Find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate y:

y^2+8^2=12^2

y^2+64=144          <em>subtract 64 from both sides</em>

y^2=80\to y=\sqrt{80}

Two smaller triangles are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{y}{8}           <em>cross multiply</em>

y^2=8x       <em>substitute y² = 80</em>

80=8x               <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

x=10

Solve the absolute value inequality |x+9| &gt; 3
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

x>−6,x<−12

Step-by-step explanation:

Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

x+9>3x+9>3

-(x+9)>3−(x+9)>3

Solve the 1st equation: x+9>3x+9>3.

x>-6x>−6

3 Solve the 2nd equation: -(x+9)>3−(x+9)>3.

x<-12x<−12

Collect all solutions.

x>-6,x<-12x>−6,x<−12

Someone please help me out I rlly need help

The equation that could be used to solve for x is (3x-1) = 140 and the value of x is 47°.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

We have two lines that are intersecting each other at a point. The angles made on this point are given.

Now, we know that these two angles are vertically opposite angles. And we also know that vertically opposite angles are equal.

So, we will have the following equation:

3x-1 = 140

Now, we can easily find the value of x from this equation:

Adding 1 on both sides of the equation:

3x = 140+1

3x = 141

Dividing by 3 on both sides:

x = 141/3

x = 47°

Hence, the equation that could be used to solve for x is (3x-1) = 140 and the value of x is 47°.

The actual length of Wall C is 4 m. To represent Wall C, Noah draws a segment 16 cm long. What scale is he using?
hjlf

Answer:

\frac{1m}{4cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the problem out as a fraction.

\frac{4}{16}

Next see if there is a GCF

4:1,2,4

16:1,2,4,8,16

Finally divide the numerator and denomenator by the GCF

\frac{4}{16} /4=\frac{1}{4}
