2x/7 = 12/14
Multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
2x = 84/14
Simplify:
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2 and your answer is....
x = 3

Answer:

8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

x is similar to the side 12cm.

We know the second triangle is rotated counter-clockwise from the first because similar triangles have the same angle measurements.

Since the angle in the first triangle between 9cm and 15cm is 53°, it can't be similar to the angle between x and the hypotenuse in the second triangle.

Find the scale factor:

Triangle 1/Triangle 2

Divide two similar sides.

6/9 = 2/3

Multiply the scale factor by the similar side to find x.

x = 12*(2/3)

x = 8

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know: 
</span>\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}.
From the above equation we get x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20.
then \frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
Solving the above equation for y we get: y=160
So x=400
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

107 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All polygon degrees add up to 360

we know that this polygon has a angle of 90 and 56

subtract 90 and 56 from 360 to get 214

Then divide by 2 because there are 2 x angles

to get 107 degrees

What are the roots of the equation 4x^2+24x+45=0 in simplest a+bi form?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

X=(-1.5, 7.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4x2 + -24x + -45 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0

Solving

-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.

(-3 + -2x)(15 + -2x) = 0

 

Set the factor '(-3 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-3 + -2x = 0

Solving

-3 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + -2x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + 3

-2x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

-2x = 3

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -1.5

Simplifying

x = -1.5  

Set the factor '(15 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

15 + -2x = 0

Solving

15 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + -2x = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -15

-2x = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 0 + -15 = -15

-2x = -15

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 7.5

Simplifying

x = 7.5

Solution

x = {-1.5, 7.5}
