Answer:
D. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the missing length be represented as x.
Thus:
(24 - x)/12 = x/20 => angle bisector theorem
Cross multiply
20(24 - x) = x(12)
480 - 20x = 12x
480 - 20x + 20x = 12x + 20x
480 = 32x
480/32 = 32x/32
15 = x
Missing length = x = 15

Answer: -4
Answer:
{x,y} = {89/37,-71/37}
Step-by-step explanation:
8x = 3y + 25
[2] x = 3y/8 + 25/8
Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 6•(3y/8+25/8) + 7y = 1
[1] 37y/4 = -71/4
[1] 37y = -71
Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 37y = - 71
[1] y = - 71/37
By now we know this much :
x = 3y/8+25/8
y = -71/37
Use the y value to solve for x
x = (3/8)(-71/37)+25/8 = 89/37
Answer:
x = 5 or x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 6x + 7 = 0
x² - 6x = -7
x² - 6x + 9 = -7 + 9 1/2 of the x term than square it and add it the both sides.
(x - 3)(x - 3) = 2
( x -3)² = 2
= 
(x - 3) = ± 2
x - 3 = 2 or x - 3 = -2
x = 5 or x = 1
