Answer: The required value of x is 7.5.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the triangles shown in the figure are similar by AA similarity postulate.

We are to find the value of x.

We know that the corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

From the figure, we see that two pairs of corresponding sides in the triangles are (4.5, 3) and (x, 5).

Therefore, we must have

$\dfrac{4.5}{3}=\dfrac{x}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4.5\times5}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.5\times5\\\\\Rightarrow x=7.5.$

Thus, the required value of x is 7.5.

Hello!

4/5 = (4 + 8)/x
4x = 5(12) = 60
x = 60/4 = 15

I hope this helps!

Write two polynomials with a difference of 2x2 + x + 3

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The two polynomial CAN be $5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6$ and $5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+2x+13$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify the expression:

$2*2 + x + 3$

$4+x+3$

$x+7$

Step 2: Think of a random polynomial:

$5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6$

Step 3: Either add your "random polynomial" by $x+7$ or subtract it.

I want to add it so...

$5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6+x+7$

= $5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+2x+13$

Check by subtracting $5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6$ and $5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+2x+13$ .

$5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+2x+13$

- $5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6$

13.1: Equivalent Expressions

scoundrel [369]

Distributive Property: a ( b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

b) x(x + 9) = x*x + 9*x

= x² + 9x

c) x² - 18x

x² = x * x

18x = 18 *x

G C F = x

Greatest common factor in both the terms is 'x'.Take the common variable from both the terms.

x² - 18x = x*x - 18*x

= x (x - 18)

Standard form. Factored form

x² x*x

x² + 9x x(x +9)

x² - 18x x(x - 18)

-x² + 10x x(-x + 10) = x(10 -x)

-x² - 2.75x -x(x + 2.75)
