(x+2)(1-x)=-4

subtract 2 from both sides: x(1-x)=2

simplify:x-2x=2

subtract: -x=2

switch the negatives

x=-2

Given: ABC is similar to XYC. If BY = 6, YC = 10, AX = 18, then XC = 10.8 5 30 48

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The correct option is 3. The length of XC is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle ABC and triangle XYC are similar.

According to the properties of similar triangles, then corresponding sides of similar triangles are congruent.

In triangle ABC and triangle XYC,

$\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{YC}=\frac{AC}{XC}$

Let the length of XC be x.

From the below figure it is notices that

$AC=AX+XC=18+x$

$BC=BY+YC=6+10=16$

$\frac{16}{10}=\frac{18+x}{x}$

$16x=180+10x$

$6x=180$

$x=30$

Therefore correct option is 3. The length of XC is 30.

What is an interval scale and what is it used for?

koban [17]

An interval scale has measurements where the difference between values is meaningful. For example, the year 0 doesn’t imply that time didn’t exist. And similarly, a temperature of zero doesn’t mean that temperature doesn’t exist at that point. Arbitrary zeros (and the inability to calculate ratios because of it) are one reason why the ratio scale — which does have meaningful zeros — is sometimes preferred.
