Answer:

5.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that this point is on segment LM, with the distance between this point and L\! being (3/5) the distance between L to M.

It could be shown (using a pair of similar right triangles) that the (3/5) ratio applies not only to the (sloped) distance between this point and L, but to the vertical distance as well.

The vertical distance between this point and L\! would also be (3/5) the vertical distance between \! L and M.

The vertical distance between \! L and M is the difference between their y coordinates, 8 - 1 = 7.

The vertical distance between this point and L would be (3/5) of the vertical distance between L\! and M\!, 7 \times (3/5) = 21/5.

Since M\! is above L\!, any point on the segment between these two points would also be above L. Add the vertical distance between \! L and the requested point to the y coordinate of L\!\! to find the y\! coordinate of the requested point: (21/5) + 1 = 26/5 = 5.2.

Answer: 71/30 or 2 and 11/30 yards

Work:
You need to add each fraction together in order to find the total amount of fabric. You should do this by finding common denominators (the number on the bottom of the fraction) and then combining fractions. 
Since the order of adding doesn't matter, you should combine the fractions that are the easiest first. Start with adding 1/2 and 1/3. The common denominator is 6, since that is the LCM of 2 and 3. The fractions then become 3/6 and 2/6 which combine into 5/6. It is then easy to add the other 5/6 of a yard from the question to the 5/6 you have just found into 10/6. 
Then come over to the 3/10 and 2/5 yard pieces which can be easily added together using 10 as the common denominator. These two fractions added together become 7/10.
The final step is to add the 7/10 plus the 10/6. The common denominator is 30, as it is the LCM of 10 and 6. The new fractions become 21/30 plus 50/30 which equals 71/30.

What does x equal in x^3-9x+1=0
12345 [234]
X^3 -9x+1= 0 (minus 1)

X^3-9x=-1 (divide by 9)

x^3-x=-1/9

But it doesn’t work any further so you have written it wrong

What valur of x makes the equation below true? 9^5 * 9^7=9^x
klasskru [66]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

(9^5)(9^7)=9^x

282429536481=9^x

<em>Step 1: Flip the equation.</em>

9^x=282429536481

<em>Step 2: Solve Exponent.</em>

9^x=282429536481

log(9^x)=log(282429536481)(Take log of both sides)

x*(log(9))=log(282429536481)

x=log(282429536481)/log(9)

x=12

What is the measure of ABC and please show me how to do it
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Arc length from A to C (red line) is the given inside angle times 2, so AC = 50*2 = 100 degrees.

A full circle is 360 degrees, so arc ABC (blue line) would be 360 - 100 = 260 degrees.

The answer is D.
