Add all sides.
5x+2+3x+8+4x-1
Combine like terms
12x+9
Subtract nine to get it on the other side of the equal sign
12x= -9
Divide by twelve
x=-9/12
Simplify
x=-3/4
Plug in x.
Answer:
Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)
a^2 and b^2 are 2 perfect squares and a^2 - b^2 are their difference.
2. The order of multiplication does not matter because in algebra multiplication is commutative ( meaning any order gives the same result).
Answer:
x = 4.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since quadrilateral JKLM and PQRS are similar toe ach other, therefore the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.
Thus:
QP/KJ = PS/JM
Substitute
8/5 = x/3
Cross multiply
5*x = 3*8
5x = 24
x = 24/5
x = 4.8
