Answer:

$-\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Put this into an equation

$-\frac{5}{3} - x = \frac{5}{6}$

Step 2: Solve for x

$-x = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{5}{3}$

$-x = \frac{5}{2}$

$x =- \frac{5}{2}$

Therefore you need to subtract $-\frac{5}{2}$ from $-\frac{5}{3}$ to get $\frac{5}{6}$

The triangles are similar.

RSB [31]

Answer:

The value of x is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of x, we first need to find the scale factor. We can find this by dividing any side of the larger triangle with the corresponding part of the smaller triangle.

28/7 = 4

This means everything in the larger triangle is 4 times as great as the smaller triangle. Knowing this, we can set the larger hypotenuse equal to 4 times the smaller.

6x + 28 = 4(25)

6x + 28 = 100

6x = 72

x = 12

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.x ^ 2 + 16x + 59 = 0First, choose the appropriate form and fill in the bla

nikitadnepr [17]

Given:

There are given the quadratic equation:

$x^2+16x+59=0$

Explanation:

To find the value of x by using completing the square, first, we need to subtract 59 on both sides of the given equation:

So,

From the given equation:

$\begin{gathered} x^2+16x+59=0 \\ x^2+16x+59-59=0-59 \\ x^2+16x=-59 \end{gathered}$

Now,

Take half of the x term and square it:

So,

From the x term,

$\lbrack16\cdot\frac{1}{2}\rbrack^2=64$

Then,

Add 64 on both sides of the above equation.

So,

$\begin{gathered} x^2+16x=-59 \\ x^2+16x+64=-59+64 \\ x^2+16x+64=5 \\ (x+8)^2=5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, an option first is correct:

$(x+8)^2=5$

Now,

From the above square:

$\begin{gathered} (x+8)^2=5 \\ x+8=\pm\sqrt[]{5} \end{gathered}$

Then,

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation;;

So,

$\begin{gathered} x+8=\pm\sqrt[]{5} \\ x+8-8=\pm\sqrt[]{5}-8 \\ x=\pm\sqrt[]{5}-8 \\ x=\sqrt[]{5}-8,\pm\sqrt[]{5}-8 \\ x=-5.7639,-10.236067 \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Hence, the value of x is shown below:

$x=(-5.76,-10.24)$
