Answer:

A) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangles YRZ and QRS are similar by AA, the ratio of their sides should be constant. Since RY=QY, let's call that side length y.

\dfrac{x+2}{y}=\dfrac{3x-8}{2y}

Multiply both sides by 2y:

2(x+2)=3x-8 \\\\2x+4=3x-8 \\\\4=x-8 \\\\x=12

Hope this helps!

Find how many solutions there are to the given equation that satisfy the given condition. X1 + x2 + x3 = 22, each x; is a positi
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are three variables satisfying the equation

X1 + x2 + x3 = 22

Here each x is given to be a positive integer

i.e. solution set for each of the variable can be any integer from 1 to 20 at most.(because if two other integers are 1 each third has to be 20)

Hence solution set can be of the form

(x1,x2,x3) =(1,1,22) (1,2,21) (1,3,20).....

=(2,1,19) (2,2,18),...\\=(3,1,18) (3,2,17),....\\...\\...\\=(20,1,1)

If x1 =1, there are 20 solution sets

If x1 =2,there are 19

...

If x1 =20 there is 1 set

Hence total solutions can be= 20+19+...+1\\=\frac{20(21)}{2} =210
