Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 3) = 8x
12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )
4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 9
The second leftover expression is not o(a+b). It is 6(a + b). I have attached the correct question to depict that.
Answer:
The equivalent expressions are;
8a + 2 and 6a + 6b
Step-by-step explanation:
The two leftover expressions are given as;
2(4x + 1) and 6(a + b)
In algebra, equivalent expressions are simply those expressions which when simplified, give the same resulting expression as the initial one.
Thus simply means expanding or collecting like times to make it clearer.
Now, in our question, like terms have already been collected. This means that to find an equivalent expression, we will just expand the bracket.
Thus;
2(4x + 1) will be expanded by using the 2 outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the bracket. This gives;
8x + 2
Similarly,
6(a + b) will be expanded by using the 2 outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the bracket. This gives;
6a + 6b
Thus;
The equivalent expressions are;
8a + 2 and 6a + 6b
