Answer:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve.  Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle

5               8

---------- = -----------------

15                  x

Using cross products

5x = 15*8

5x = 120

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = 120/5

x = 24

6x +12 - 3x = 70 <br> Plz step by step
xxTIMURxx [149]

6x +12 - 3x = 70

6x-3x+12= 70

3x+12= 70

move +12 to the other side

sign changes from +12 to -12

3x+12-12=70-12

3x= 58

divide by 3 for both sides

3x/3=58/3

x=58/3 or x=19 1/3

Answer: x=58/3 or x=19 1/3

"We use different formulas to find the distance of a segment on a number line, d=|a−b|, and the distance of a segment in the coo
olganol [36]
Distances are considered to be non-negative in all cases.

The absolute value function is necessary to get a positive result when the difference of coordinate values is negative.

The square root function is defined to return a positive result always, so no absolute value function is required when the distance is found using the square root function.
