On applying the midpoint theorem the values of x, y, and z are 2, 10 and 8 respectively.

What is the mid-point theorem?

According to the midpoint theorem, the line segment connecting any two triangle sides' midpoints is parallel to and equal to half of the third side.

The outer triangle is ABC and the inner triangle is DEF.

It can be seen that sides AB, BC and AC are equally divided such that AD=DB,

BE=EC and

CF=FA.

So, this proves that point D, E and F are the middle points of AB, BC and AC respectively.

Now, according to the midpoint theorem -

DF = 1/2(BC)

Plugging in the values -

x = (5x-6)/2

2x = 5x-6

2x-5x = -6

-3x = -6

x = 2

Now, for side DE -

DE = 1/2(AC)

Plugging in the values -

12 = (2z+8)/2

24 = 2z+8

24-8 = 2z

16 = 2z

z = 8

Now, for side EF -

EF = 1/2(AB)

Plugging in the values -

y = 20/2

y = 10

Therefore, the values obtained are x=2, y=10 and z=8.

The required transformations of the original image are the first translation of 7 units to the right side, then a reflection across the x-axis.

A point is transformed when it is moved from where it was originally to a new location. Translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation are examples of different transformations.

The triangle is given in the represented graph, which vertices are as follows :

(-5, -1)

(-2, -1)

The speed of car moving towards south exists 15 mph and, speed of (as moving towards East = 25 mph.

They are referred to be intersecting lines when two or more lines in a plane cross each other. The point of intersection, which can be found on all intersecting lines, is the common point shared by the intersecting lines.

Let speed of Car 1 = x mph

Speed of car 2 = (x + 10) mph

Hence,

OA = Distance travelled by car2 in 2 hours

⇒ OA = (x + 10) × 2 = 2x + 20

And, OB = Distance travelled by Car 1 in 2 hours

⇒ OB = x × 2 = 2 x

Now, In ΔOAB, OA² + OB² = AB²

⇒  4x² + 400 + 80x + 4x² = 3400

simplifying the equation

⇒ 8x² + 20x - 3000 = 0

⇒ x² + 10x - 375 = 0

⇒ x² + 25x - 15x - 375 = 0

simplifying the above equation, we get

⇒ x(x + 25) - 15(x + 25) = 0

Elimination is a method used to solve systems of linear equations with two or more variables. One possible method to solve a equation with 3 variables using elimination is solving algebraically.

To use elimination to solve a system of equations with three variables, you can follow these steps:

1. Write the system of equations. For example, if you have the equations:

3x + 2y - z = 5

2x - 4y + 2z = 6

5x - 2y + 3z = 10

2. Multiply one of the equations by a scalar (a number) so that one of the variables has opposite coefficients, say y in two of the equations.

3. Next, you can multiply one of the equations by a scalar (a number) so that one of the variables has opposite coefficients, say x in two of the equations.

4. Now substitute this value of z in the first or the second equation to solve for x

5. Now substitute this value of x and z in the second equation or any other equation to solve for y

This is one possible way to use elimination to solve a system of equations with three variables. Depending on the specific problem, there may be different ways to eliminate variables, but the general idea is to use scalar multiplication and addition or subtraction to create a new equation with one variable having the same coefficient but with opposite signs. One can also use Gaussian elimination or matrix inversion method.

What is numbers?

An arithmetic value known as a number is used to represent a quantity and perform calculations. Numbers are represented by written symbols, such as "3," which are referred to as numerals. A number system is a method of writing that uses logically ordered digits or symbols to represent numbers.

To represent numbers greater than 100, use numeral figures; however, whole numbers, such as 300 or 1,000, should be written out.

When representing non-whole numbers like 1,239 or 603, use numerals.

Except for whole numbers combined with hundred, thousand, hundred thousand, million, billion, and beyond, the Chicago Manual of Style advises spelling out numbers from zero to one hundred and using figures after that (e.g., two hundred; twenty-eight thousand; three hundred thousand; one million).

Hence, the numerical figures are used to write numbers more than 100.

Answer: It's a homozygous dominant genotype.

Step-by-step explanation: Two capital letters or two lowercase letters are homozygous.

The area of one base of the triangular prism is given as 16√3 square cm, and since the base is equilateral, the sides of the triangle are of equal length.

The formula to calculate the area of an equilateral triangle is (sqrt(3)/4) * s^2 where s is the length of a side of the triangle.

So, plugging in the given area of base, 16√3, we can find the length of a side of the equilateral triangle, s.

16√3 = (sqrt(3)/4) * s^2

s = (4*16√3)/sqrt(3) = 16√3 cm

Now we can use the height of the prism, which is given as 30 cm, to find the area of the rectangular surface.

Area of the rectangular surface = 2 * base area * height = 2 * 16√3 * 30 cm²

This simplifies to:

960√3 cm²

So the total area of the rectangular surface of the prism is 960√3 square cm.

If point P(2k, k) is equidistant from A(-2, 4) and B (7,-5), the numerical value of k is 3.

The distance formula used in finding the distance between two points is expressed as;

d = √( ( x₂ - x₁ )² + ( y₂ - y₁ )² )

The distance between P(2k, k) and A(-2, 4) is:

d = √((2k - (-2))² + (k - 4)²)

d = √((2k +2)² + (k - 4)²)

The distance between P(2k, k) and B(7, -5) is:

d = √((2k - 7)² + (k - (-5))²)

d = √((2k - 7)² + (k + 5)² )

Since the distances are equal, we can set the two equations for d equal to each other and solve for k.

√((2k +2)² + (k - 4)²) = √((2k - 7)² + (k + 5)² )

Square both sides

(2k +2)² + (k - 4)² = (2k - 7)² + (k + 5)²

(2k +2)² + (k - 4)² = 5k² - 18k + 74

5k² + 20 = 5k² - 18k + 74

Collect like terms

5k² - 5k² + 18k = 74 - 20

18k = 74 - 20

18k = 54

k = 54/18

k = 3

Therefore, the value of k is 3.
