Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding segments of similar triangles are proportional. Here, the similar triangles are ...
ΔABC ~ ΔADE
so the relationship between the sides is ...
BC/BA = DE/DA . . . . . . we put the unknown value in the numerator
x/4 = 12/(4+8)
x = 4(1) = 4
The length of side x is 4.
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number be represented by x
Let the smaller number be represented by y
from the question, the next equations can be gotten :
x - y = 9 equation 1
x = 1 + 2y equation 2
Substitute for x in equation 1
1 + 2y - y = 9
1 + y = 9
Collect like terms
y = 9 - 1
y = 8
Substitute for y in equation 1 and solve for x (the larger number)
x - 8 = 9
x = 9 + 8
x = 17
