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

Answer:
m=3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
first, let's put the line 4x+3y=9 from standard form (ax+by=c) into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
we have the equation 4x+3y=9
subtract 4x from both sides
3y=-4x+9
divide by 3
y=-4/3x+3
perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. If the slopes are multiplied together, the result is -1
so to find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=-4/3x+3, we can take the slope of y=-4/3x+3 (-4/3) multiply it by a variable (this is our unknown value), and have that set to -1
(m is the slope value)
-4/3m=-1
multiply by -3/4
m=3/4
therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3/4
hope this helps!! :)
