Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Put x = -3</u>

Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure shows two similar triangles. Thus, the side lengths of similar triangles are proportional to each other. Therefore:


Cross multiply


Subtract 24x from each side


Divide both sides by -15

x = 40
699 is closet because as you subtract every number from 750, the smallest answer given is the closest to the number you started with.
Part a : you could draw a line from each corner to the middle
This would give you 7 triangles in total
Part b : area of one triangle : 4.5*7.8 = 35.1 / 2 = 17.55in <-- area of 1 triangle
Part c : so if there are 7 triangles and the area of 1 triangle is 17.55, you would do:
7 * 17.55 = 122.85
Answer:
1) x = (a+c)/b
2) The equation is correct no matter what value x takes.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) a−(a+b)x=(b−a)x−(c+bx)
<=> a - ax - bx = bx - ax - c - bx
<=> a - ax - bx - (bx - ax - c - bx) = 0
<=> a - ax - bx - bx + ax + c + bx = 0
<=> a - ax + ax - bx - bx + bx + c = 0
<=> a - bx + c = 0
<=> bx = a + c
If b ≠ 0, x = (a+c)/b
2) 2(3x−5a)+9(2a−7b)+3(5a−2x)=0
<=> 2×3x + 2×(-5a) + 9×2a + 9× (-7b) + 3×5a + 3×(-2x) = 0
<=> 6x -10a + 18a - 63b + 15a - 6x = 0
<=> (6x - 6x) + (15a - 10a + 18a) - 63b = 0
<=> 23a - 63b = 0
<=> 23a = 63b
=> a = 63b/23
with all values of x, the equation is correct.
