Answer:
(b) 48
Step-by-step explanation:
In this geometry, the altitude (x) is the root of the product of the segments of the hypotenuse.
x = √(36·64) = √36×√64 = 6×8
x = 48
_____
All of the triangles are similar, so the ratios of corresponding sides are the same.
short side/long side = x/64 = 36/x
x^2 = (64)(36) . . . . as above
3x12= 36 flowers for $78
78/36 = $2.16 per flower
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
Answer:
Step 2: 20x = 80 + 10x
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: 20x - 10 = 80 + 10x
Add 10 to each side
20x - 10+10 = 80+10 + 10x
20x = 90 + 10x
Step 2: 20x = 80 + 10x This has the first error
Step 3: 10x = 80
Step 4: x= 8
