Answer:
3, 50, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
By multiplying all terms by 5, we are trying to remove the fraction on the left hand side. On the right hand side of the equation, expand the bracket by multiplying 5 to each term in the bracket.
3(n +25)= 5(10) +5()
3(n +25)= 50 +2n
To find the value of n, expand the bracket on the left hand side:
3(n) +3(25)= 50 +2n
3n +75= 50 +2n
Bring all n terms to one side, constants to the other:
3n -2n= 50 -75
n= -25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to pay very close attention to the triangle similarity statement. This says that triangle NML is similar to triangle NVU. But if you look at the way that triangle NVU is oriented in its appearance, it's laying on its side. We need to set it upright so that angle N is the vertex angle, angle V is the base angle on the left, and angle U is the base angle on the right. When we do that we see that sides NV and NM are corresponding and exist in a ratio to one another; likewise with sides VU and ML. Setting up the proportion:
Filling in:
Cross multiply to get
324 = 108x
and x = 3
