Answer:
<u>x = 6</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the sides in proportion :
- EB/DC = AB/AC
- 8/24 = -3 + 2x/27
- 1/3 = -3 + 2x/27
- 3(-3 + 2x) = 27
- -9 + 6x = 27
- 6x = 36
- <u>x = 6</u>
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation: Cross multiply, so 15 times x and 21 times 5. 21 times 5 is 105 then you divide by 15 which gives you 7.
A) x^2 +x -30 = 0 is factored by looking for two factors of 30 that differ by 1. We know ... 30 = 1*30 = 2*15 = 3*10 = 5*6The last two factors differ by 1, so we can factor the trinomial as (x +6)(x -5) = 0
b) The solutions are found by finding values of x that make these factors zero. The only way the product will be zero is if one or more of the factors is zero. x + 6 = 0 x = -6 . . . . . subtract 6
x - 5 = 0 x = 5 . . . . . add 5
The solutions are x = -6 or x = 5These are the values of x that will satisfy the equation (make it true). What they mean depends on the meaning of the variable and the situation the equation is a model of.
