Answer:

D. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles to solve this question. ΔRSE ≅ ΔFGE by SAS. We can set up this similarity equations: \frac{SE}{GE} = \frac{RE}{FE} . Plugging in the numbers from the diagram, we get \frac{45}{12x-3} = \frac{55}{143} . Using cross multiplication, we get the following equation:

45 * 143 = 55 *(12x-3)\\ 6435 = 660x - 165\\6600 = 660x\\x = 10

Our final answer is D. 10

Answer:

\fbox {D. 10}

Step-by-step explanation:

As the triangles are similar :

45/55 = (12x - 3)/143

9/11 = (12x - 3)/143

9 x 13 = 12x - 3

12x = 117 + 3

12x = 120

x = 10

Let's solve the first inequality at first. So,

−2(x + 4) + 10 < x − 7

-2x- 8 + 10 < x - 7 By distribution property.

-2x + 2 < x - 7 Adding the like terms.

-2x < x - 7 - 2 Subtract 2 from each sides.

-2x < x - 9 By simplifying.

-2x - x < -9 Subtract x from each sides.

-3x < -9

-\frac{3x}{3}

Since we are dividing by negative 3. So, sign of inequality will get change.

So, x>3

Now the next inequality is,

−2x + 9 > 3(x + 8)

-2x + 9 > 3x + 24

-2x > 3x + 24 - 9

-2x > 3x + 15

-2x - 3x > 15

-5x >15

-\frac{5x}{-5} >\frac{15}{-5}

So, x <-3

Hence, the correct choice is x > 3 or x < −3.

Neither P, nor A are on the sketch 
I guess P is the upper right corner of the rectangle 
and A=(0,1) 

P belongs to the line going through (1,0) and B(0,y) 
<span>but we don't know the y-coordinate of B </span>

<span>the triangle is right and isosceles, so pythagoras a²+a²=2² ... 2a²=4 ... a²=2 ... a=sqrt2 </span>
now look at the right triangle BOA 
<span>his hypotenuse is AB=sqrt2 and the <span>the kathete</span> OA is 1 </span>
so y²+1²=(sqrt2)² ... y²+1=2 ... y²=1.. y=1 
so the coordinates of B are (0,1) 

the line going through (1,0) and (0,1) is L(x)=-x+1 

P belongs to this line, so the coordinates of P are P(x,-x+1) (0<x<1) 

b) so if that's P, the height of the rectangle is -x+1 and the width=2x 
<span>so its area A(x)=2x*(-x+1)= -2x²+2x 

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
