Answer:

  AE = 15 cm; ED = 18 cm; AD = 15 cm (given)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔBEC ~ ΔAED so ...

   AD/BC = AE/BE = (BE+AB)/BE = 1 + AB/BE

Substituting given numbers (lengths in centimeters), we have ...

  15/10 = 1 + 5/BE

  1/2 = 5/BE

  BE = 10

Similarly, ...

  1/2 = 6/CE

  CE = 12

Then the unknown sides are ...

  AE = AB + BE = 5 + 10 = 15 . . . cm

  ED = CE + CD = 12 + 6 = 18 . . . cm

Write each statement as a decimal to two decimal places.
Ad libitum [116K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The above given statements can be written as decimals by first writing both quantities in a statement in the same unit.

1. $6.00 to 95 cents:

This is same as $6.00 : 95 cents = \frac{6.00}{95}956.00

Convert $6 .00 to cents to make both quantities be in the same unit.

$1 = 100 cents

$6.00 = 6*100 = 600 cents

\frac{600}{95} = 6.3295600=6.32 (to 2 d.p)

2. 3 hours to 35 minutes:

Convert 3 hours to 35 mins

1 hr = 60 mins

3 hrs = 3*60 = 180 mins

180mins : 35 mins = \frac{180}{35} = 5.14180mins:35mins=35180=5.14 (2 d.p)

3. 42 inches to 2 feet:

Convert 2 ft to inches

1 ft = 12 inches

2ft = 2*12 = 24 inches

42 in:24 in = \frac{42}{24} = 1.7542in:24in=2442=1.75

Solve for x in the equation below(all in picture).
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

x = - 5, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of logarithms

log x - log y = log (\frac{x}{y} )

log_{b} x = n ⇔ x = b^{n}

note that log x = log_{10} x

Given

log (x² + 3x) - log10 = 0, then

log(\frac{x^2+3x}{10} ) = 0, thus

\frac{x^2+3x}{10} = 10^{0} = 1 ( multiply both sides by 10 )

x² + 3x = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

x² + 3x - 10 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

Solution is x = - 5, x = 2
