<u>Answer:</u>
The value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2 is -10
<u>Solution:</u>
Need to determine which value of x from given option is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
Lets first solve 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
=> 3x – 12 ≥ 5x + 2
=> 3x – 5x ≥ 12 + 2
=> -2x ≥ 14
=> -x ≥ 7
=> x ≤ -7
All the values of x which are less than or equal to -7 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2. From given option there is only one value that is -10 which is less than -7
Hence from given option -10 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2.
The opposite of the number a divided by the number
The answer is 7/16 because if you turn the denominator into a bigger number so you can get the answer, it becomes 14/16 and half of that is 7/16.
Answer:
a. x = 7
b. x = 36/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Points to remember</u>
The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.
<u>a). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE
We can write,
AB/AD = AC/AE
3/6 = x/(x + 7)
3(x + 7) = 6 * x
3x + 21 = 6x
6x - 3x = 21
3x = 21
x = 21/3 = 7
<u>b). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure b we get
ΔABC ~ ΔEDF
AB/DE = BC/DF
4/5 = x/9
x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5
