Make use of the fact that side lengths in similar triangles are proportional.
.. 30/18 = (20 +x)/20
.. 20*(30/18) -20 = x . . . . multiply by 20, subtract 20
.. 33 1/3 -20 = x . . . . . . . . evaluate the product
.. 13 1/3 = x
Answer:
I,R,I,I,R,I,R,R,I,R,I,R,I,I,R,R,I,I,I,I
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember to include the positive and negative roots
(7x-2)^2=256
sqrt both sides
7x-2=+/-16
add 2 to both sides
7x=2+/-16
divdide both sides by 7
x=(2+/-16)/7)
x=(2+16)/7=18/7=2 and 4/7
x=(2-16)/7=-14/7=-2
x=2 and 4/7 or -2
Answer: x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
(3)(2x) = 6x
(3)(4) = 12
12-12 cancels out
72-12 = 60
6x/6 cancels the 6 out
60/6 = 6
x = 6
