If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL
JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7
The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7 |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = 4</u>
<u>JL</u> = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = <u>14</u>
<u>KL</u> = JK =<u> 7</u>
Four times a number is equal to negative eight.
Answer:
Width = 2
Length = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
let A be the area of the rectangle
L be the length of the rectangle
w be the width of the rectangle
<u><em>Formula</em></u>: ‘<u><em>area of a rectangle</em></u>’
A = L × w
…………………………………………………
A = L × w
⇔ 10 = (w + 3) × w
⇔ 10 = w² + 3w
⇔ w² + 3w - 10 = 0
<u><em>Solving the quadratic equation</em></u> w² + 3w - 10 = 0 :
Δ = 3² - 4(1)(-10) = 9 - (-40) = 9 + 40 = 49
then √Δ = 7
-5 is not valid ,because w represents the width
which must be a positive number
Then w = 2
<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:
Width = 2
Length = 2 + 3 = 5
Nikita's distance from her for the second part of the race was 1.5 kilometers.
Since Nikita ran a 5-kilometer race in 39 minutes (0.65 of an hour) without training beforehand, and in the first part of the race, her average speed was 8.75 kilometers per hour, while for the second part of the race, she started to get tired, so her average speed dropped to 6 kilometers per hour, to determine which expression represents Nikita's distance for the second part of the race the following calculation must be performed:
- 8.75 x 0.65 + 6 x 0 = 5.68
- 8.75 x 0.50 + 6 x 0.15 = 5.275
- 8.75 x 0.40 + 6 x 0.25 = 5
-
100 = 60
- 40 = X
- 40 x 60/100 = X
- 24 = X
- 39 - 24 = 15
- 15 = 1/4 hour
- 6/4 = 1.5
Therefore, Nikita's distance from her for the second part of the race was 1.5 kilometers.
