment V X. Given VX = 18 and VW = 14 determine the length W X

Mathematics

Answer: WX = 4

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of segment addition postulate.

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:

<u>Given information</u>

VX = 18

VW = 14

<u>Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate</u>

WX = VX - VW

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

WX = 18 - 14

<u>Simplify by subtraction</u>

WX = 4

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

When using Cramer's Rule to solve a system of equations, if the determinant of the coefficient matrix equals zero and neither nu
o-na [289]
The answer would be A. When using Cramer's Rule to solve a system of equations, if the determinant of the coefficient matrix equals zero and neither numerator determinant is zero, then the system has infinite solutions. It would be hard finding this answer when we use the Cramer's Rule so instead we use the Gauss Elimination. Considering the equations:

x + y = 3 and <span>2x + 2y = 6
Determinant of the equations are </span>
<span>| 1 1 | </span>
<span>| 2 2 | = 0
</span>
the numerator determinants would be
<span>| 3 1 | . .| 1 3 | </span>
<span>| 6 2 | = | 2 6 | = 0.
Executing Gauss Elimination, any two numbers, whose sum is 3, would satisfy the given system. F</span>or instance (3, 0), <span>(2, 1) and (4, -1). Therefore, it would have infinitely many solutions. </span>

The Hydro water department has a monthly service charge of $13.90 and a volume charge of $1.45 for every 100 cubic feet of water
erik [133]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you can disregard the initial $13.90 cost because we're only looking for an INCREASE in price. If the Johnson family used 200 cubic feet MORE of water, we need to multiply 2 * 1.45 which gets us 2.90. We multiply 2 by 1.45 because 200 represented in x is 2, since x is represented in hundreds.

The top of a house is 32 feet above ground. The basement floor is 12 feet below
lys-0071 [83]

12 feet below would be -12. from -12 to 0 would be 12 feet.

from 0 to 32 above would be 32 feet.

Total distance = 12 + 32 = 44 feet.
