The given equation
x/2 = y/3 = z/4
can be broken into three separate equations which I'll call equations (A), (B) and (C)
x/2 = y/3 ..... equation (A)y/3 = z/4 .... equation (B)x/2 = z/4 .... equation (C)We'll start off solving for z in equation (C)
x/2 = z/4
4x = 2z ... cross multiply
2z = 4x
z = 4x/2 ... divide both sides by 2
z = 2x
Now let's solve for y in equation (A)
x/2 = y/3
3x = 2y
2y = 3x
y = 3x/2
y = (3/2)x
y = 1.5x
The results of z = 2x and y = 1.5x both have the right hand sides in terms of x. This will allow us to replace the variables y and z with something in terms of x, which means we'll have some overall expression with x only. The idea is that expression should simplify to 3 if we played our cards right.
We won't be using equation (B) at all.
---------------------
The key takeaway from the last section is that
z = 2xy = 1.5xLet's plug those items into the expression (2x-y+5z)/(3y-x) to get the following:
(2x-y+5z)/(3y-x)
(2x-y+5(2x))/(3y-x) ..... plug in z = 2x
(2x-y+10x)/(3y-x)
(12x-y)/(3y-x)
(12x-1.5x)/(3(1.5x)-x) .... plug in y = 1.5x
(12x-1.5x)/(4.5x-x)
(10.5x)/(3.5x)
(10.5)/(3.5)
3
We've shown that plugging z = 2x and y = 1.5x into the expression above simplifies to 3. Therefore, the equation (2x-y+5z)/(3y-x) = 3 is true when x/2 = y/3 = z/4. This concludes the proof.

ΔABC is similar to ΔADE, and all pairs of corresponding sides are proportional as a result.
[tex]\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{AE}{AC}[/tex]
The length of the sides BC and DE is given, so I'll start with that and set it equal to the proportion between AB and AD.
[tex]\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AD}{AB}\\\\\frac{10}{8}=\frac{x+5}{5}\\\\10\times5=(x+5)\times8\\50=8x+40\\10=8x\\x=1.25[/tex]
Now, you can do the exact same thing for y:
[tex]\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AC}\\\\\frac{10}{8}=\frac{y+7}{7}\\\\10\times7=(y+7)\times8\\70=8y+56\\14=8y\\y=1.75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
we don't see all possible answer options.
but it does not matter.
the line is clearly
y = 2x - 6
why ?
the slope is always the factor of x.
and the slope is defined as ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change".
and we can clearly see, for every change in x by +1, y changes by +2. zu, the slope is 2/1 = 2.
and when x = 0, the graph shows us the y-intercept with y = -6.
hence the above mentioned equation.
The Function is graphed on the coordinate plane is y= 2x- 6.
What is Slope?A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the
change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,
m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope
We have points from the graph as (3, 0) and (0, -6).
So, the slope of line is
slope= (-6 -0)/ (0-3)
slope = -6/ (-3)
slope= 2
Now, using the slope intercept form
y= mx + b
y= 2x + b
Now, put x= 3 and y= 0 we get
0= 6 + b
b = -6
So, the required function is
y= 2x - 6.

Calculate the average travel time for each distance, and then use the results to calculate. A 6-column table with 3 rows in the second, third, and fifth columns and 1 row in the other columns. The first column labeled Number of Washers has entry 1 washer mass = 4. 9 grams. The second column labeled Trial has entries trial number 1, trial number 2, trial number 3. The third and fourth columns labeled Time to travel 0. 25 meters t subscript 1 (seconds) have entries in the third column 2. 24, 2. 21, 2. 23 and average in the fourth column. The fifth and sixth columns labeled time to travel 0. 5 meters t subscript 2 (seconds) have entries in the fifth column 3. 16, 3. 08, 03. 15 and in the sixth column average. The average time that it takes for the car to travel the first 0. 25m is s. The average time to travel just between 0. 25 m and 0. 50 m is s. Given the time taken to travel the second 0. 25 m section, the velocity would be m/s.
The average travel time is simply the mean travel time between the given points
The average time that it takes for the car to travel the first 0.25m is 2.23s. The average time to travel just between 0.25m and 0.50m is 0.9s. Given the time taken to travel the second 0.25 m section, the velocity would be 0.28m/s.(a) The average time to travel the first 0.25m
The time travel in the first 0.25m are: 2.24s, 2.21s and 2.23s.
So, the average time to travel is:
[tex]Time = \frac{2.24s + 2.21s + 2.23s}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Time = \frac{6.68s}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Time = 2.23s[/tex]
(b) The average time to travel just between 0.25m and 0.50m
The time travel in the 0.50m are: 3.16s, 3.08s and 3.15s.
So, the average time to travel this distance is:
[tex]Time = \frac{3.16s + 3.08s + 3.15s}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Time = \frac{9.39s}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Time = 3.13s[/tex]
The average time to travel between both distance is the difference between the average time of each distance.
So, we have:
[tex]Average = 3.13s - 2.23s[/tex]
[tex]Average = 0.9s[/tex]
(c) The velocity in the second 0.25m section
The distance and time are:
[tex]Distance = 0.25m[/tex]
[tex]Time = 0.9s[/tex]
So, the velocity is:
[tex]Velocity = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]Velocity = \frac{0.25m}{0.9s}[/tex]
[tex]Velocity = 0.28m/s[/tex]

A cyclist travels 4 miles in 20 minutes and then a further 6 miles in 30 minutes without stopping. Calculate the cyclist's average speed in mph.
Answer:
24mph
Step-by-step explanation:
convert 20 mins and 30 mins to hrs by dividing by 60
4/(20/60)=12
6/(30/60)=12
12+12=24
Cyclist's average speed is 12 mph.
What is Speed?Speed is calculated as the ratio of the distance travelled by an object to the time taken to cover the distance.
It can also be defined as the rate of change of position of anything in any direction.
Speed is a scalar quantity as it does not have direction.
Total distance travelled by the cyclist = 4 miles + 6 miles
= 10 miles
Total time taken by the cyclist = 20 minutes + 30 minutes
= 50 minutes
We need the average speed in mph or miles per hour.
We know that,
60 minutes = 1 hour
1 minute = 1/60 hour
50 minutes = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] × 50 hour
= [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] hour
Average Speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken
= 10 miles / (5/6) hour
= 10 × [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
= 12 miles per hour
Hence the average speed of the cyclist is 12 miles per hour.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Maggie's brother is 7 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 68.
How old is Maggie?
=============================================
Explanation:
m = Maggie's age (some positive whole number)
4m = four times her age
4m-7 = seven years younger than 4m = brother's age
Add up her age (m) and her brother's age (4m-7) to get a sum of 68.
m+(4m-7) = 68
5m-7 = 68
5m = 68+7
5m = 75
m = 75/5
m = 15
Maggie is currently 15 years old.
Her brother is currently 4m-7 = 4*15-7 = 60-7 = 53 years old.

You went 160 miles in 20 hours. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the y, the distance in miles to x, the time in hours?
Answer:
X = Y times 8
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to figure out how many miles you can go in an hour.
160/x and 20/1
20x=160
x=8
You can go 8 miles in 1 hour.
Therefore, if X is 1 and Y is 1
1 = 8
1 hour equals 8 miles
determine whatever ABCD is a parallelogram by using the midpoint formula.
A(3,3) B (1.2) C(-3.1) D (-1.4)
Answer:
Not a parallelogram.
Step-by-step explanation:
By the midpoint formula, the midpoint of a segment between [tex](x_{0},\, y_{0})[/tex] and [tex](x_{1},\, y_{1})[/tex] is:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \left(\frac{x_{0} + x_{1}}{2},\, \frac{y_{0} + y_{1}}{2}\right)\end{aligned}[/tex].
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if the midpoints of the two diagonals are the same.
The two diagonals of quadrilateral [tex]{\sf ABCD}[/tex] are segment [tex]\sf{AC}[/tex] and segment [tex]{\sf BD}[/tex], respectively.
Using the midpoint formula, the midpoint of segment [tex]{\sf AC}[/tex] (between [tex]{\sf A}\; (3,\, 3)[/tex] and [tex]{\sf C}\; (-3,\, 1)[/tex]) would be:
[tex]\begin{aligned} & \left(\frac{3 + (-3)}{2},\, \frac{3 + 1}{2}\right) \\ =\; & (0,\, 2)\end{aligned}[/tex].
Likewise, the midpoint of segment [tex]{\sf BD}[/tex] (between [tex]{\sf B}\; (1,\, 2)[/tex] and [tex]{\sf D}\; (-1,\, 4)[/tex] would be [tex](0,\, 3)[/tex].
Thus, quadrilateral [tex]{\sf ABCD}[/tex] would not be a parallelogram since the midpoints of its two diagonals are not the same.
