Answer:

$5x - 6 = 3x + 4 \\ 5x - 3x = 4 + 6 \\ 2x = 10 \\ x = 10 \div2 \\ x = 5 \\ length \: of \: xy = 3 \times 5 + 4 \\ = 15 + 4 \\ = 19$

Answer: 19

Step-by-step explanation:

From the properties of the kite, we know that line segment XY is congruent to line segment ZY. Keep in mind, the variable we need to solve for this question is x!

From this, we can say that;

3x+4=5x-6

Plus 6 on both sides to get

3x+10=5x

Minus 3x on both sides to get

10=2x

divide both sides by 2 to get

5=x

now plug the x value 5, into the equation XY

3 times 5 + 4

multiplication goes first!

15+4=19

Mashcka [7]

Answer: he would receive a rebate of $1677.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A General Motors buyer-incentive program offered a 5.5% rebate on the selling price of a new car. This means that if the selling price of the new car is $x, the rebate (in dollars) that a customer would receive is

5.5/100 × x = 0.055 × x = 0.055x

Therefore, for a customer who purchased a $30,500 car under this program, the rebate that he would receive is

0.055 × 30500 = $1677.5

Using the properties of inequalities, write down the inequality that you will get if you: add the number –5; 2.7; 7; to both sid

puteri [66]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

1..........................

18 >−7

Add –5; 2.7; 7 to both sides

18 -5 > -7 - 5 ⇒ 13 > -12
18 + 2.7 > - 7 + 2.7 ⇒ 20.7 > - 43
18 + 7 > -7 + 7 ⇒ 25 > 0

2..........................

5 > -3

Subtract 2; 12; -5 from both sides

5 - 2 > -3 -2 ⇒ 3 > - 5
5 - 12 > -3 - 12 ⇒ -7 > -15
5 -(-5) > -3 - (-5) ⇒ 10 > 2

3..........................

- 9 < -6

Multiply both sides by 3; −3; −1

<em>When multiplying both sides of inequality by positive number the sign stays as is, when multiplying both sides of inequality by negative number the sign reverses</em>
