Write your answer in the space below

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide both sides by 2.

2. After dividing both sides by we would have:

x + 14 = 20

The next step would be

Subtract 14 from both sides.

3. 2(x + 14) = 40

x + 14 = 20

x = 20 - 14

x = 6.

2x + 28 = 40

2x = 40 - 28

2x = 12

x = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Statements                         Reasons

ABCD is a trapezoid               Given

AD ║ BC                                  bases of trapezoid are parallel

∠AED = ∠CEB                          vertically opposite angles are equal

∠EBC = ∠ADE          alternate interior angles are equal and BD is transversal                

∠ECB = ∠EAD          alternate interior angles are equal and AC is transversal

ΔAED ~ ΔCEB            ∠ECB = ∠EAD & ∠AED = ∠BEC & ∠EBC = ∠ADE

                                all angles are same and their shape is same, so similar

2) hope you can write 2nd one as above two column proof

T is the mid point of QR

U is the mid point of QS

V is the mid point of RS

Definition: The segment of line joining the middle points of two sides of a triangle is called middle segment.

Inference: A middle segment of a triangle is parallel to the third side and its lengths is half the third side's.

so here TU ║ RV and TU = RV  

UV ║ TR and UV = TR

so TUVR becomes a parallelogram

∠TUV = ∠TRV -------->  condition 1

same goes with parallelogram TQUV

∠TQU = ∠UVT ----------> condition 2

same goes with parallelogram TUSV

∠UTV = ∠USV ------------> condition 3

from the above 3 conditions we can say

ΔQRS ~ ΔVUT

3) see the below figure for graph

in both triangles ∠B is common

AC and TS are parallel lines

BC  and BA are transversals

∠C ∠S are equal --> corresponding angles

∠A ∠T are equal ---> corresponding angles

so ΔABC & ΔTBS are similar

Answer:

  x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle marked 125° is angle DPE. The (vertical) angle formed from the rays opposite PD and PE is angle BPA. That angle is divided into two parts by ray PC. One of those parts is angle CPA, shown as 90°. The other part is angle CPB, shown as x°. This means ...

  angle DPE = angle BPA . . . . vertical angles have the same measure

  125° = 90° +x°

  35 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 90

what is a slope of (-20,-4), (-12, -10)

Answers

Answer:

Slope = -¾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points, (-20,-4) and (-12, -10), use the following formula to solve for the slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let (x₁, y₁) = (-20,-4)

     (x₂, y₂) =  (-12, -10)

Substitute these values into the slope formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

[tex]m = \frac{-10 - (-4)}{-12 - (-20)}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-10 + 4}{-12 + 20}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-6}{8}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction into its lowest terms by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2:

[tex]m = \frac{-6}{8}[/tex] ÷  [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]

m = -¾

Therefore, the slope of the line is -¾

(a) Selecting one ball at random, what is the probability of getting a red ball ? (b) If in total there are 5 white balls in the bag, how many black balls are there ? (c) If there are in total 3 red balls in the bag, how many balls are there altogether ?
pls give the way​

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting a red ball, the number of black balls and total balls are 0.3, 2 and 10 respectively.

What is probability?

Probability is the branch of Mathematics that deals with the measurement of the chance of occurrence of a random event.

The probability of any event always lie in the close interval of 0 and 1 [0,1].

Given that,

The probability of getting a black ball is 0.2.

The probability of getting a white ball is 0.5.

(a) As the bag contains only black, white and red balls, the probability of getting a red ball is,

1 - (0.2 + 0.5)

= 0.3

(a) The probability of getting white balls can be written as,

P (white ball) = Number of white balls ÷ Total number of balls

Substitute all the given values to get,

Total number of balls = 5 ÷ 0.5

                                   = 10

Similarly, for black balls it can be written that,

P (black ball) = Number of black balls ÷ Total number of balls

Substitute all the given values to get,

Number of black balls = 10 × 0.2

                                    = 2

(c) When number of red balls are three then,

P (red ball) = Number of red balls ÷ Total number of balls

Substitute all the given values to get,

Total number of balls = 3 ÷ 0.3

                                    = 10.        

Hence, the answers for all the parts are 0.3, 2 and 10 respectively.

about the origin?

Answers

Answer:

(-6,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rotation is 180 degrees, so its means that the direction (clockwise vs counterclockwise) doesn't actually matter. With a rotation of 180 degrees, the preimage is switched to the opposite side of both the y and x-axis. This means that the rule for rotation around 180 is (-h,-k). Therefore, the answer will have the opposite signs. Thus. the image of (6,-7) is (-6,7).
