Let C be between D and E. Use the segment addition postulate to solve for m. DC = 6m − 21 CE = 7m − 18 DE = 65 a. –3 c. 13 b. 5 d. 8

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: D-C-E

DC = 6m - 21
CE = 7m - 18
DE = 65

DC + CE = DE
6m - 21 + 7m - 18 = 65
13m - 39 = 65
13m = 65 + 39
13m = 104
m = 104/13
m = 8

DC = 6m - 21 = 6(8) - 21 = 48 - 21 = 27
CE = 7m - 18 = 7(8) - 18 = 56 - 18 = 38

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Solve.In five years, Kate will be twice as old as Joey. Right now, Kate is 11 years older than Joey. How old is Joey right now?

I need two variables and two equations. And please solve it.

Answers

lets make k equal to Kate's age and j equal to Joey's age.  If in 5 years Kate will be twice as old as Joe, you can write the equation k+5=2(j+5) and then simplify it to make it easier to work with.
k+5=2(j+5)
k+5=2j+10
k+5-2j=10
k-2j=5
since we know that right know Kate is 11 years older than Joey, you can write the equation k+j=11.  Since you know have two equations with with the same variable, you can make a system of equations as fallows:
k-2j=5
k+j=11

Since you need to figure out how old Joey is, you need to somehow get k to cancel out.  The easiest thing to do for this problem is to is multiply the top equation by -1 to get:
-k+2j=-5   (you have to add the bottom equation to the top equation)
k+j=11     (-k+k=0, 2j+j=3j, and -5+11=6)
Since k got canceled out, you are left with the equation 3j=6 which means j=2.
Therefore, Joey's current age is 2.

the perimeter of a rectangle is 58. The length is 1 more than 2 1/2 times the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answers

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is given as

P=2L+2W

where L is the length and W is the width. Substitution of the given values will yield,

58=2L+2W     (1)

The next thing that we have to do is to translate the relationship between the two variables, L and W, into a mathematical equation.

So we have 

L=2.5W+1     (2)

Now we have two equations, we also have two unknowns, so this problem is solvable. Substitution of equation (2) in (1) yields

58=2(2.5W+1)+2W
58=5w+2+2w
58=7W+2
56=7W
8=W

Substitution of this value to equation (2) yields

L=2.5(8)+1
L=21

So, the dimensions of the rectangle are:, specifically, width is equal to 8 while length is equal to 21.

The probability that Emma has heart disease is 0.6. She decides to take a test for the disease that is 80% accurate. What is the probability that Emma has heart disease and the test predicts heart disease?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that Emma has heart disease and the test predicts heart disease is:

                                48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that Emma has a heart disease.

and B denote the event that the test predicts accurate.

Hence, A∩B denote the event that Emma has heart disease and the test predicts heart disease.

From the given equation we have:

             P(A)=0.6

and P(B)=80%=0.8

As we know that event A and event B are independent.

Hence, we have:

P(A∩B)=P(A)×P(B)

⇒  P(A∩B)=0.6×0.8

⇒  P(A∩B)=0.48=48%

                Hence, the probability is:

                           48%

0.6 x 0.8 = 12/25 The probability that Emma has heart disease and the test predicts it is 48%

5x+10=10y


How to solve for y

Answers

The solution of the given linearequation 5x+10=10y  is  (x)/(2) + 1 = y.

Two algebraic expressions separated by an equal symbol in between them and with the same value of the expression are called equations.

Example = 2x +4 = 12

here, 4 and 12 are constants and x is variable.

The value of y can be calculated as:

5x+10=10y

Since, the equation is divisible by 5,

So, the equation becomes,

x+2=2y

Divide both sides by 2, to get the value of y

(x)/(2) + 1 = y

Thus, the value of y in the given equation 5x+10=10y  is  (x)/(2) + 1 = y.
