Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then corresponding angles are congruent.
∠ I = ∠P ← substitute values and solve for x
3x + 4 = 72 - x ( add x to both sides )
4x + 4 = 72 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
4x = 68 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 17
Answer:
Yes, she is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = kx is direct variation
15 = k*-3
k = -5.
So the equation of variation is
y = -5x
When x = -4:
y -5*-4 = 20.
Answer:
x=30
Step-by-step explanation:
The two angles are supplementary. They add to 180
4x+20 + 40 =180
Combine like terms
4x+60 =180
Subtract 60 from each side
4x+60-60 = 180-60
4x = 120
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 120/4
x = 30
The answer is x=4.
set the equations up: 8x-5=6x-3
Subtract 6x from one side and then the other side 2x-5=3
Add 5 from one side and then the other 2x=8
Divide 2 on each side which gets you x=4
