Answer:

PS = 7x- 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Straight Line, PS

Such that

PR = 4x -2

RS = 3x - 5

Required

Find PS

From the attachment above, it can be seen that RS is a continuation of PS;

This implies that

PS = PR + RS

Substitute PR = 4x -2 and RS = 3x - 5

PS = 4x - 2 + 3x - 5

Collect like terms

PS = 4x + 3x- 2  - 5

PS = 7x- 7

Hence, the length of PS is PS = 7x- 7

A mirror is made of two congruent parallelograms as shown in the diagram. The parallelograms have a combined area of 9 1/3 squar
Vika [28.1K]
Given:
2 parallelograms with an area of 9 1/3 yd²
height of each parallelogram is 1 1/3 yd

Area of parallelogram = base * height

We need to divide the combined area into two to get each parallelogram's base.

9 1/3 = ((9*3)+1)/3 = 28/3

28/3 ÷ 2 = 28/3 * 1/2 = 28/6 yd² or 4 4/6 yd² ⇒ 4 2/3 yd²

Area of each parallelogram is 4 2/3 yd²

4 2/3 yd² = base * 1 1/3 yd

14/3 yd² ÷ 4/3 yd = base

14/3 yd² x 3/4 yd = base
14*3 / 3*4 = base
42 / 12 = base
3 6/12 yd = base
or 3 1/2 yd = base

a) the base of each parallelogram is 3 1/2 yards
b) we can assume that the two parallelograms form a rectangle.
area of a rectangle is length times width.

length is 3 1/2 yds * 2 = 7 yds
width is 3 1/2 yds

Area of rectangle = 7 yds * 3 1/2 yds
Area = 7 yd * 7/2 yd
Area = 7*7 / 2 yd²
Area = 49 / 2 yd²
Area = 24 1/2 yd²

Olivia drives 90 miles in 2 hours. She drives 225 miles in 5 hours. She writes an equation in the form y=mx to represent the num
saul85 [17]

Answer:

y=270\textrm{ miles}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of miles is represented by y and number of hours is represented by x.

The equation to show the relationship between x and y is y=mx

Now, for x=2,y=90

Plug in the above equation and solve for m. This gives,

90=m(2)\\m=\frac{90}{2}=45\textrm{ mi/h}

Hence, the equation is y=45x.

Now, if the line passes through (6,y), then x = 6.

So, y=45(6)=270\textrm{ miles}

Therefore, the value of y is 270 miles.

Which graph most likely shows a system of equations with no solutions
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The graph attached has a solution. As you can see, the parabolic function DOES intercept the line at (0, 3). Therefore, the solution to that sytem of equation is the point (0, 3).

A system of equations has no solutions when their graphs do NOT meet at any point.
