In order to solve the equation, set up a proportion. Use the similar sides together!

1. 16/8 = x/20.... Similar sides are in one ratio and they equal another ratio...."x" represents the side of VS

2.Solve for "x" by cross multiplying: 8x = 320

3. Divide by 8 to find "x": x = 40

Side VS equals 40. Hope this helped :)

Answer:

$\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\frac{2x+5}{x^{2} -3x} -\frac{3x+5}{x^{3} -9x} -\frac{x+1}{x^{2}-9}$

First, we need to factor each denominator

$\frac{2x+5}{x(x-3)} -\frac{3x+5}{x(x+3)(x-3)} -\frac{x+1}{(x-3)(x+3)}$

So, the least common factor (LCF) is $x(x-3)(x+3)$ , because they are the factors that repeats.

Now, we diviide the LCF by each denominator, to then multiply it by each numerator.

$\frac{(x+3)(2x+5)-3x-5-x(x+1)}{x(x-3)(x+3)} =\frac{2x^{2}+5x+6x+15-3x-5-x^{2}-x }{x(x-3)(x+3)}\\\frac{x^{2}+7x+10}{x(x-3)(x+3)}$

Then, we factor the numerator, to do so, we need to find two numbers which product is 10 and which sum is 7.

$\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}$

Therefore, the expression is equivalent to

$\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}$

The measure of one angle of a right triangle is 56∘ more than the measure of the smallest angle. Find the measure of the smalles

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The sum of all angels for any triangle equals 180°

so we have a right triangle which means we have an angle equals 90° ,angle equals=56°.

step by step

$180 - 56 - 90 = 34$

so the angle tends to equal 34°.
