Answer:

C. - X = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for x from the given figure.

In ΔADB and ΔCDB

 ∠ABD=∠BCD         (Corresponding angle of two right triangle)

 ∠ADB=∠CDB         (Each 90°)

∴  ΔADB ≈ ΔCDB  By AA similarity

If two triangles are similar then ratio of their corresponding height are same.

Substitute the value of side into the expression

Cross multiply and solve for x

x can't be negative because side of triangle is positive.

Hence, The value of x is 5 units.

(6u^2+5u^2v^2−3uv^2)−(4u^4+5u^2^v^2−5uv)
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

-4u^{4}+6u^{2}-5uv-3uv^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

When subtracting polynomials, first start with distributing the negative sign to the second polynomial:

6u^{2} + 5u^{2} v^{2}-3uv^{2}-4u^{4}-5u^{2}v^{2}+5uv

Simplify by combining like terms:

-4u^{4}+6u^{2}-5uv-3uv^{2}
