What value of x would make KM ∥ JN?

Mathematics

stepan [7]2 years ago

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

By the converse of the side-splitter theorem, if \dfrac{JK}{KL}= \dfrac{NM}{ML} , then KM ∥ JN.

Substitute the expressions into the proportion:

\dfrac{x-5}{x}= \dfrac{x-3}{x+4}

Cross-multiply:

(x – 5)(x+4) = x(x – 3).

Distribute:

x(x) + x(4) - 5(x) - 5(4) = x(x) + x(-3).

Multiply and simplify:

x^2 +4x- 5x - 20 = x^2-3x\\-x-20=-3x\\$Collect like terms$\\-x+3x=20\\2x=20\\$Divide both sides by 2\\x=10

Solve for x: x = 10

Therefore, the value of x that would make KM parallel to JN is 10.

I'm sorry I'm too lazy to read all of that. However, I did get the main point. The river was going at 3 mph. Since he wanted to travel 10 miles upstream and downstream, you would have to subtract 20 by 3. This would mean he was going at a speed of 17 mph.

A newly drilled water well produces 50,000 quarts of water per week. With no new water feeding the well, the production drops by
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

water produced = 50,000 quarts of water per week

Production drop = 5% = 0.05 per year

Number of week in year = 52 week

Find:

Total amount of water

Computation:

Sum = a / r

a = 50,000 x 52

a = 2,600,000

Sum = a / [1-r]

Sum = 2,600,000 / 5%

Sum = 2,600,000 / 0.05

Total amount of water = 5,200,000
