The value of the variable x is 3/4

<h3>What are congruent segments</h3>

Congruent segment are segments with equal or congruent lengths.

From the information given, we have that line AB is approximately equal to line BC. This is represented as;

AB = BC

Where;

  • AB = 4x + 7
  • BC = 20x - 7

Now, let's equate the expressions

4x + 7 = 20x - 5

collect like terms

4x - 20x = - 5 - 7

- 16x = - 12

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = -12/-16

x = 3/4

Thus, the value of the variable x is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent segments have the same length, so:

AB= BC \\ \\ 4x+7=20x-5 \\ \\ 12=16x \\ \\ x=3/4

When factored completely, the expression 3x2 - 9x + 6 is equivalent to
Lunna [17]
Let's see what the options look like when we multiply the expressions in brackets:

(first, i multiply both parts of the second bracked by the first part of the first bracket, and then the same with the second part of the first bracket:
<span>(1) (3x - 3)(x - 2))

3x2 +6x -3x +6// this is not correct

(2) (3x + 3)(x - 2) </span>


3x2-6x+3x-6//this is not correct

(3)

3(x + 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x+x-2)//simplifying:
3(x2-x-2)//multiplying:
3x2-3x-6)
- so this is not correct either
(4) 3(x - 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x - x + 2)
3(x2-3x +2)
3x2-9x +6 - well, here is our winner!
