An error is made in solving the equation below. what is the correct solution to the equation?

1 answer:

7 0

Solve for x:
5 (x - 5) = 15
Divide both sides of 5 (x - 5) = 15 by 5:
(5 (x - 5))/5 = 15/5
5/5 = 1:
x - 5 = 15/5
The gcd of 15 and 5 is 5, so 15/5 = (5×3)/(5×1) = 5/5×3 = 3:
x - 5 = 3
Add 5 to both sides:
x + (5 - 5) = 5 + 3
5 - 5 = 0:
x = 3 + 5
3 + 5 = 8:
Answer: x = 8

<span>5(x – 5 + 5) = 15 + 5 Step is wrong</span>

If y is the circumcenter is angle STU find each measure

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW= $\sqrt75units$ , YW= $\sqrt27units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Y is the circumcenter of ΔSTU. we have to find the measures SV, SY, YW and YX.

As Circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of triangle and also The circumcenter is the point at which the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle meet.

Hence, VY, YW and YX are the perpendicular bisectors on the sides ST, TU and SU.

Given ST=18 units.

As VY is perpendicular bisector implies SV=9 units.

Also in triangle VTY

$YT^{2}=VY^{2}+VT^{2}$
