Answer:
<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We have:
AC = 1 + 4 = 5
AJ = 1
AB = 1 + x
AK = 1
Substitute:
<em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>
2.
ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We hve:
VU = x + 8
VM = x
VT = 49
VN = 49 - 14 = 35
Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>
<em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 14</em>
Answer:
I believe this is pathgorean theorem, which I did at the beginning of alegbra last year. It is basically finding the missing side of a triangle. (Trust me some of the easiest stuff you do all year) Below are my notes from last year. I hope it helps! Good Luck!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two sides
If you know two other sides of the right triangle, it's the easiest option; all you need to do is apply the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
if leg a is the missing side, then transform the equation to the form when a is on one side, and take a square root:
a = √(c² - b²)
if leg b is unknown, then
b = √(c² - a²)
for hypotenuse c missing, the formula is
c = √(a² + b²)
Answer:
x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+6(5x-2)=-12
-3x+30x-12=-12
-3x+30x=0
27x=0
x=0
Answer: 7.7 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5x + 5.75 = 25 (<em>x = each mile traveled)</em>
2.5x = 25 - 5.75
2.5x = 19.25
x = 7.7 miles
