Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both the triangles as kept separately are similar, so we'll take proptionality of their sides to find one side
MP/ML=MN/MK
20/28=35/MK
CROSS MULTIPLYING
20×MK=28×35
MK=980/20
MK=49
First you have to put all of your common numbers together. 4a and 9a go together. You then subtract those because 9 is negative (-9). Then you get -5a. Now move on to your other numbers. You have 26 and 17. 17 is negative as well (-17), so you subtract it from 26. That gives you 9.
Your new equation is -5a + 9 = 26
Now you subtract 9 from both sides. Your positive (+9) will cancel out with your negative (-9). Then subtract it from 26. 9 minus 26 is 17.
Now your equation is -5a = 17
Since it's negative, you're going to add it (5) to both sides.
Your 5's cancel out, and 17 + 5 is 22.
a = 22
22 is the answer
2x+4x-4=2+4x
2x+4x-4x=2+4
2x=6
x=3
25-x=15-3x-10
3x-x= 15-10-25
2x= -20
x= -10
4x=2x+2x+5x-5x
2x+2x+5x-5x-4x
0 . no solution
X = 10
The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.
9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2
Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2
Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8
Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96
Subtract 6
9x = 90
Divide by 9
x = 10
Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)
The answer for number A would be 1/3
