Answer:

6 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle DBE is similar to triangle ABC, so their side lengths are proportional.

DE/AC = DB/AB

The length of DB can be found from ...

DB +AD = AB

DB = AB -AD = (15 -10) dm = 5 dm

So, we can fill in the proportion:

DE/(18 dm) = (5 dm)/(15 dm)

DE = (18 dm)·(1/3) . . . . . . . . . . simplify, multiply by 18 dm

DE = 6 dm

The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. Lemon juice is said to have a pH of less than 4 and greater than 1.5.
castortr0y [4]

Let's say x is J because it's Lemon Juice.

It's said that the pH of J is less than 4 so: pH(J) < 4 and pH(J) is greater than 1.5 so: pH(J) > 1.5

Now we can construct:

1.5 < pH(J) \wedge pH(J) < 4

Or simply:

1.5 < pH(J) < 4

We can also write this with an interval:

pH(J)\in(1.5, 4)

Hope this helps.

Write an absolute value equation to satisfy the given solution set shown on a number line.
aivan3 [116]

Answer: IX - 4I ≤ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In the numer line we can see that our possible values of x are in the range:

0 ≤ x ≤ 8

And we want to find an absolute value equation such that this set is the set of possible solutions.

An example can be:

IX - 4I ≤ 4

To construct this, we first find the midpoint M of our set, in this case is 4.

Then we write:

Ix - MI  ≤ IMI

Notice that i am using the minor and equal sign, this is because the black dots means that the values x = 0 and x = 8 are included, if the dots were empty dots, it would be an open set and we should use the <  > signs.

Given: -3(2x + 7) = -29 – 4x; Prove: x = 4
sergey [27]

Answer:

See steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(2x+7)=-29-4x

Use the distributive property

-6x-21=-29-4x

Add 21 to each side

-6x=-8-4x

Add 4x to both sides

-2x=-8

Divide by -2

x=4
