X=8.
Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF. The ratio would be:
24/(x-2) = 20/5
Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)
Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40
Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x
Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x
<u><em>FALSE.</em></u><em></em>
A composite number is the opposite of a prime number. This is false because of the possibility of the following scenario:
The two numbers are 1 and a prime number.
This is because <em>one multiplied by any number is that number.</em> A prime number cannot become a composite number just because it is being multiplied by one. For example:
1 x 7 = 7 (prime)
Hope this helps!
