Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

12^2 + a^2 = 54^2

a^2 = 54^2 - 12^2

a = sqrt (54^2 - 12^2) = 6 * sqrt(77)

Then calculate it for another triangle, where each side is 6 times shorter (as 12/2 = 6):

2^2 + (sqrt(77))^2 = x^2

x^2 = 81

x = 9

What value of x is in the solution set of 2(3x-1) ≥4x-6

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x\geq-2\to x\in[-2,\ \infty)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(3x-1)\geq4x-6\qquad\text{use distributive property}\ a(b-c)=ab-ac\\\\(2)(3x)-(2)(1)\geq4x-6\\\\6x-2\geq4x-6\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\6x\geq4x-4\qquad\text{subtract 4x from both sides}\\\\2x\geq-4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x\geq-2$
