Answer:

<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AC}{AJ}=\dfrac{AB}{AK}

We have:

AC = 1 + 4 = 5

AJ = 1

AB = 1 + x

AK = 1

Substitute:

\dfrac{5}{1}=\dfrac{1+x}{1}

5=1+x           <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

4=x\to x=4

2.

ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{VU}{VM}=\dfrac{VT}{VN}

We hve:

VU = x + 8

VM = x

VT = 49

VN = 49 - 14 = 35

Substitute:

\dfrac{x+8}{x}=\dfrac{49}{35}              <em>cross multiply</em>

35(x+8)=49x          <em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>

35x+280=49x              <em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>

280=14x         <em>divide both sides by 14</em>

20=x\to x=20

anyanavicka [17]
Let's say the number is 9. 10% of 9 is 0.9. Add that to 9 and you would get 9.9. 10% of 9.9 is 0.99. Subtract and you would get 8.91. Then you could do the rest.

Write the equations of three distinct lines that have the same y-intercept,-1.
guajiro [1.7K]
Three possible answers are:
y = 2x-1
y = 5x-1
y = -3x-1

All of them have the same y intercept of -1. The slopes are the only thing that differ.

Any linear equation can be written in the form y = mx+b where
m = slope
b = y intercept
