Answer:

So M is the midpoint of RS lmbo

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have here are lengths of two equal segments, expressed as different algebraic expressions.

you just set those two expressions equal, and solve for x.  Then plug that x into EITHER of the two expressions, to get the equal lengths of RM & MS.

<h3>Answer: 45</h3>

The value is approximate.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Focus on the upper triangle.

Label the unknown horizontal side as y

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for y

a^2+b^2 = c^2

10^2 + y^2 = 26^2

100+y^2 = 676

y^2 = 676-100

y^2 = 576

y = sqrt(576)

y = 24

-----------

Now move to the bottom triangle

With respect to the reference angle, the side y = 24 is opposite this. The hypotenuse is unknown.

Use the sine rule to connect the two and solve for x

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(32) = y/x

sin(32) = 24/x

x*sin(32) = 24

x = 24/sin(32)

x = 45.2899179551967 which is approximate

x = 45 rounding to the nearest whole number

Side x is approximately 45 cm long.

Note: make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

-3/5x - 7/20x + 1/4x= -56
romanna [79]

Answer:

x = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine − 3/5x and 7/20x to get -19/20x.

Then combine -19/20x and 1/4x and you get -7/10x.

Then you multiply both sides by -10/7 which is the reciprocal of -7/10.

Make -56(-10) one fraction.

Multiply -56 and -10 and you get 560.

Then divide 560 by 7 to get 80.
