Answer:

A transitive property

Step-by-step explanation:

There isn't much to this.

This is the the transitive property.

I guess I can go through each choice and tell you what the property looks like or postulate.

A) If x=y and y=z, then x=z.

This is the exact form of your conditional.

x is AB here

y is BC here

z is DE here

B) Segment Addition Postulate

If A,B, and C are collinear with A and B as endpoints, then AB=AC+CB.

Your conditional said nothing about segment addition (no plus sign).

C) Distributive property is a(b+c)=ab+ac.

This can't be applied to any part of this. There is not even any parenthesis.

D) The symmetric property says if a=b then b=a.

There is two parts to our hypothesis where this is only part to the symmetric property for the hypothesis .

Answer:

$x=\frac{12}{7} \\y=\frac{12}{5} \\z=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's re-write the equations in order to get the variables as separated in independent terms as possible \:

First equation:

$\frac{xy}{x+y} =1\\xy=x+y\\1=\frac{x+y}{xy} \\1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x}$

Second equation:

$\frac{xz}{x+z} =2\\xz=2\,(x+z)\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{x+z}{xz} \\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x}$

Third equation:

$\frac{yz}{y+z} =3\\yz=3\,(y+z)\\\frac{1}{3} =\frac{y+z}{yz} \\\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{y}$

Now let's subtract term by term the reduced equation 3 from the reduced equation 1 in order to eliminate the term that contains "y":

$1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x} \\-\\\frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{y}\\\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1}{x} -\frac{1}{z}$

Combine this last expression term by term with the reduced equation 2, and solve for "x" :

$\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1}{x} -\frac{1}{z} \\+\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x} \\ \\\frac{7}{6} =\frac{2}{x}\\ \\x=\frac{12}{7}$

Now we use this value for "x" back in equation 1 to solve for "y":

$1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x} \\1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{7}{12}\\1-\frac{7}{12}=\frac{1}{y} \\ \\\frac{1}{y} =\frac{5}{12} \\y=\frac{12}{5}$

And finally we solve for the third unknown "z":

$\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x} \\\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{7}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{z} =\frac{1}{2}-\frac{7}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{z} =-\frac{1}{12}\\z=-12$

Jefferson hit 30% of the 240 times he went bat

So "of" means multiply and 30% is .3 so multiply .3 by the 240 times and u get... 72!

If a+e = 11 a²-f=15 f+c=6 c×a-e=13 what is the value of the variables

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

a=4

c=5

e=7

f=1

Step-by-step explanation:

the simplest method would be to start with a(2)"squared" (being '4' as this will get you closest to 15. So 16 -1 (being 'c') = 15. now plug those into the other equations and work the other numbers out.
