Answer:
1. 37.5
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. the smaller triangle and the bigger triangle are similar, so the sides are also similar.
this means that 16/46 = 20/(x+20)
then, just solve that for x
16/46 = 20/(x+20)
divide both sides by 4
4/46 = 5/(x+20)
multiply both sides by (x + 20)
(x+20) * 4/46 = 5
multiply both sides by 46
4x + 80 = 230
subtract 80
4x = 150
divide 4
x = 37.5
2. do the same thing ( still similar triangles)
the equation would be (3x + 1)/10 = (7x - 1)/22
solve
22(3x + 1) = 10(7x - 1)
66x + 22 = 70x - 10
32 = 4x
x = 8
Answer:
B: 4 solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Combining the two equations results in 2x² = 52, or x² = 26.
This equation has two solutions: x = ±√26.
As before, x² = 26. If we substitute 26 for x² in the 1st equation, we get:
26 - 4y² = 16, or 4y² = 10, or y = ±√5/2. Again: two solutions.
If we take x to be +√26, y could be ±√(5/2).
Check: is ( √26, √(5/2) ) a solution of the system?
Subbing these values into the first equation, we get:
26 - 4(5/2) = 16. Is this true?
Then 10 = 10. Yes.
Through three more checks, we find that this system has FOUR solutions.
Answer:13y(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
13xy-52y =13y(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number
3x - 15 = (x - 12)×-4 or (12-x)×-4
3x - 15 = -4x + 48 or -48 + 4x
7x = 63, x = 9 or
33 = x
