HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PLEASE HELP

malfutka [58]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to find the value of x.

Know (or prove) that in this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means the ratios of corresponding sides are proportional.

short side / hypotenuse = 9/x = x/25

x^2 = (9)(25) . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 25x ("cross multiply")

x = √((9)(25)) = (3)(5) . . . take the square root

x = 15

"at the end of the year Juan has $52.71 more than 4 times his balance at the beginning of the year if his ending balance was $17

Salsk061 [2.6K]

At the end of the year, Juan has 52.71 more than 4 times his balance at the beginning. Okay, let's set this up.

4x + 52.71
(4 times) (52.71 more)
His ending was 172.90, so
4x + 52.71=172.90
4x= 120.19
x= 30.05
He had $30.05 at the beginning of the year.

(-6,8); perpendicular to y = -3/2x -1

UNO [17]

Answer:

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = - \frac{3}{2} x - 1$

The gradient of a line is the coefficient of x when the equation of the line is written in the form of y=mx+c.

Thus, gradient of given line= $- \frac{3}{2}$ .

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

(Gradient of line)(-3/2)= -1

Gradient of line

$- 1 \div ( - \frac{3}{2} ) \\ = - 1( - \frac{2}{3} ) \\ = \frac{2}{3}$

Substitute m= $\frac{2}{3}$ into y=mx+c:

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + c$

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x= -6, y= 8,

$8 = \frac{2}{3} ( - 6) + c \\ \\ 8 = - 4 + c \\ c = 8 + 4 \\ c = 12$

Thus, the equation of the line is $y = \frac{2}{3} x + 12$ .
