2 (x - 5) = 8
To solve, you use the distributive property as shown below!! :)
2x - 10 = 8
2x = 18
x = 9
Hope this helped you :)
Step-by-step explanation:
- Since m∠ACM = 90°, then by angle addition, m∠ACP + m∠PCM = 90°.
- Since CP⊥ AM, then by definition of perpendicular, m∠APC = 90°. Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, that means m∠PAC + m∠ACP = 90°.
- By substitution, m∠PCM = m∠PAC.
- Since m∠PCM + m∠CMP = 90°, then by substitution, m∠CMP = m∠PAC.
- Therefore, by AAA, △ACP and △CMP are similar.
Having proven that the triangles are similar, we can write the proportion:
AP / CP = CP / MP
9 / CP = CP / 16
CP² = 144
CP = 12
Now, we can simply use Pythagorean theorem to find the other sides.
AC² = AP² + CP²
AC² = 9² + 12²
AC = 15
CM² = CP² + PM²
CM² = 12² + 16²
CM = 20
Answer: p-8
Step-by-step explanation:first thins problem is impossible without knowing the lifespan of a puma. But if you knew it oh let’s say it was 20 you would subtract the puma by 8.
Heyo Kiddo. How are you doing today?
Let's figure this out.
So in number form, the equation will be looking a little like this:
To solve.
So I hope this answers your question and that you have a great day. :)
