Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can multiply the numerator and denominator by 2
(4.5/5.5)(2/2)=9/11
both angles would equal the same so you have:
6x-57 = 2x+15
add 57 to each side:
6x = 2x+72
subtract 2x from each side:
4x = 72
divide:
x = 72/4 = 18
now replace x with 18:
6(18) - 57 = 51
2(18) +15 = 51
51 +51 = 102
Angle QNR = 102 degrees
Answer: You should not make that assumption in this problem.
The side-splitter theorem is about the line segments that are formed on the transverals themselves. It is not talking about the distances on the set of parallel lines. If you wanted to find the value of x, you should look for another way to prove the relationship involving the x-value.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x^2 - 4)(x^2 - 4)
Simplifying
(x2 + -4)(x2 + -4)
Reorder the terms:
(-4 + x2)(x2 + -4)
Reorder the terms:
(-4 + x2)(-4 + x2)
Multiply (-4 + x2) * (-4 + x2)
(-4(-4 + x2) + x2(-4 + x2))
((-4 * -4 + x2 * -4) + x2(-4 + x2))
((16 + -4x2) + x2(-4 + x2))
(16 + -4x2 + (-4 * x2 + x2 * x2))
(16 + -4x2 + (-4x2 + x4))
Combine like terms: -4x2 + -4x2 = -8x2
(16 + -8x2 + x4)
