Find the value of x.
1 answer:
Answer: The answer is x = 6 units.
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram
The diagram in the question shows two triangles placed on each other and for convenience sake has been labelled ABDCE. Triangle ABC is a right angled triangle, and so is triangle ADE. From the marks on the lines, we can infer that line AD is equal in measurement to line DB. Also line AE is equal in measurement to line EC.
Therefore we can see the similarity in both triangles, if AD and AE equals DB and EC, then it follows that DE equals BC.
Hence if AD = DB and
AE = EC, and
DE = BC
Then, x - 3 = ½x
(½x can also be expressed as x/2)
x - 3 = x/2
By cross multiplication we now have
2(x - 3) = x
2x - 6 = x
By collecting like terms we now have
2x - x = 6
x = 6

A would be your answer.
(I am going to assume that the set of numbers are multiplied by exponents.)
To solve you just need to calculate each one. Note that for positive exponents you move the decimal point to the right and negative exponents you move the decimal point to the left.
The first scientific notation would be equal to 2700 because you move the decimal point 3 places to the right, since the exponent is positive.
The second scientific notation would be equal to 0.00424 because you move the decimal point 3 places to the left, since the exponent is negative.
The third scientific notation would equal 470 because you move the decimal point 2 places to the right, since the exponent is positive.
The last scientific notation would equal 0.043 because you move the decimal point 2 places to the left, since the exponent is negative.
