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

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent segments have the same length, so:

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

Let x and y be two positive numbers whose sum is 175 and (x+3)(y+4) is a maximum
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 175

y = 175 - x

f(x) = (x+3)(y+4)

= x(175-x) + 3(175-x) + 4x + 12

= 175x - x² + 525 - 3x + 4x + 12

= -x² +176x + 537

f'(x) = -2x + 176

maximum when x = 88

y = 175-x = 87

Adjacent angles and linear pairs can you help?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 13 + 4x + 2 = 180

Add the like terms,

5x + 15 = 180

Subtract 15 form both sides

5x + 15 - 15 = 180 -15

5x = 165

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 16/5

x = 33

What is -2√20-√125 in simplest radical form
solong [7]
√20 the prime factors are 2, 2, 5 so
-2 * √4 *√5
-2*2*√5
-4√5 is the first part ,
now for √125, use prime factorization ,
all prime factors that make up 125 is
5, 5, 5 so √125 can be separated to √25√5 and √25 = 5 so the second part is 5√5.
now -4√5 - 5√5 = -9√5.
therefore answer is -9√5
