Answer:

A.) -9

Step-by-step explanation:

it is observed that triangles ABL and KML are similar triangles

hence the following ratios are valid:

LA / LK = LB/LM = AB/KM

we can see that LA/LK = LB/LM = 1/2

hence the above ratio becomes

1/2 = AB/KM  (rearranging)

KM = 2AB

We are given that KM = (x + 21) and AB = (x + 15)

hence

KM = 2AB

(x + 21) = 2 (x + 15)

x + 21 = 2x + 30

x - 2x = 30 - 21

-x = 9

x = -9

1/2 ln(x + 3) - lnx = 0 solve for x

Simplify \frac{1}{2}\imath n(x+3)​2​​1​​ın(x+3) to \frac{\imath n(x+3)}{2}​2​​ın(x+3)​​

\frac{\imath n(x+3)}{2}-\imath nx=0​2​​ın(x+3)​​−ınx=0


2

 

Add \imath nxınx to both sides

\frac{\imath n(x+3)}{2}=\imath nx​2​​ın(x+3)​​=ınx


3

 

Multiply both sides by 22

\imath n(x+3)=\imath nx\times 2ın(x+3)=ınx×2


4

 

Regroup terms

\imath n(x+3)=nx\times 2\imathın(x+3)=nx×2ı


5

 

Cancel \imathı on both sides

n(x+3)=nx\times 2n(x+3)=nx×2


6

 

Divide both sides by nn

x+3=\frac{nx\times 2}{n}x+3=​n​​nx×2​​


7

 

Subtract 33 from both sides

x=\frac{nx\times 2}{n}-3x=​n​​nx×2​​−3
