Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Since EF is perpendicular to both AB and CD, that makes AB and CD parallel.
Answer: D
Answer:
D. p + q = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of AB is ...
mAB = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (1 -4)/(6 -p) = -3/(6 -p)
The slope of BC is ...
mBC = (q -1)/(9 -6) = (q -1)/3
We want the product of these slopes to be -1:
mAB·mBC = -1 = (-3/(6 -p))·((q -1)/3)
-(q-1)/(6 -p) = -1 . . . . cancel factors of 3
q -1 = 6 -p . . . . . multiply by -(6 -p)
q + p = 7 . . . . . matches choice D
I believe the answer to your question is 23
Answer:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Billie's age = x
Tony's age = y
Twice Billie’s age decreased by 3 is Tony’s age.
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
Tony is fourteen years older than Billie.
x = y - 14
We substitute y - 14 for x in Equation 1
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
y = 2(y - 14) - 3
y = 2y - 28 - 3
y - 2y = -28 - 3
-y = -31
y = 31 years
Solving for x
x = y - 14
x = 31 - 14
x = 17 years.
Therefore:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
