In a triangle ABC, AB:BC is 5:9. On the triangle AB=15 and BC=5x+2. Write a proportion and solve for the variable

1 answer:

4 0

If AB is 15, then BC is 15*9/5=27. Therefore, we can write the equation 5x+2=27.

We subtract by 2 to find that 5x=25, and divide by 5 to see that x=5.

What property was used to rewrite the polynomial expression (x+5)+3(a+(6x)y) to 5+(x+3a+(18x)y)

Umnica [9.8K]

3(a+(6x)y) was clearly multiplied out as seen by the 3a and 18xy, so the distributive property was used there. In addition, the commutative and associative properties state that you can rearrange sums, so those were used too
