Answer:

x = 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles to solve this problem.  Put the same side of the small triangle over the same side of the large triangle

5 in           8 in

--------- = ------------

15 in         x in

Using cross products

5x = 8*15

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 8*15/5

x = 8*3

x = 24 inches

Look at the picture.

We have the similar triangles (AAA). Therefore the lengths of the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{x}{8}=\dfrac{15}{5}

\dfrac{x}{8}=3           <em>multiply both sides by 8</em>

\boxed{x=24\ in}

ASAP HELP! BRAINLIEST! can someone help me with this? i need work shown. will mark brainliest!
ki77a [65]

Answer:

  4x^2 +12x +44 remainder 161x +84

Step-by-step explanation:

At each step, the quotient term is the ratio of the leading dividend term to the leading divisor term. The first quotient term, for example, is ...

  (4x^4)/(x^2) = 4x^2

The quotient term found this way is multiplied by the divisor and subtracted from the dividend. The difference is the new dividend and the process repeats.

You're done when the degree of the dividend is less than the degree of the divisor. This remainder can be expressed as a fraction with the divisor as the denominator.

  \dfrac{4x^4+5x-4}{x^2-3x-2}=4x^2+12x+44+\dfrac{161x+84}{x^2-3x-2}
