Answer:
AX : XB as AB : AC
AX = 5
XB = 4
AC = 6
AB = x
Step-by-step explanation:
5 : 4 as to x : 6
ratios can also be written as fractions...
5/4 = x/6 ..now we have a proportion...so we cross multiply
(4)(x) = (5)(6)
4x = 30
x = 30/4
x = 15/2 <==== AB = 15/2
Answer:
One solution, x = 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to solve this is to take one equation and substitute into the other and then solve. So, take y=5(x-4) and put that into the other equation.
4x + 12 = -y
4x + 12 = -(5(x-4)) <--- substitution here
4x + 12 = -5(x-4)
4x + 12 = -5x + 20 <-- simplifying
4x + 5x = 20 - 12
9x = 8
x = 8/9
No... congruent means they are exactly the same, just rotatet or dislocated
