Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Substitute h(x) for -9

-9 = 4x - 1

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

-8 = 4x

x = -2

Answer:

x = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 4x - 1, h(x) = -9.

-9 = 4x - 1

4x - 1 = -9

4x = -8

x = -2

Check your work!

4 * (-2) - 1

= -8 - 1

= -9

Since it works out, x = -2.

Hope this helps!

Hannah notices that segment HI and segment KL are congruent in the image below: Two triangles are shown, GHI and JKL. G is at ne

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

segment IG ≅ segment LJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached image as per the triangles as given in the question statement.

$\triangle HGI, \triangle JKL$

$G\left(-3,1\right),\ H\left(-1,1\right),\ I\left(-2,3\right)$

$J\left(3,3\right),K\left(1,3\right),L\left(2,1\right)$

Given that:

$HI\cong KL$ and

$\angle I \cong \angle L$

<em>SAS congruence </em>between two triangles states that two triangles are congruent if two corresponding sides and the angle between the two sides are congruent.

We are given that one angle and one sides are congruent in the given triangles.

We need to prove that other sides that makes this angle are also congruent.

To show the triangles are congruent i.e. $\triangle GHI \cong \triangle JKL$ by SAS congruence we need to prove that

segment IG ≅ segment LJ

Let us use Distance formula to find IG and LJ:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$IG =\sqrt{(-2+3)^2+(3-1)^2} =\sqrt5\ units$

$LJ =\sqrt{(2-3)^2+(1-3)^2} =\sqrt5\ units$

Hence, segment IG ≅ segment LJ

$\therefore$ ΔGHI ≅ ΔJKL by SAS

On selling an article for Rs 2300, a shopkeeper made a profit of 15 %. find the cost price of the article.

Ede4ka [16]

Let the cost price of article be x :

x + x × ( 15/100 ) = 2300

x + x × ( 5 × 3 / 5 × 20 ) = 2300

x + x × ( 3 / 20 ) = 2300

x + ( 3 × x / 20 ) = 2300

x + ( 3x / 20 ) = 2300

( 20x / 20 ) + ( 3x / 20 ) = 2300

20x + 3x / 20 = 2300

23x / 20 = 2300

Multiply both sides by 20

( 23x / 20 ) × 20 = 2300 × 20

23x = 2300 × 20

23x = 23 × 2000

Divide both sides 23

23x ÷ 23 = ( 23 × 2000 ) ÷ 23

x = Rs 2000
