Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by using ratios of similar triangles
3 x
------ = ------------
3+9 12
3 x
------ = ------------
12 12
x must equal 3 to keep the ratios the same
Answer:4
Step-by-step explanation: each quarter of an hour is 1.5 miles they both can go into 12 so if you multiply 2*4 and 3*4 you get 8/12 and if you multiply 3*3 and 4*3 you get 9/12 then you subtract 9/12 by 8/12 to get so 1/12=1/2 miles so you would subtract 4 1/2 by 1/2 to get 4
The first one, SAS Postulate
-5x = x + 6(1-x)
-5x = x + 6(1) + 6(-x)
-5x = x + 6 -6x
-5x = x - 6x + 6
-5x = -5x + 6
-5x + 5x = 6
0 = 6 Not equal. No solution.
(2x-5)² = (2x-1)(2x+1) -10(2x-1)
(2x-5)(2x-5) = (2x-1)(2x+1) - 20x + 10
2x(2x-5)-5(2x-5) = 2x(2x+1)-1(2x+1) - 20x + 10
4x² - 10x -10x + 25 = 4x² + 2x - 2x -1 - 20x + 10
4x² - 20x + 25 = 4x² - 20x - 1 + 10
4x² - 20x + 25 = 4x² - 20x - 9
Not equal. No solution.
