Solve the equation above

Mathematics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago

Answer:

X = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 X (5X-8) = -9

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

2 X 1/2 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)

1 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2

5 x -8 = 2 x (-9)

5 x -8 = -18

Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides

5X -8 + 8=-18 + 8

Then eliminate the opposites

5X = -18 + 8

Calculate the sum

5X = -10

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

5X DIVIDE 5 = -10 DIVIDE BY 5

X = -10 DIVIDE BY 5

X = -2

Given Δ XYZ ≅ Δ EGF, find the measurements of the unknown sides and angles.
mamaluj [8]
The two triangles are similar and equal therefore; It means the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are equal. Hence;
 ZX=EF, thus,ZX = 1.3 in. 
EG = XY, thus, EG = 3.0 in.
m∠ X = m∠E, thus m ∠X = 48°
m∠ G = m∠Y, and angles in a triangle add up to 180 thus;
  m ∠ G=180- (107 +48) = 25°
