What is the value of x in the diagram?

1 answer:

3 0

The red arrows mean the lines are parallel. Since all angles are equal, the larger triangle is similar to the smaller one. Then corresponding sides have the same ratio
(4x -2)/9 = (3x+2)/12
x(4/9 -3/12) = (2/12) +(2/9)
x = (7/18)/(7/36) = 2 . . . . . . . . . corresponding to the 3rd selection

consider the following equations: -x-y=1 y=x+3 if the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines representing the two

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

(-2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the following equations: -x-y=1 y=x+3

For the lines to intersect, the values must be the same

-x-y=1

x + y = -1

y = -x - 1

Equating the y values

-x - 1 = x+ 3

-x-x = 3 + 1

-2x = 4

x = 4/-2

x = -2

Substitute x = -2 into y = x+3

y = -2 + 3

y = 1

Hence the required coordinate is (-2, 1)

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

32 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the original price is x

Create an equation:

$\frac{1}{2}x -5 = 11$

Add 5 on both sides

$\frac{1}{2}x = 16$

x = 32

The answer is 32 dollars

Hope this helps :)
