You just need to plug those expressions inside the formula: it doesn't matter if they're expressions involving a variable instead of plain numbers: the formula becomes

If you want, you can simplify it by expanding the square and then multiply the two parenthesis:

FD/CA = EF/BC
x/(8.5 mm) = (12 mm)/(4 mm)
x = (8.5 mm)*(12/4)
x = 25.5 mm . . . . . . . . . . . the 3rd selection
Construct the perpendicular to <span><span>QR</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span><span> that passes through point </span>X<span>.</span>
105% as a decimal would be 1.05 in decimal form
The correct answer for the problem above is -23 .
Explanation
1. collect the like terms
2x + x - 11 + 3 - 7x = 15
2x , x , & -7x are like terms
-11 & 3 are like terms
2x + x -7x = -4x
-11 + 3 = -8
2. Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign .
-4x = 15 + 8
-4x = 23
3. Make the signs on both sides of the equation
-4x = 23 turning into 4x = -23
answer =
4x = -23
