Answer:

Using the charasteristics of a parallelogram, the length of line segment MX is 8 in (Third option).

Step-by-step explanation:

In parallelogram WXYZ:

WY=12 in., this is a diagonal in the parallelogram

XZ=16 in., this is the other diagonal in the parallelogram

WX=10 in., this is one of the sides of the parallelogram

XY=9 in., this is the other side of the parallelogram

MX=? this segment is between the vertex X and the point of intersection of the diagonals

In a parallelogram the diagonals intersect (point M) dividing them in equal parts each other, then:

MX=MZ=XZ/2

MX=MZ=(16 in.)/2

MX=MZ=8 in.

Answer: 8 in


M is the center created by diagonal lines leading though the parallelogram, taking this into account the correct answer is half of XZ.


16/2 = 8

Adam is working two summer jobs, making $9 per hour washing cars and $8 per hour walking dogs. Last week Adam earned a total of
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Washing cars= 4 hours

Walking dogs= 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to start by creating equations. So one thing we know is that he makes $9 an hour washing cars(x) and $8 walking dogs(y).

$9x+$8y=$116

The second Equation is based off of the hours worked. We know that he worked 6 hours more walking the dogs than he did washing cars, so we can take x(being the washing hours) and add 6 to it to equal y (the number of dog hours).

y=x+6

Now You plug what y equals into the first equation to solve for x.

9x+8(x+6)=116     Next distribute the 8 to each term.

9x+8(x)+8(6)=116

9x+8x+48=116     Add the like terms together (9x+8x)

17x+48=116         Subtract the 48 from both sides

     -48  -48

17x=68             Now divide by 17 on both sides.

______

17    17

x=4                 Finally we can take x and plug it back in to one of the equations in order to solve for y. I'm going to choose the second equation.

y=(4)+6

y=10

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

I hope this image and explanation helps you!

Step-by-step explanation:

All students in the eighth grade were surveyed, so we can make the valid conclusion that 18% of all students in the eighth grade at Lincoln Junior High School have pancakes as their favorite breakfast.

However, the question did not ask about the students' favorite meal of the day, so we cannot draw any valid conclusions about the students' favorite meal.

The valid conclusion:

18% of all students in the eighth grade at Lincoln Junior High School have pancakes as their favorite breakfast, but we cannot conclude anything about the percent of the population who have breakfast as their favorite meal.
