If triangles PQR and STU are similar then PQ corresponds to ST and PR corresponds to SU. Therefore, PQ/ST=PR/SU
Considering that, PQ= 7-x, ST= 13-x, PR= x²+5 and SU= x² +20
therefore, (7-x)/(13-x)= (x²+5)/(x²+20)
cross multiplying,
7x² +140-x³+20x =13x²+65-x³-5x
combining the like terms,
6x² +15x -75=0
solving for x,
x = 5/2 or -5
Answer:
x=-1/5
double zero
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x+1)(5x+1)
x=-1/5
double zero
First, write it as an equation
2.50+3x=5.05
Next, subtract 2.50 from both sides
2.50-2.50+3x=5.05-2.50
3x=2.55
Divide 3 on both sides
3x/3=2.55/3
x=0.85
