numbers

Sphinxa [80]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers are:

a, b, and c

the equation would be:

a+b+c = 131

c = 4a

b = a+5

=>

a + a+5 +4a = 131

6a +5 = 131

6a = 131-5

6a = 126

a= 126/6

a = 21

b = a+5 = 21+5

b = 26

c = 4a = 4(21)

c = 84

I suppose you just have to simplify this expression.

(2ˣ⁺² - 2ˣ⁺³) / (2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²)

Divide through every term by the lowest power of 2, which would be <em>x</em> + 1 :

… = (2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺³/2ˣ⁺¹) / (2ˣ⁺¹/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹)

Recall that <em>n</em>ª / <em>n</em>ᵇ = <em>n</em>ª⁻ᵇ, so that we have

… = (2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺³⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾) / (2⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾)

… = (2¹ - 2²) / (2⁰ - 2¹)

… = (2 - 4) / (1 - 2)

… = (-2) / (-1)

… = 2

Another way to get the same result: rewrite every term as a multiple of <em>y</em> = 2ˣ :

… = (2²×2ˣ - 2³×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 2²×2ˣ)

… = (4×2ˣ - 8×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 4×2ˣ)

… = (4<em>y</em> - 8<em>y</em>) / (2<em>y</em> - 4<em>y</em>)

… = (-4<em>y</em>) / (-2<em>y</em>)

… = 2

In the figure, AB║CD and ∠EIA is congruent to ∠GJB Complete the following statements to prove that ∠IKL is congruent to ∠DLH.
REY [17]

Here it is given that AB || CD

< EIA = <GJB

Now

∠EIA ≅ ∠IKC and ∠GJB is ≅ ∠ JLD (Corresponding angles)

∠EIA  ≅ ∠GJB then ∠IKC ≅ ∠ JLD (Substitution Property of Congruency)

∠IKL + ∠IKC 180° and ∠DLH +  ∠JLD =180° (Linear Pair Theorem)

So

m∠IKL + m∠IKC = 180°       ....(1)

But ∠IKC  ≅ ∠JLD

m∠IKC = m∠JLD (SUBTRACTION PROPERTY OF CONGRUENCY)

So we have

m∠IKL + m∠JLD = 180°

∠IKL and ∠JLD are supplementary angles.

But ∠DLH and ∠JLD are supplementary angles.

∠IKL ≅ ∠DLH (CONGRUENT SUPPLEMENTS THEOREM)
