Answer:

Equation:

5x - 6 = 9

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break this down:

When six is subtracted from five times a number, the result is 9

"five times a number" simply means a variable, such as x, is being multiplied by 5

five times a number: 5x

Next step:

When six is subtracted from five times a number, the result is 9

"six is subtracted from" means 6 is being taken away from whatever comes next, in this case, '5x'

six is subtracted from: - 6

Final section:

When six is subtracted from five times a number, the result is 9

"the result is 9" means the entire equation equals nine

the result is nine: = 9

Put it all together:

5x - 6 = 9

Solve:

5x - 6 = 9

+6 +6

5x = 15

/5 /5

x = 3

Therefore, the value of x is three.

Consider the two triangles.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

(A)Show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over X Y EndFraction , StartFraction W U Over Z X EndFraction , and StartFraction W V Over Z Y EndFraction are equivalent.

$\dfrac{UW}{XZ}=\dfrac{WV}{ZY}=\dfrac{UV}{XY}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In Triangles WUV and XZY:

$\angle VUW$ and \angle YXZ$ are congruent. \\\angle U W V$ and \angle X Z Y$ are congruent.\\ \angle U V W$ and \angle Z Y X$ are congruent.$

Therefore:

$\triangle UWV \cong \triangle XZY$

To show that the triangles are similar by the SSS similarity theorem, we have:

$\dfrac{UW}{XZ}=\dfrac{WV}{ZY}=\dfrac{UV}{XY}$

As a check:

$\dfrac{UW}{XZ}=\dfrac{40}{32}=1.25\\\\\dfrac{WV}{ZY}=\dfrac{60}{48}=1.25\\\\\dfrac{UV}{XY}=\dfrac{50}{40}=1.25$

The correct option is A.
