Since both sides are the same, you'd set the two expressions equal to one another.

3x - 5 = 2x + 1
x - 5 = 1
x = 6

So, the value of x is 6.

The triangles are congruent by SAS.
The sides measuring 3x - 5 and 2x + 1 are congruent by CPCTC.

3x - 5 = 2x + 1

3x = 2x + 6

x = 6

2 At Bea's Pet Shop, the number of dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c. If she decides to add three

KatRina [158]

Let D be dogs and C be cats

dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c

D + 5 = 2C

If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio of cats to dogs will be

D + 8 = 2C + 3

Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?

Simply plug in the numbers

20 + 5 = 2(15)

This is clearly not true: 25 does not equal 30

vivado [14]

Answer

Find out the how many notes of each denomination did she give .

To prove

Let us assume that x be the scalar multiplication of the Rs 50, Rs100,Rs500 curreny notes.

As given

Kamala gave Rs 1,50,000 to her friend.

She gave currency notes of denomination Rs. 50,Rs.100,Rs.500 in the ratio 4:3:5.

Rs50 currency note gave in the denomination = 4x

Rs100 currency note gave in the denomination = 3x

Rs500 currency note gave in the denomination = 5x

than the equation becomes

4x + 3x + 5x = 150000

12x = 150000

$x = \frac{150000}{12}$

x = 12500

Thus

Rs50 currency note gave in the denomination = 4 × 12500

= 50000

Rs100 currency note gave in the denomination = 3 × 12500

= 37500

Rs500 currency note gave in the denomination = 5 × 12500

= 62500
