Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides are proportional.
BE/CD = AE/AD
20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)
20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)
In standard form, this is ...
3x^2 -15x -528 = 0
x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3
(x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
x = 16
__
This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.
You need to divide the miles by the hours to et the Average speed.
M divided by h = s
Because to get the mph (miles per hour) you multiply the average speed to the hours.
S•h=mph
