Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2x-20}{3}=2x$

Multiply both sides by 3:

$2x-20=6x$

Subtract 2x from both sides:

$-20=4x$

Divide both sides by 4:

$x=-5$

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2x_20/3 = 2x

2x_20/3*3 = 2x*3

2x_20 = 6x

2x_6x = 20

-4x = 20

-4x/-4x = 20/-4x

X= -5

CD is perpendicular to AB and passes through point C5, 12).

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

x intercept of CD = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a line AB with its end coordinates. and Another line segment CD which is perpendicular to AB. We have the coordinates of C , and we are asked to find the x intercept of line CD.

For that we need to find the equation of CD

we have coordinates of C , and hence if we have slope of CD we can find equation of CD

Slope of CD can be determine with the help of slope of AB as CD⊥ AB

So, the slope of CD $mCD = -\frac{1}{mAB}$

Hence we start from determining slope of AB

slope is given as

$m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m= \frac{14-(-3)}{7-(-10)}=\frac{17}{17}=1$

Hence $mAB=1$

There fore $mCD=-1$

(∵ Product of Slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1)

Now we find the equation of CD with the help of slope -1 and coordinates of C(5,12)

$m=\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}$

$-1=\frac{y-12}{x-5}$

$-x+5=y-12$

$y=-x+17$

Hence we have our equation , now in order to find the x intercept we keep y = 0 in it and solve for x

$0=-x+17$

$x=17$

Hence the x intercept is 17

The three angles of a triangle are in the ratio 5:4:1. Find all the angles of the triangle.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first angle be 5x

second be 4x

and third be 1x

as we know that by adding all the sides of triangle we get 180°

therefore ,

5x+4x+1x=180°

10x=180°

hence ,

x=18°

first angle - 18*5 = 90°

second angle - 18*4=72°

third angle - 18°
