since the base of the bigger triangle and the base of the smaller triangle are parallel
therefore the two triangle are similar
this means that 10/24=x/3x-3
30x-30=24x "using cross multiplication"
30x-24x=30
6x=30
X=30/6=5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 2x + 8?

zubka84 [21]

Using the quadratic equation we get:
$\frac{ - 2 + - \sqrt{4 - 32} }{2} = \frac{ - 2 + - \sqrt{ - 28} }{2}$

Factoring out 2 we get
$\frac{ - 2 + - 2\sqrt{ - 7} }{2} = - 1( + - ) \sqrt{ - 7}$
Factoring out the imaginary number:
$- 1 + \sqrt{7} i \: (and) \: - 1 - \sqrt{7} i$
So b.
