Answer:

x = -2 0r x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question

X² – 4x – 12=0

solve by completing the square method

we have;

X² – 4x – 12=0

X² – 4x = 12

to make the left hand side a perfect square we add 4 to both sides.

X² -4x  + 4 = 12 + 4

X² -4x  + 4 = 16

from left hand side X² -4x  + 4

= (x -2) × ( x -2)

it can be simply expressed as

( x-2)²

so since X² -4x  + 4  has been simplified to be ( x-2)²

then,

( x-2)² = 16

x - 2 = √ 16

since square root has  two values it can either be positive or negative

so we have

x = 2 + √16

or

x = 2 - √16

therefore

x = 2 + √16

x = 2 + 4

x = 6

0r

x = 2 - 4

x = -2

Which equation represents the following word sentence? Five more than three times x is twenty. 5x + 3 = 20 3x + 5 +20 3(x + 5) =
vitfil [10]
So five plus three times x equals twenty because five is alone and you’re adding three times x and is represents the equal sign and twenty is alone. So the equation is this 5 + 3x = 20

I need help please helppppppppppppppppppppppp

Given:

A figure of a circle and two secants on the circle from the outside of the circle.

To find:

The measure of angle KLM.

Solution:

According to the intersecting secant theorem, if two secant of a circle intersect each other outside the circle, then the angle formed on the intersection is half of the difference between the intercepted arcs.

Using intersecting secant theorem, we get

\angle KLM=\dfrac{1}{2}(Arc(JON)-Arc(KM))

(3x-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(271-(x+6))

(3x-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(271-x-6)

Multiply both sides by 2.

6x-8=265-x

Isolate the variable x.

6x+x=265+8

7x=273

Divide both sides by 7.

x=\dfrac{273}{7}

x=39

Now,

\angle KLM=(3x-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=(3(39)-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=(117-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=113^\circ

Therefore, the measure of angle KLM is 113 degrees.

Answer:

the corresponding sides and angles would be a pair of matching angles or sides that are in the same spot in two different shapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

So look at triangle AWXV and check each side....does side AW correspond with other triangle AX - meaning they are the same?

Repeat to find the same angle in each triangle that matches.
