The issue with using the side-splitter to solve for x is that the side-splitter theorem is used to find lengths of the sides being split by parallel lines. In this case, the x is on a line that is parallel and thus could not be solved for using this theorem.
If we created a triangle where the tops of the non-parallel lines connected, we would be able to compare the following and solve:

However, none of this would help us solve for x using this theorem.
Solution :- Let p(x) be the polynomial such that

Have a great day too..... :)
Hi there!!
First, Let plain shirts be x
Let fancy shirts be y
x + y = 7
15x + 28y = 131
Multiply first equation by 28 to eliminate y:
28x + 28y = 196
<span>15x + 28y = 131
</span>Subtracting the two equations:
13x = 65
<span>x = 5 </span>
Substituting x to get y:
x + y = 7
5 + y = 7
<span>y = 2 </span>
<span>Answer: 5 plain shirts and 2 fancy shirts
</span>
Hope this helps u!!
Have an amazing rest of ur day:)))
For this , you use the distance formula
. based on the graph, use points (0,6) and (7,-2), plug them into the formula to get

and you get B, 10.63
