Answer:

x = -7/12 or -0.583.. repeating.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-5= -6(x+2)

___________ (distributive property)

(to group like terms)

6x-5 = -6x-12

___________ (addition poe) (add 6x on both sides to cancel -6 out)

+6x +6x

___________

12x-5 = -12

__________

+5 +5 (addition poe) (add 5 to both sides to cancel -5 out)

__________

12x = -7

__________

÷12 ÷12 (division poe) (divide both sides by 12 to get x)

x = -7/12

In△XYZ , XY¯¯¯¯¯¯=7in , YZ¯¯¯¯¯=5in , and XZ¯¯¯¯¯=4in . This triangle is reflected across the x-axis to result in △X'Y'Z' . Whic
ki77a [65]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection is a transformation that preserves lengths.

Triangle XYZ, with side lengths XY = 7 in, YZ = 5 in, XZ = 4 in, is reflected across the x-axis to result in △X'Y'Z'.

This means that corresponding sides have the same lengths:

  • XY = X'Y' = 7 in;
  • XZ = X'Z' = 4 in;
  • YZ = Y'Z' = 5 in.

Find the perimeters of both triangles:

P_{XYZ}=XY+XZ+YZ=7+4+5=16\ in\\ \\P_{X'Y'Z'}=X'Y'+X'Z'+Y'Z'=7+4+5=16\ in

Hence, only option B is true.
