Hello Alondra,
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the ratios formed by the similar triangles.
Or proportion can be:
x/(x+2) = 10/15
Cross multiply to solve it:
10x + 20 = 15x
20 = 5x
4 = x
The value of x is 4.
I hope this helps,

Answer:
y = (x - 2)² + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the equation in vertex form use the method of completing the square.
Add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 4x
y = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 + 13
= (x - 2)² + 9 ← in vertex form
Answer:
The answer would be 3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no.of beads = 16
No.of blue beads = 3
Probability of picking a blue bead = 3/16
Answer:
24 mph for both 60 miles and 40 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find how long it takes to get to college and from it.
Speed x time (x) = Distance (60)
30x = 60
x=2
It takes two hours to get to college
20x = 60
x = 3
It takes 3 hours to get back. It's a total of 5 hours, 2 hours at 30mph and 3 at 20. Now we need to find the average
30+30+20+20+20=120
120/5= 24
The average speed for the round trip is 24.
To do the second part, we follow the same process, but replace 60 with 40 for distance.
30x=40
x= 1.33
20x=40
x=2
We can add the total distance and divide by total time to find the average.
The total distance is 80. Time is 3.33
80/3.33=24
The average speed is still 24.
