how is the answer 4?? ​

The length of the [tex]\overline{QT}[/tex] can be determined using the given information and

the relationship between corresponding sides of similar triangles.

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

[tex]\overline{ST} \parallel \overline{PQ}[/tex]

ST = QT + 5

RT = 10

PQ = 15

Required: The length of [tex]\overline{QT}[/tex]

Solution:

Using the relationship between corresponding sides of similar triangles, ΔRST and ΔRPQ, we have;

RQ = QT + RT

Therefore;

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\overline{QT} + 5}{\overline{RT}} = \frac{\overline{PQ}}{\overline{QT} + \overline{RT}}[/tex]

Plugging in the known values gives;

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\overline{QT} + 5}{10} = \mathbf{\frac{15}{\overline{QT} + 10}}[/tex]

[tex](\overline{QT} + 5) \times (\overline{QT} + 10) = 10 \times 15[/tex]

[tex]\overline{QT}^2 + 10\cdot \overline{QT} + 5\cdot \overline{QT} + 50 = 10 \times 15[/tex]

[tex]\overline{QT}^2 + 15\cdot \overline{QT} + 50 - 150= 0[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\overline{QT}^2 + 15\cdot \overline{QT} -100} = 0[/tex]

Factorizing with a graphing calculator gives;

[tex](\overline{QT} -5) \cdot (\overline{QT} + 20)= 0[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\overline{QT} = 5} \ or \ \overline{QT} = -20[/tex]

Therefore, given that [tex]\overline{QT}[/tex] is a natural number, we have;

[tex]\underline{\overline{QT} = 5}[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) ∠ABD + ∠DBC = 90°

4x - 3 + 7x - 6 = 90

4x + 7x - 3 - 6 = 90

       11x -  9     = 90

              11x    = 90 + 9

              11x    = 99

                   x = 99/11

x = 9

∠ABD = 4*9 - 3 = 36 - 3 = 33

Answer:

arc RS = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the inscribed angle SQR is half the measure of its intercepted arc RS , then

2x + 14 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (6x + 6) = 3x + 3 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

14 = x + 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

11 = x

Then

RS = 6x + 6 = 6(11) + 6 = 66 + 6 = 72°

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the slope of this line, we can use the formula [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] since we're given the two points from the line.

2. (Solving)

Therefore, the slope is -3.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever it asks for the equation of a vertical line all you have to do is look at the x point given to you which is 4 and make x = 4, doing this means that this certain vertical line covers all possible y values which includes -9 as well which is why the answer is x=4

Answer:

x²-3x - 8 2(x + 1)

Explanation

Find common denominator and write the nu merators above common denominator:

x(x + 1) − (2x + 4) × 2

2(x + 1)

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law :

x² + x - 4x = 8

2(x + 1)

Reorder and gather like terms:

x² + (x − 4x) — 8

2(x + 1)

Collect coefficients for the like terms:

x² + (1-4) × x-8

2(x + 1)

Calculate the sum or difference:x²-3x -8

2(x + 1)

Answer:

x²-3x - 8

2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

So in a linear function, it follows the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope of the graph (rise/run) and b is the y-intercept.  

Since b is (-13) that is the y-intercept.

This can also be confirmed by making x=0 since that is where the y-intercept occurs.

y=5x-13

y=5(0)-13

y=-13

To find the x-intercept, we need to make y equal zero since that is where x-intercepts are found.

0=5x-13

(now solve using algebra to isolate x)

(add 13 to both sides)

13=5x

(divide 5 from both sides)

13/5 = x

2.6=x

Your y-intercept is -13 and the x-intercept is 13/5.

Hope this Helps :D

Answer:

x-intercept: (2.6, 0) or  [tex](\frac{13}{5},0)[/tex]

y-intercept: (0, -13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the equation is written in slope-intercept form using the formula

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

b = y-intercept

y-intercept will be (0, -13)

To find x-intercept basically substitute 0 for y and solve for x

so x-intercept will be [tex](\frac{13}{5},0)[/tex] or simplified (2.6, 0)

[tex](x {}^{2} - 4) {}^{2} [/tex]

Answer:

Yes, Emily is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a - sign in front of a number in parenthesis that is negative, then what you are doing is taking the opposite of that negative number. Remember that the opposite of a negative number is a positive number. In this case, we want the opposite of negative five. What is that? It is +45, or 45. So yes, Emily is correct.

Answer:

Rational numbers can be depicted on the number line. The centre of the number line is called Origin (O). Positive rational numbers are illustrated on the right side of zero (called origin), and negative on left side of origin. The representation of rational numbers on the number line depends on the type of fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers on the number line increase as one moves from left to right and decrease on moving from right to left. Here, fractions and decimals have been represented on the number line. A number line can also be used to represent both positive and negative integers as well.

6p + 12 - 2 = 8p + 4

6p + 10 = 8p + 4

6p - 8p = 4 - 10

-2p = -6

2p = 6

p = 3

Answer:

p = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify. Combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same variable as well as same amount of said variable:

6p + (12 - 2) = 8p + 4

6p + (10) = 8p + 4

Isolate the variable, p. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Addition

Subtraction

First, subtract 8p and 10 from both sides of the equation:

6p (-8p) + 10 (-10) = 8p (-8p) + 4 (-10)

6p - 8p = 4 - 10

-2p = -6

Next, isolate the variable, p, by dividing -2 from both sides of the equations:

(-2p)/-2 = (-6)/-2

p = -6/-2

p = 3

Answer:

Whats A?

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

(4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this system of equations using the elimination method.

In order to use the elimination method there must be two variables with the same coefficient. Note that the coefficients don't have to have the same sign ( eg. 6 and -6 would work ). If there are two similar variables with similar coefficients then you can add or subtract, depending on the signs of the coefficients, the two equations "eliminating" the variable. There would then be one variable left over in which you can solve for.

For this case, both equations have 7x, one negative 7 and one positive 7. When the signs are different you add the two equations. So our first step is to add the two equations

7x - 4y = -44

+ (-7x -3y = 16 )

-----------------------

Remove parenthesis

7x -4y = -44

-7x -3y = +16

------------------

0x - 7y = -28

We are left with -7y = -28.

Because there is now only one variable, we can solve for it.

-7y = -28

divide both sides by -7

y = 4

Now we want to find the value of x. We can do this by plugging in the value of y into one of the equations and then solving for x. Note that we can plug in 4 for y into either equation and solve for x and we would get the same answer.

7x - 3y = 16

y = 4

7x - 3(4) = 16

multiply 4 and -3

7x - 12 = 16

add 12 to both sides

7x = 28

divide both sides by 7

x = 4

So x = 4 and y = 4 so the solution to the system of equations is (4,4)

Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

  y = one time fee

  35x = hourly rate( hours worked)

  35x + y = $190

   y =  - 35x = 190

  $35 per hours ×  hours work and you did not used the total cost $190

Next time rewrite the sentence and translate into an equation.

The  customers service charges = one-time fee + hourly rate$ ( hours worked)

                                          190   =  y + 35(x)    point slope form

                                        - 35x + 190 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = the sum of the three sided of the triangle.

In an isosceles triangle, there are two equal sides and  a base.

Perimeter = ( 3x - 6) + (3x - 6) + x

            58 = 7x - 12

            58 + 12 = 7x

                   70  = 7x

                    [tex]\frac{70}{7} = \frac{7x}{7}[/tex]

                    10 = x

Answer:

54 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a triangle has to have 180 degrees in all. we also know that the bottom lines is a straight angle, so 180 degrees.

using this information, we can find n. We know that n+78 is 180, so n=102

We also know that o+102+24=180, so

o=54

original height plus 3 times 8 7/12 inches

3 times 8 7/12 can be done by converting the mixed number to an improper fraction:

[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] · [tex]\frac{103}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{103}{4}[/tex] = 25 3/4
