Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, three-quarters. A fraction will include two numbers, one above the other. The first number, found above the line, is the numerator. The second number, located below the line, is the denominator. A denominator indicates the total number of equal parts into which something is divided

What is the value of x in the right triangle below? Show your work and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

navik [9.2K]

The length of the hypothenuse or the value of x is equal to 19.53

Data;

hypothenuse = x
adjacent = 11.2
opposite = 16

<h3>Pythagoras's Theorem</h3>

To solve this problem, we have to use Pythagoras's theorem which is used to find the missing side in a right angle triangle if we have at least two sides.

The formula for this is

$x^2 = y^2 + z^2\\$

Let's substitute the values and solve for the missing side

$x^2 = 16^2 + 11.2^2 \\x^2 = 256 + 125.44\\x^2 = 381.44\\x = \sqrt{381.44} \\x = 19.53$

The length of the hypothenuse or the value of x is equal to 19.53

#13. 6x — Зу = 8

Ne4ueva [31]

#13

6x — Зу = 8
3y = 6x - 8
y = 6/3x - 8/3
y = 2x - 8/3

The slope = 2
The y- intercept = - 8/3

#14

7x = 5y + 2
5y = 7x - 2
y = 7/5x - 2/5
y = 1.4x - 0.4

The slope = 1.4
The y- intercept = - 0.4

#15

- 6у + 4х = 8
6y = 4x - 8
y = 4/6x - 8/6
y = 2/3x - 4/3

The slope = 2/3
The y- intercept = -4/3

#16 is not clear

you are allowed to work a total of no more than 30 hours each week at your two jobs. Lawn mowing pays $5 per hour and babysittin

timama [110]

Answer:

5X + 8Y >= 300; intersection at (-20, 50)

Step-by-step explanation:

let t = work hours

0 < t < 30

X = time lawn mowing

Y = time babysitting.

X + Y < 30

5X + 8Y >= 300

We could solve...

X < 30 - Y

5(30 - Y) + 8Y >=300

150 - 5Y + 8Y >= 300

3Y >=150

Y >=50

then X < -20

intersection at (-20, 50)
