3(bx - 2ab) = b(x - 7a) + 3ab
<=> 3bx - 6ab = bx - 7ab + 3ab
<=> 3bx - bx = 6ab - 7ab + 3ab
<=> 2bx = 2ab
<=> x = a

Answer:

The value of x = a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

3 (bx - 2ab) = b (x - 7a) + 3ab

Use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

3bx - 6ab = bx - 7ab + 3ab

Now add the like variable.

3bx - 6ab = bx - 4ab

Subtract bx and add 6ab on both sides.

3bx - 6ab - bx + 6ab = bx - bx - 4ab + 6ab

2bx = 2ab

Divide both the side by 2b.

x = a

Hence, the value of x = a.

A rectangle has an area of 72 swaure units. The width of the rectangle is 9 units. The length of the rectangle is 2x + 4. What i

vichka [17]

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Width multiplied by Length

Substitute in all the known numbers into this formula to get

72 = (9) × $(2x+4)$

Solve the equation for x, to find out the length

$9(2x+4)=72$

$2x+4=72/9$

$2x+4=8$

$2x=8-4$

$2x=4$

$x=4/2$

$x=2$

Length of the rectangle = $(2x+4)$

$2(2)+4$

$4+4=8$

If C is between A and B, then answer the following if AB=40, AC= 2x+10, CB= 3x-5

Marat540 [252]

If C is between A and B, then, we can write the equation

$AB = AC + CB$

Substitute the value of AB and the expressions for AC and CB in terms of x.

$40 = (2x+10)+(3x-5)$

We can now solve for x.

$40-10+5= 2x+3x$

$35=5x$

Dividing by 5.

$7=x$

$AB=40$

$AC=2(7)+10$

$AC=14+10$

$AC=24$

$BC=3(7)-5$

$BC=21-5$

$BC=16$

In Triangle ABC shown below, side AB is 6 and side AC is 4.

Amanda [17]

Answer: A is the correct option.Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle ABC where AC=4 and AB=6

then to prove segment DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length.

the length of AD and AE must divide AC and AB respectively to get the same ratio of 2:1

To apply converse of basic proportionality theorem.

If we take first option Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 2 then

$\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{6}{3}=\frac{2}{1},\frac{AC}{AE}=\frac{4}{2}=\frac{2}{1}\\\Rightarrow\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AC}{AE}$

Therefore by converse of basic proportionality theorem

DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length.

Therefore A is correct option.
