If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.

5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN

Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:

x = (5/6)*9
x = 7.5

Math question please help

spin [16.1K]

The formula of a midpoint of the segment between the points

$(x_1,\ y_1),\ (x_2,\ y_2)\\\\M\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

We have:

$(17,\ -11),\ (-14,\ -16)$

Substitute:

$M\left(\dfrac{17+(-14)}{2},\ \dfrac{-11+(-16)}{2}\right)\to M\left(\dfrac{3}{2},\ \dfrac{-27}{2}\right)$

5x is equal to 8X raise to power - 1/3

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

No solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x = 8x^-1/3

Divide 8 into both sides.

5/8x = x^-1/3

Divide both sides by x.

5/8 = x^-4/3

Multiply both sides by the exponent -3/4.

5/8^-3/4 = x

1.422624 = x

Plug in 1.422624 for x to check.

It does not work. There are no real solutions.
