Solve for x. The triangles in each pair are similar please question number 14

Mathematics

Brilliant_brown [7]2 years ago

Given that the triangle CDE is similar to triangle CML, it means that the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal. It means that

CD/CM = DE/ML = CE/CL

CD = 20 + 12x + 2 = 12x + 22

CE = 30 + 12 = 42

20/12x + 22 = 12/42

By cross multipying, it becomes

12(12x + 22) = 20 * 42

144x + 264 = 840

144x = 840 - 264 = 576

x = 576/144

x = 4

Answer:

slope: (positive) 2

Slope:1/6 point: (24 ,4)
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

y -4 = 1/6(x-24)

y = 1/6x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y -4 = 1/6(x-24)

Or we can write slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Substituting the points

4 = 1/6(24)+b

4 = 6+b

4-6 = b

-2 =b

y = 1/6x -2

How do you work these out im confused
Vitek1552 [10]

\boxed {45)} Multiply 520 students by 20% (0.20).

520 * 0.20 = 104

Multiply 104 students by 12.5% (0.125).

104 * 0.125 = 13

13 students were on the wrestling team.

\boxed {46)} dimes (d) = n + .80, nickels (n) = n

Make the dimes and nickels add up to $1.40 in an equation.

(n + .80) + n = 1.40

Combine like terms.

2n + .80 = 1.40

Subtract .80 from both sides.

2n = 0.60

Divide both sides by 2.

n = 0.30

Divide this by 0.05 (how many nickels are in a dollar).

0.30/0.05 = 6

d = n + 0.80 ⇒ 0.30 + 0.80 = 1.10

Divide this by 0.10 (how many dimes are in a dollar).

1.10/0.10 = 11

There are 6 nickels and 11 dimes in the bank.
