Answer: x=\dfrac{25}{21}

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram = Base x height

If two parallelograms are similar, then their corresponding sides are proportional.

That means, \dfrac{\text{Area of first parallleogram}}{\text{Area of second parallleogram}}=\dfrac{\text{height of first parallelogram}}{\text{height of second parallelogram}}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x+5}{9x}=\dfrac{16}{20}\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x+5}{9x}=\dfrac{4}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow 5(3x+5)=4(9x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 15x+25 = 36x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 36x-15x=25\\\\\Rightarrow\ 21x = 25\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{25}{21}

Hence, x=\dfrac{25}{21}

5x + 9 = x - 23 find X​
Doss [256]

5x + 9 = x - 23

move x to the other side

sign changes from +x to -x

5x-x+9= x-x-23 ( combine like terms)

5x-x+9= -23

4x+9= -23

move -9 to the other side

4x+9-9= -23-9

4x= -23-9

4x= -32

divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself

4x/4= -32/4

answer:

x= -8

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-5, -1) with slope -3.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

y= -3x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is written as y=mx+b.  m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.  -3=m

we know that (-5,-1) is 5 points away from the origin, and that the slope is -3, so 5 times -3 equals -15.  subtract 15 from -1 (y-coordinate) in order to get the y-intercept (when x=0).
