Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Sides opposite congruent angles are congruent:
x + 10 = 2x - 5
15 = x . . . . . . . . . add 5-x
The value of x is 15.
_____
I suppose you could show the intermediate step:
x +10 +(5 -x) = 2x -5 +(5 -x)
15 = x . . . . . simplified
Let's assume that the parabola has the following intersections with the x axis:
x1 = p
x2 = q
To find the equation of the parabola, we write the following product of binomials:
(x-p) (x-q) = 0
Where,
p, q: intersections with the x axis.
When developing the product of binomials, we obtain the equation of the parabola.
Answer:
(x-p) (x-q) = 0
Assuming that 2000:1 is a ratio of unknown units to centimeters, we can use proportions to find the actual length of the organism.
x = 2000(5.6)
x = 11200
The actual length of the organism is 11,200 units.
