Answer:

y= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-2y+16=-5y+40

−2y=−5y+40−16

−2y=−5y+24

−2y+5y=24

3y=24

y= 24/3

y= 8

What is the vertex?? Please answer QUICK!
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain vertex form from the given equation use the method of completing the square

given 8y + x² = - y² - 181 + 26x

rearrange having the x terms and y terms together

add y² to both sides

8y + x² + y² = - 181 + 26x ( subtract 26x from both sides )

x² - 26x + y² + 8y = - 181

add (half the coefficient of the x/y terms )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 13)x + 169 +y² + 2(4)y + 16 = - 181 + 169 + 16

completing the square on both the x and y terms

(x - 13)² + (y + 4)² = 4 → D

HELP ME ON THIS PLEASE!!!! SHOW WORK!!!!
Mumz [18]

Answer:

<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AC}{AJ}=\dfrac{AB}{AK}

We have:

AC = 1 + 4 = 5

AJ = 1

AB = 1 + x

AK = 1

Substitute:

\dfrac{5}{1}=\dfrac{1+x}{1}

5=1+x           <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

4=x\to x=4

2.

ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{VU}{VM}=\dfrac{VT}{VN}

We hve:

VU = x + 8

VM = x

VT = 49

VN = 49 - 14 = 35

Substitute:

\dfrac{x+8}{x}=\dfrac{49}{35}              <em>cross multiply</em>

35(x+8)=49x          <em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>

35x+280=49x              <em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>

280=14x         <em>divide both sides by 14</em>

20=x\to x=20

Which do you think will have a greater value, 1/8 of one pound gold or 1/4 of lead? Why?
Ivenika [448]
<span>if you multiply 1/8 by 4, the fraction become 4/32, and if you multiply 1/4 by 8 you get 8/32.Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can find which fraction has the greater value. Since 1/4(8/32) has a greater numerator, the 1 pound of lead will have a larger value.</span>
