Answer:
14x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 15x-x-2
2)14x-2
You are factoring one or more linear expressions (but are not factoring variables).
2.4n+9.6 can be divided by 2.4 and then the result mult. by 2.4:
2.4n+9.6 = 2.4 [ n + 4 ]
Also: -6z+12= 6 [ -z + 2 ] Here I have simplified linear functions but factoring out common constant coefficients (not variables).
The first and the second one are true statements.
Answer:
QR = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the parallelograms are similar then the corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
So AB / PQ = BC / QR
9/3 = 15 / QR
15 / QR = 3
QR = 15/3
= 5. (answer)
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume your diagram is like the one below.
The intersecting secant angles theorem states, "When two secants intersect outside a circle, the measure of the angle formed is one-half the difference between the far and the near arcs."
For your diagram, that means
![\begin{array}{rcl}m\angle L &=&\dfrac{1}{2} \left(m \widehat {JM} - m\widehat {PQ}\right)\\\\(3x + 13)^{\circ}& = &\dfrac{1}{2} \left[(8x + 48)^{\circ} - (5x - 20)^{\circ}\right]\\\\3x + 13& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(8x + 48 - 5x + 20)\\\\3x + 13& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(3x + 68)\\\\6x + 26 & = & 3x + 68\\6x & = & 3x + 42\\3x & = & 42\\x & = & \mathbf{14}\\\end{array}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Brcl%7Dm%5Cangle%20L%20%26%3D%26%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cleft%28m%20%5Cwidehat%20%7BJM%7D%20-%20m%5Cwidehat%20%7BPQ%7D%5Cright%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%283x%20%2B%2013%29%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D%26%20%3D%20%26%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cleft%5B%288x%20%2B%2048%29%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D%20-%20%285x%20-%2020%29%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D%5Cright%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C3x%20%2B%2013%26%20%3D%20%26%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%288x%20%2B%2048%20-%205x%20%2B%2020%29%5C%5C%5C%5C3x%20%2B%2013%26%20%3D%20%26%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%283x%20%2B%2068%29%5C%5C%5C%5C6x%20%2B%2026%20%26%20%3D%20%26%203x%20%2B%2068%5C%5C6x%20%26%20%3D%20%26%203x%20%2B%2042%5C%5C3x%20%26%20%3D%20%26%2042%5C%5Cx%20%26%20%3D%20%26%20%5Cmathbf%7B14%7D%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D)
Check:
