The value of x is equal to 14.

Since the bottom side is equal to 3 of the small triangle and the side of the larger triangle is equal to 9, that means that it was dilated by a factor of 3, since 3 * 3 = 9
So, the other side of 5, of the smaller triangle needs to be also be dilated by a factor of 3, so the new side is 15.
The larger triangle tells us that the side is x + 1, but we know that it is equal to 15. Since they are the same, we make them equal and solve for x
So, 15 = x + 1
We subtract 1 to isolate x and we get
14 = x
So, x is equals to 14.
I hope this helps.
YOU'RE WELCOME :D

Answer:

$5 {x}^{2} \: + \: 8x \: - 2 \: = \: 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$sum \: of roots = - 2 + \frac{1}{5} = - \frac{8}{5} \\ product \: of \: roots = - 2 \times \frac{1}{5} = - \frac{2}{5} \\ from \: general \: equation \\ a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + \frac{8}{5} x \: - \frac{2}{5} = 0 \\ 5 {x}^{2} \: + \: 8x \: - 2 \: = \: 0$

Answer:

Quadrant 2, x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Point C is on top left side of the x-y graph, which is quadrant 2.

An axis refers to line, so the x axis the is horizonal line, as it says on the right end of it. The y axis is the vertical line, noted at the top of the line.

The only line that's on a line is point D and it's on the x-axis.
