-x + 8 = x - 10
8 - x = x - 10
8 = x - 10 + x
8 = 2x - 10
8 + 10 = 2x
18 = 2x
18/2 = x
9 = x
x = 9
Since 30 is not a square root you would use the closest square roots √25 and √36 which makes your answer 5 and 6
Answer: x = 7
`Step-by-step explanation:
Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 cm 72 cm
----------- = -----------
3x - 20 56 cm
Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²
Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:
3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7
Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.
Answer: 50 + m
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, Erica and John are making brackets and Erica makes 25 bracelets while John makes m more bracelets than Erica. The total number of bracelets made will be:
Erica bracelet = 25
John bracelet = 25 + m
Total bracelet = 25 + 25 + m
= 50 + m
The expression that represents the total number of bracelets Erica and John made is 50 + m
