Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and ratios.  Put the small triangle side over the large triangle side.

9cm            3x -20

----------   = ----------------    We need to add the sides to get to the larger triangle

72+9 cm   3x-20 + 56


We can cross multiply to solve

9 * (3x-20+56) = (72+9) * (3x-20)

Simplify

9*(3x+36) = 81*(3x-20)

Distribute

27x +324 = 243x -1620

Subtract 27x from each side

27x-27x +324 = 243x-27x -1620

324 = 216x-1620

Add 1620 to each side

324+1620 = 216x

1944 = 216x

Divide each side by 216

1944/216 = 216x/216

9=x

Answer:

im not great at math but i think x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

9/72=0.125

72*0.125=9

so 56*0.125=7

therefore 3x-20=7

solve for x

3x - 20 = 7  

3x = 7 + 20  

3x = 27 (divide both sides by 3 to get x)  

3x/3 = 27/3  

x = 9  

......

.......

or you can try

56/72=0.77777777777

72*0.77777777777=56

so 9*0.77777777777=7

therfore 3x-20=7

solve for x

3x - 20 = 7  

3x = 7 + 20  

3x = 27 (divide both sides by 3 to get x)  

3x/3 = 27/3  

x = 9

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 316. Find the two odd integers.
Tcecarenko [31]
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ......
notice, there are consecutive odd integers, every other number
skip one, another, skip one, another and so on

so, from 1 to 3, is 1 + 2 =3
5 is 3 +2
7 is 5+2
and so on

let us pick an odd integer, hmmm say "a"
to find the next odd one, it'd be "a + 2" of course :)

we know their sum is 316
so \bf a+(a+2)=316\impliedby \textit{solve for "a"}

once you found "a", the next one is, well, "a + 2" :)

Help me pleaseeee:((

Answer:

y=x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Everytime the x value increases the y value increases by 1

therefore the slope is 1

to solve for the y intercept, or b, plug in a point

(1,-2) for example,

-2= 1*1+b

-2= 1+b

b= -3

therefore y=x-3
