AB + BC = AC
3y - 1 + 7y = 29
10y - 1 = 29
10y = 29 + 1 = 30
y = 30/10 = 3

AB = 3(3) - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

In the diagram below, triangle abc ~ triangle dec . What is the value of x? A. 28 b. 24 c. 22 d. 26

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Given : ΔABC ~ ΔDEC

By the property of similarity,

"Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional"

$\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{BC}{EC}=\frac{AC}{DC}$

Since, $\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{AC}{DC}$

$\frac{42}{6}=\frac{x}{(32-x)}$

6x = 42(32 - x)

6x = 1344 - 42x

6x + 42x = 1344

48x = 1344

x = $\frac{1344}{48}$

x = 28 units

Therefore, Option (A). x = 28 units will be the answer.

Solve for x.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The answer is the first option: 1) $x$ > the quantity $4$ times $b$ minus $9$ all over $a$

The explanation is shown below:

1. To solve this problem you must pply the following proccedure:

2. Move the term $4b$ to the left member. As the variable is negative, multiply the expression by $-1$ and change the direction of the sign:

$-ax+4b>9\\ (-1) -ax>9-b4 (-1)\\ x>\frac{ab-9}{a}$
