Answer:
(x - 9) + (x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the correct answer when factoring the numbers must add up to be the middle variable and multiply together to be the ending original number.
Answer C
steps
deduct 10 from 26
26-10 which will give us 16
Answer:
x = 5/2 & x = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Create two equations and solve
1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0
1) 2x = 5
x = 5/2
2) 3x = 1
x = 1/3
You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
..........the answer is B
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You are to assume in both problems that the two triangles are similar. That is a very dangerous assumption -- especially in later math classes. But in this case, there is no other way to do the problem. The two sets of triangles look like they are proportional. So set up two ratios that are = to each other
On the left
long side small triange / long side large triangle = base small triangle / base large triangle
On the right
hypotenuse/longest leg = hypotenuse / longest leg.
Problem A
Set up the similar Proportion
5/40 = x/20 Cross Multiply
40x = 20*5
40x = 100 Divide by 40
x = 100/40
x = 2.5
Problem B
Again set up the similar triangle proportion
15/10 = x/2 Multiply by 2
15*2/10 = x
3 = x
