Answer:

EG = 19

Explanation:

Given that a line segment CD. EF bisects the line CD at point G.

Length of CG = 5x-1

Length of GD = 7x - 13

We know that CG = GD

5x-1 = 7x-13

Solve for x,

2x = 12

x = 6

Now given that,

EF = 6x-4

GF = 13

EF = EG + GF

6x - 4 = EG + 13

EG = 6x - 4 - 13

EG = 6x - 17

put the value of x = 6, in order to find the EG

EG = 6*6 - 17

EG = 19

That's the final answer.

I hope it will help you.

5x-1=7x-13 —> subtract 7x from both sides and add 1 to both sides —> -2x-12 —> divide both sides by -2 —> x=6

Multiplying StartFraction 3 Over StartRoot 17 EndRoot minus StartRoot 2 EndRoot EndFraction by which fraction will produce an eq

ziro4ka [17]

The fraction which produce an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is $\left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)$

Explanation:

The equation is $\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2}}$

To find the rational denominator, let us take conjugate of the denominator and multiply the conjugate with both numerator and denominator.

Rewriting the equation, we have,

$\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)$

Multiplying, we get,

$\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{17})^{2}-(\sqrt{2})^{2}}$

Simplifying the denominator, we get,

$\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{17-2}$

Subtracting, the values of denominator,

$\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{15}$

Dividing the numerator and denominator,

$\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{5}$

Hence, the denominator has become a rational denominator.

Thus, the fraction which produce an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is $\left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)$

Harvey has “r” red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. Choose the expression that shows how many orange peppers Harve

lana [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}r$

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of red pepper that Harvey has is r red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. What this means is that the number of orange pepper that Harvey has is one fourth the number of red peppers. Since the number of red pepper is r, therefore the number of orange pepper is given as:

Number of orange pepper = $\frac{1}{4} \ of\ red\ pepper(r)$

$Number\ of\ orange\ pepper=\frac{1}{4}r$

What is the probability of drawing two yellow marbles if the first one is NOT placed back into the bag before the second draw? T

Xelga [282]

Break it down into two parts. First, what is the probability of drawing a blue marble on the first draw?Since there are 5 blue marbles and 10 total, the probability is 5⁄10, or 1/2. Now since we no longer have that blue marble, there are 4 blue marbles and 9 total. The chances of drawing a blue marble are 4/9. Therefore, the chance that both marbles drawn are blue is the chance that the first one is blue times the chance that the second one is blue. 1/2 * 4/9 = 4/18 = 2/9 Remember, math is always trying to trick you. It wants you to try and do the whole big problem at once, which can be difficult. Break it down into smaller problems, then use your answers to small parts to find the answer to the big question.
