Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

  • 7x-2-5x=5x+14-5x
  • 2x-2=14  

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

  • 2x-2+2=14+2
  • 2x=16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

  • 2x/2=16/2
  • x=8

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

  • 7(8)-2=5(8)+14
  • 56-2=40+14
  • 54=54

Therefore, x = 8.

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-2=5x+14

collect like terms (remember when taking a value across the equality sign name sure the sign of the value changes)

7x-5x=14+2

2x=16

divides both sides by the value of x

x=16/2

x=8

Since it is given that AB ≅ AC, it must also be true that AB = AC. Assume ∠B and ∠C are not congruent. Then the measure of one a
BartSMP [9]

Answer: The required conclusion is

"if in triangle ABC, AB ≅ AC, then ∠B and ∠C must be congruent".

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in triangle ABC,  AB ≅ AC, implies that AB = AC must be true. We are given to assume ∠B and ∠C are not congruent. Then the measure of one angle is greater than the other.

If m∠B > m∠C, then AC > AB because of the triangle parts relationship theorem.

For the same reason, if m∠B < m∠C, then AC < AB.

This is a contradiction to the given information.

We are to state the conclusion.

Since in the beginning, it is given that AB ≅ AC and we have assumed that ∠B and ∠C are not congruent, so

our assumption must be wrong.

That is, ∠B and ∠C must be congruent.

Thus, the required conclusion is

if in triangle ABC, AB ≅ AC, then ∠B and ∠C must be congruent.

What would the amplitude be? How do I find it? Should I add 1.25+6.75 then divide by 2 ?
Elis [28]

Answer:

2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The amplitude is half of the difference between the highest and lowest y-coordinates.

amplitude = 0.5|6.75 - 1.25| = 0.5(5.5) = 2.75
