Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
For the triangles to be congruent, then the legs
ED = AB, that is
4x + 2 = 34 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 8
18x² - 60x + 50
= 2 (9x² - 30x + 25 ) ⇒⇒⇒ take 2 as common from all terms
note: 9x² = 3x * 3x and 25 = 5*5 and 3x * 5 *2 = 30x
so, this is a complete square
= 2(3x-5)(3x-5)
= 2(3x-5)²
Let the number be a
6a - 20 = 3a + 4
Group like terms
6a - 3a = 20 + 4
3a = 24
divide through by 3
a = 8
Therefore the number is 8
triangle is a good shape... but
Denominator must be equal to zero in order to find discontunities.
