The answer is x=4.
set the equations up: 8x-5=6x-3
Subtract 6x from one side and then the other side 2x-5=3
Add 5 from one side and then the other 2x=8
Divide 2 on each side which gets you x=4

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,3) and (7,3)

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

find out the slope

m = (3-3)/(4-7)

m = 0

so the line is horizontal

passing through the point (x,3)

x can be any value

so the equation is

y = 3

The square of a number is 12 less than 7 times the number. What is the number?

hjlf

Answer:

The number is either 3 or 4

Explanation:

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

The square of the number would be x²

7 times the number would be 7x

We are given that:

square of the number (x²) is 12 less than 7 times the number (7x)

Translating this into an equation, we would have:

x² = 7x - 12

Rearranging the quadratic equation:

x² - 7x + 12 = 0

Now, we factor the equation:

(x-4)(x-3) = 0

This means that:

either x-4 = 0 ..................> x = 4

or x-3 = 0 ........................> x = 3

Let's check if any of the solutions is an extrovert:

For x = 3 .............> (3)² = 7(3) - 12 .........> 9 = 21 - 12 .......> 9 = 9 .......> not extrovert

For x = 4 .............> (4)² = 7(4) - 12 .........> 16 = 28 - 12 .....> 16 = 16 ....> not extrovert

Since we have no restrictions on the number, therefore, both solutions would be accepted

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

option D. 126 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

Triangles PQR and XYZ are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

$\frac{XY}{PQ}=\frac{YZ}{QR}=\frac{XZ}{PR}$

Let

z ---> the scale factor

$z=\frac{XY}{PQ}$

substitute the given values

$z=\frac{30}{5}=6$

step 2

Find the perimeter of triangle XYZ

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

p_1 ----> the perimeter of triangle XYZ

p_2 ---> the perimeter of triangle PQR

$z=\frac{p_1}{p_2}$

The perimeter of triangle PQR is

$p_2=5+10+6=21\ cm$

we have

$z=6\\p_2=21\ cm$

substitute

$6=\frac{p_1}{21}$

$p_1=6(21)=126\ cm$

therefore

The perimeter of triangle XYZ is 126 cm
