Since the triangles are similar, the following is true:

  20        x+6
------- = -------
2x -6       36

Then (20)(36) = (x+6)(2)(x-3) = 2[x^2+3x-18], or

720 = 2[x^2+3x-18], or 360 = x^2 + 3x - 18.

Then x^2 + 3x - 18 - 360 = 0.  This is a quadratic equation which can be solved using the quadratic formula, among other approaches.  Please apply the quadratic formula here, using a=1, b=3 and c= -378, to find x.

Since they are similar
36/x+6=2x-6/20

4(5a-2b)-2(4a-5b)<br><br><br> Expand the brackets and simplify the question
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

12a+2b

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand by distributing terms.

20a-8b-2(4a-5b)20a−8b−2(4a−5b)

2. Expand by distributing terms.

20a-8b-(8a-10b)20a−8b−(8a−10b)

 3. Remove parentheses.

20a-8b-8a+10b20a−8b−8a+10b

4.Collect like terms.

(20a-8a)+(-8b+10b)(20a−8a)+(−8b+10b)

5. Simplify.

12a+2b12a+2b

6.Answer

12a+2b

Helpppp!?! <br> - 8 = - ( x + 4
Vlad1618 [11]
-8=-(x+4)
remember the invisible 1
-8=-1(x+4)
distribute using distributeiv porpety
a(b+c)=ab+ac
-1(x+4)=-x-4

-8=-x-4
add 4 to both sides
-4=-x
mutily both sides by -1
4=x

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through point (1, -2) and has a slope of 1/3
GenaCL600 [577]

equation of a line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

given

(1,-2) and slope of 1/3


y-(-2)=1/3(x-1)

general form is ax+by=c (or ax+by+c=0) where a,b,c are integers and a is positive


y-(-2)=1/3(x-1)

y+2=1/3(x-1)

times both sides by 3

3y+6=x-1

minus 3y both sides

6=x-3y-1

add 1 both sides

7=x-3y

x-3y=7

To get ax+by+c=0 form, subtract 7 from both sides to get
x-3y-7=0
