Find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tatiana [17]3 years ago
8 0

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

What is the answer to 4|x-1|=12
STatiana [176]

Answer:

(4,0) and (- 2,0): Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value questions have two essential steps.

1. Solve the equation as it is written.

2. Solve it changing the sign of the right hand side. I will include a graph to confirm my answer

4*abs(x - 1) = 12             Divide by 4

  • abs(x - 1) = 12/4            
  • abs(x - 1) = 3                  Equate this to 3
  • x - 1 = 3                          Add 1 to both sides
  • x - 1 + 1 = 3 + 1               Combine
  • x = 4

4*abs(x - 1) = - 12         Divide by 4

  • abs(x - 1) = - 12/4
  • abs(x - 1) = - 3
  • x - 1 = - 3                       Add 1 to both sides
  • x - 1 + 1 = -3 + 1
  • x = - 2

So this has 2 answers

(4,0) and (- 2,0)

graph the following functions to find how many points of intersection there are in y=(x+2)^2+3 and (x+2)^2+(y-2)^2=9
Finger [1]

Refer to the image that I attached to my answer.

According to the graphing calculator, the two equations have two points of intersections (the points where the different colored lines cross).

Happy Studying~
