So since they are similar
AC/BC=CD/CE

so
(66-x)/30=(x+4)/5
times both sides by 5
(66-x)/6=x+4
times both sides by 6
66-x=6(x+4)
distribute
66-x=6x+24
add x to both sides
66=7x+24
minus 24 from both sides
42=7x
divide both sides by 7
6=x
x=6 units

I’m confused on this one
makkiz [27]
In this problem, there are 2 similar triangles: triangle FMN and triangle FGH.

Their ratio to each other is 1:2 which we know by the midpoints.

If they have a ratio of 1:2, line segment GH is the 2 times of line segment MN.

To find x:
8x + 2 = 2 \times 13 \\  \\ 8x + 2 = 26 \\  \\ 8x = 24 \\  \\ x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:  a) in 44 % solution there is 0.44 · 25 ml = 11 ml.

Total volume of acid is 225 ml + 11 ml = 236 ml

b) vol-% of acid is 236 ml /(225 ml + 25 ml) · 100 % = 94.4 %

Solve sin4x cosx-sinx cos4x = sqrt(2)/2 for [0, 2pi)
natita [175]

Answer:

x = π/12, π/4, 3π/4, 11π/12, 17π/12, 19π/12

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(4x) cos x − sin x cos(4x) = √2 / 2

Use angle difference formula.

sin(4x − x) = √2 / 2

sin(3x) = √2 / 2

3x = π/4 + 2kπ, 3π/4 + 2kπ

x = π/12 + 2kπ/3, π/4 + 2kπ/3

x = π/12, π/4, 3π/4, 11π/12, 17π/12, 19π/12

Question 11 of 20 : Select the best answer for the question. 11. Find the value of x in the equation 2(x – 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6).
ivolga24 [154]
<span>To answer this question, you need to know the rules to move a number to the left or right side of the equal sign. To solve this, you need to move all the x into one side, and then move the number into another side. The calculation would look like this:


2(x – 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6)
2x -6 +5x = 10x +30
2x+ 5x - 10x = 30 +6
-3x= 36
x= 36/-3= -12</span>
