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

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

j(x) = 3x + 1

j(x) = -11

Step 2: Substitute and solve for x

-11 = 3x + 1

-12 = 3x

x = -4

Graft the solution to the inequality on the number line. m>2.8

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

See the graph of the given inequality in the attachment as shown below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality: $m > 2.8$

To graph this inequality on the number line.

Remember:

If the symbol is $(\geq or \leq)$ then you fill in the dot

If the symbol is $(> or$ then you do not fill in the dot.

Since, in the given inequality the symbol is '>'

Now, sketch a number line and draw an open circle around the number 2.8.

You can see the number line as shown below in the attachment.

Find the 75th term of the following6, 10, 14, 18,

enot [183]

Given the sequence:

6, 10, 14, 18,...

We will find the 75th term

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence

Because there is a constant common differnce

d = 18 - 14 = 14 - 10 = 10 - 6 = 4

The first term = a = 6

The general formula of the arithmetic sequence is as follows:

$a_n=a+d(n-1)$

Where: n is the nth term

To find the 75th term, substitute with n = 75 and a = 6, d = 4

$a_{75}=6+4\cdot(75-1)=302$

So, the answer will be the 75th term = 302

Convert 185 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Round your answer to the nearest degree

lakkis [162]

Hello! :3

Answer:

The Correct Answer is 365 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

The C to F formula is $(C ~x~ 9/5) + 32 = F$

When we do 185 for C in the formula, we get $(185 ~x~ 9/5) + 32 = F.$

To solve, $(185 ~x~ 9/5) + 32 = F.$ we first multiply 9 by 185, then we divide the product by 5, and then finally we add 32 to the quotient to get the answer.

$185~x~9=1665$

$1665 /5=333$

$333+32=355$

Therefore, the answer to 185 C to F is 365 which can be written like this

⇒ 185 °C = 365 °F

hope this helps you!
