Substitute the answer: therefore, 8-8/2+8= 0/10 in fraction form, but as you feather simplify 0 divide by 10 you'll get the answer as 0.
Notice how on both sides of the equation there is one coefficient (number being multiplied by x) and a constant (just a plain number). You want all constants to be on one side and all coefficients on the other. He’s how do to that:
2x+14=-21-5
I am choosing that all constants will be on the right side, so I will do the inverse operation of any constant on the left side to remove it. Here, a constant on the left side is 14. I will subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. Positive 14 minus 14 is zero, so it cancels out and removes it.
2x+14-14 = -21-5x
2x = -35-5x
See how the 14 is now gone? The equation looks much simpler now. Okay next, you can see that there is a coefficient on the “constant side” that I’ve chosen, so I am going to remove that. Negative 5 plus positive 5 equals zero. Do this on both sides of the equation.
2x+5x = -35-5x+5x
7x = -35
Now the equation is just two numbers. All that is left to do is divide by the last coefficient, 7, in this case.
7x/7 = -35/7
x = -5
Answer:
the scale factor is 3/4
x = 16×3/4 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
the only side length we have for both triangles is the short left side.
we see that we get ED from SR and need to transform 4 into 3. how do we do that ?
well,
4×f = 3
f = 3/4
that is the scaling factor, as all side lengths in EDF are created by multiplying the corresponding side in SRT by the same scaling factor (3/4).
therefore,
x = EF = ST×f = 16×3/4 = 4×3 = 12
