Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

14=7(2x-4)

14/7=2x-4

2=2x-4

2x=2+4

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3

------------

14=7(2x-4)

14=14x-28

14x=14+28

14x=42

x=42/14

x=3

14=7(2x-4)\\2=2x-4\\2x=6\\x=3\\\\14=7(2x-4)\\14=14x-28\\14x=42\\x=3

I prefer the first method, because I don't do unnecessary multiplication and therefore operate on smaller numbers.

The quadrilateral ABCD has area of 58 in2 and diagonal AC = 14.5 in. Find the length of diagonal BD if AC ⊥ BD.
azamat

Answer:

(look in the the Step by step)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular, the area of that quadrilateral is half the product of their lengths.

.. A = (1/2)*d₁*d₂

Substituting the given information, this becomes

.. 58 in² = (1/2)*(14.5 in)*d₂

.. 2*58/14.5 in = d₂ = 8 in

The length of diagonal BD is 8 in.

Grades:

7 hours worth 3(B)

6 hours worth 1(D)

20 hours worth 0(F). So
