Using the principle of parallel lines, the value of x in the given triangle is calculated to be 8

<u>The</u><u> </u><u>smaller</u><u> </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>can be</u><u> </u><u>expressed</u><u> </u><u>as</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Side / base = 6/x ----(1)

<u>The</u><u> </u><u>larger</u><u> </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>can</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>expressed</u><u> </u><u>as</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Side / base
  • Side = 6+9 = 15
  • 15/20 - - - - - (2)

<u>Equating</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

6/x = 15 / 20

15x = 20 × 6

15x = 120

x = 120 / 15

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x in the triangle is 8.

Y=-2/3x+3 please show the work thank you ;)
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-2%2F3 and the y-intercept is b=3

Since b=3 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point

Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means

slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -2%2F3, this means:

rise%2Frun=-2%2F3

which shows us that the rise is -2 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 2 and over 3

So starting at , go down 2 units

and to the right 3 units to get to the next point

Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3

So this is the graph of y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3 through the points  and

hjlf

Answer:

  • 32598720

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Combination for the school government requires:</u>

  • 5 out of 8 seniors = 8! / 3!5! = 6*7*8/2*3 = 7*8 = 56
  • 4 out of 9 juniors = 9! / 4!5! = 6*7*8*9/2*3*4= 7*2*9 = 126
  • 3 out of 12 sophomores = 12! / 3!9! = 10*11*12/2*3 = 10*11*2 = 220
  • 2 out of 7 fishermen = 7! / 2!5! = 6*7/2 = 21

<u>So number of total ways is:</u>

  • 56*126*220*21 = 32598720
