E is the midpoint of DF, DE = 3x + 4 and EF = 5x - 2. Find DE, EF, and DF.

Mathematics

Alisiya [41]3 years ago

Since E is the midpoint of DF, DE and EF are two halves of DF. First, let's write down what we know.

DE = 3x + 4

EF = 5x - 2

DE = EF

DE + EF = DF

Now, let's plug our values for DE and EF into our first expression.

3x + 4 = 5x -2

Add 2 to both sides and subtract 3x from both sides.

6 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

3 = x

Let's plug 3 in for x into DE.

DE = 3x + 4 = 3(3) + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13

DE = EF = 13

We can plug 13 in for DE and EF to get DF

DF = DE + EF = 13 + 13 = 26

Justin wants to use 376 ft of fencing to fence off the greatest possible rectangular area for a garden. what dimensions should h
Rina8888 [55]
Let the length be x and the width be y
the perimeter of the rectangle will be:
2x+2y=376
thus 
y=188-x
thus the area will be:
A(x)=x(188-x)
A(x)=188x-x^2

For maximum Area A'(x)=0
from Area we shall have
A'(x)=188-2x=0
solving for x we get:
x=94
thus the width will be:
188-94=94
thus for maximum area the length=94 ft and width=94 ft
Area=94*94=8836 ft^2
thus the answer is:
<span>c. 94 x 94; 8836ft </span>

Maxine can swim 240 meters in 4 minutes. What is Maxine's unit rate?
BabaBlast [244]
Answer: A) 18.2 minutes
B) 4.5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Maxine can mow one lawn in 24 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/24 of the lawn per minute.
Sammie can mow one lanw in 36 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/36 of the lawn per minute.
The amount of the lawn that each has left to lawn by the minute x is:
Maxine = 1 -(1/24)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/36)*x
we want to find the value of x such that:
2*(1 - (1/24)*x) = 1 - *(1/36)*x
which means that the amount that Sammie has left is two times the amount that Maxine has left to mow.
2 - (1/12)*x = 1 - (1/36)*x
2 - 1 = (1/12 - 1/36)*x
1/0.055 = x = 18.2
by the minute 18.2
B) Similar to before, here the rates are:
For Maxine, R = 1/6
For Sammie, R = 1/9
The amount they have left to mow by minute x is:
Maxine = 1 - (1/6)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/9)*x
We want to solve, similar to before.
2( 1 - (1/6)*x) = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - (1/3)*x = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - 1 = (1/3 - 1/9)*x
1 = (2/9)*x
1*9/2 = x = 4.5
So here the solution is 4.5 minutes. Hope this helps

12-4(x+2)=48<br><br> is x 7 or -7? or a different number?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

x=-11

Step-by-step explanation:

12-4(x+2)=48

Subtract 12 from each side

12-12-4(x+2)=48-12

-4(x+2)=36

Divide by -4

-4(x+2)/-4=36/-4

x+2 = -9

Subtract 2

x+2-2 = -9-2

x=-11
