Answers

Answer 1

The value of x is -10. Steve made mistake in step 3 while transposing constant term and simplify.

The given equation is 8(2x + 7) = 6(x - 7) - 2.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.

The given equation can be solved as follows:

8(2x + 7) = 6(x - 7) - 2

⇒ 16x+56 = 6x-42-2

⇒ 16x+56 = 6x-44

⇒ 16x-6x = -44-56

⇒ 10x = -100

⇒ x = -10

Therefore, the value of x is -10. Steve made mistake in step 3 while transposing constant term and simplify.

Use the definition of congruence to decide whether the two figures are congruent
Someone help please

Answers

Answer:

These two figures are not congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of congruence is, "In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.", now knowing this we next take a look at the figures.

Coordinates (A, E) do not match up with the bottom figures (P, T). The next coordinates (E, D) also don't match up with coordinates (T, S). Coordinates (A, B) and (P, Q) don't match up together either. (B, O), (Q, R), (O, D), or (R, S) also do not match up if you look closely at them. Now you can conclude that although these two figures may look alike at first glance, their points are put in different places showing that they aren't the same in shape and size; meaning they are not congruent.

Two figures are congruent if their dimensions are equal

ABCDE = PQRST therefore, ABCDE ≅ PQRST, by the definition of congruency

Reason:

The coordinates of pentagon ABCDE are;

A(-2, 8), E(4, 8), D(6, 2), C(-2, 2), B(-4, 6)

The coordinates of pentagon PQRST are;

P(-3, 0), T(3, 0), S(5, -6), R(-3, -6), Q(-5, -2)

By performing the vector translation of [tex]\dbinom {1}{8}[/tex], to PQRST, we have;

P(-3 + 1, 0 + 8) = (-2, 8) = Coordinates of A

T(3 + 1, 0 + 8) = (4, 8) = Coordinates of E

S(5 + 1, -6 + 8) = (6, 2) = = Coordinates of D

R(-3 + 1, -6 + 8) = (-2, 2) = = Coordinates of C

Q(-5 + 1, -2 + 8) = (-4, 6) = = Coordinates of B

Given that a translation is a rigid transformation and  that by performing a translation transformation of [tex]\dbinom {1}{8}[/tex], on PQRST gives ABCDE, we have that the dimensions of the pentagon ABCDE = The dimensions of the pentagon PQRST, we have;

ABCDE = PQRST

Therefore;

ABCDE ≅ PQRST, by the definition of congruency

You might just think that I subtracted but on the triangle the last side is the base which is always smaller.

Answer: The answers are 4, 8, 10


To solve, you must use the Triangle Inequality Rule -


Subtract 7-4=3; therefore, the 3rd side must be greater than 3

Add 7+4=11; therefore, the 3rd side must also be less than 11

Any number greater than 3 or less than 11 would be correct.

the 4 ordered pairs for the given proportional relation are (1, 7), (2, 14), (3, 21), (4, 28).

How to find the set of ordered pairs?

Here we know that the sloth travels about 7 feet every minute, then we can define the speed as:

S = 7 ft/min

Now remember the relation:

distance = speed*time

Then the proportional relation is:

D = 7*t

The ordered pairs are of the form (t, D)

if t = 1.

D = 7*1 = 7

if t = 2

D = 7*2 = 14

if t = 3

D = 7*3 = 21

if t = 4

D = 7*4 = 28

Then the 4 ordered pairs are (1, 7), (2, 14), (3, 21), (4, 28).

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation y=5x? (-2, 10) (-5, 25) (-3, 15) (-2, 10)

Answers

One of the solutions of the given equation y = 5x is (2,10)

The solution of an equation means if we substitute the value of this solution into the equation, it will produce the correct equality from the left side to the right side.

If the solution has 2 variables, for example x and y, and the solution is (a,b) means that if we replace x with a and y with b, the equality is correct.

The given equation is: y = 5x

For option (-2,10), substitute x = -2 and y = 10 into the equation:

10 = 5 . (-2)

10 = -10 (False)

Hence (-2,10) is not a solution.

For option (-5, 25), substitute x = -5 and y = 25 into the equation:

25 = 5 . (-5)

25 = -25 (False)

Hence (-5, 25) is not a solution.

For option (-3, 15), substitute x = -3 and y = 15 into the equation:

15 = 5 . (-3)

15 = -15 (False)

Hence (-3, 15) is not a solution.

There is no options in the problem that gives the correct equality. Looks like there is a typo.

Example of a solution of the given equation is (2,10), since if we substitute x = 2 and y = 10 into the equation:

10 = 5 . (2)

10 = 10 (True)

Hence (2, 10) is a solution.

the midpoint of AB is M (4,0). if the coordinates of A are (3, 1), what are the coordinates of B?

Answers

The coordinates of point B are (5, -1) if the midpoint of AB is M(4, 0) and the coordinates of A are (3, 1).

Let the coordinates of point B are (x, y).

According to the give question.

The midpoint of AB is M(4, 0).

The coordinates of A are (3, 1).

Therefore, the coordinates of points B are given by

(4, 0)  = ( (3 + x)/2,  (1 + y)/2)

⇒ (3 + x)/2 = 4, and (1 + y)/2  = 0

⇒ 3 + x = 8 and 1 + y = 0

⇒ x = 8 - 3   and   y = -1

⇒ x = 5 and y = -1

Hence, the coordinates of point B are (5, -1) if the midpoint of AB is M(4, 0) and the coordinates of A are (3, 1).
