Solution, solve\:for\:x,\:\left|x\right|-8=-5\quad :\quad x=-3\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x=3

Steps:

\left|x\right|-8=-5

\mathrm{Add\:}8\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}, \left|x\right|-8+8=-5+8

\mathrm{Simplify}, \left|x\right|=3

|f\left(x\right)|=a\quad \Rightarrow \:f\left(x\right)=-a\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:f\left(x\right)=a, x=-3\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x=3

\mathrm{This\:Question\:Has\:2\:Answers}

\mathrm{The\:Correct\:Answer\:is\:x=-3\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x=3}

\mathrm{Hope\:This\:Helps!!!}

In the diagram, BC¯¯¯¯¯∥DE¯¯¯¯¯ .<br><br> What is AE ?
emmainna [20.7K]
So there are two triangles here: Smaller one (ADE) and bigger one (ABC) and they both are similar.

So you can use proportions here.

AB / AC = AD / AE

AB = AD + DB = 6 + 1 = 7
AC = AE + 3

AD = 6

So plug in these values:

AB / AC = AD / AE becomes
7 / (AE + 3) = 6 / AE

Now do the cross multiply:

7 AE = 6 (AE + 3)

Now solve for AE:

7AE = 6AE + 18

AE = 18

What’s the value of x? :/
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

According to congruent chords and arcs theorem, if \overline{XY} \cong \overline{ZY} then \arc{XY} \cong \arc{ZY}.

This means that \arc{XY} = \arc{ZY} = (6x - 20) degrees

Thus:

\arc{XY} + \arc{ZY} + \arc{ZX} = 360 (full circle = 360°)

\arc{XY} = (6x - 20)

\arc{ZY} = (6x - 20)

\arc{ZX} = 76

Plug in the values into the equation

(6x - 20) + (6x - 20) + 76 = 360

6x - 20 + 6x - 20 + 76 = 360

Add like terms

12x + 36 = 360

Subtract 36 on both sides

12x = 360 - 36

12x = 324

Divide both sides by 12

x = 27
