Use the side-splitter theorem to solve for x in the triangle below. 21 42

x = 8

Solution:

Side-splitter theorem:

<em>If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally.</em>

$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{21} =\frac{x}{42}

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 4 × 42 = 21x

Divide by 21 on both sides, we get

⇒ 4 × 2 = x

⇒ 8 = x

Switch the sides.

⇒ x = 8

The value of x is 8.

Write the following expression using the fewest possible terms.<br><br> (−2x − 13) + (19 + 5x)
MakcuM [25]

The rewritten form of the given expression using the fewest terms is; 3x + 6.

<h3>What is the rewritten form of.the expression using the least possible terms?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the given expression is to be rewritten using the fewest terms.

Since the given expression is;

( −2x − 13 ) + ( 19 + 5x )

By getting rid of the parentheses; we have;

-2x - 13 + 19 + 5x

By collecting like terms; we have;

-2x + 5x - 13 + 19

3x + 6

Therefore, the required rewritten form of the given expression is; 3x + 6.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x=133

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: m║n

This means that 147 and x+14 are <em>alternate exterior angles</em>. This also means that they are equivalent. We can use this information to set up an equation:

x+14=147

Subtract 14 from both sides to isolate x

x=133
