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

What is the value of x in the equation (StartFraction one-half EndFractionx + 12) = StartFraction one-half EndFraction(StartFrac

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$x =-24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(\frac{2}{3})(\frac{1}{2}x + 12) = (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{3}x + 14) - 3$

Required

Solve for x

$(\frac{2}{3})(\frac{1}{2}x + 12) = (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{3}x + 14) - 3$

Open all brackets

$\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{2}{3}*12 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{1}{2}*14 - 3$

$\frac{2 * 1}{3 *2}x + \frac{2 * 12}{3}= \frac{1 * 1}{2 * 3}x + \frac{1 * 14}{2} - 3$

$\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{24}{3}= \frac{1}{6}x + \frac{14}{2} - 3$

$\frac{1}{3}x +8= \frac{1}{6}x + 7 - 3$

Collect like terms

$\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{6}x =7 - 3 -8$

$\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{6}x =-4$

Solve fraction

$\frac{2-1}{6}x =-4$

$\frac{1}{6}x =-4$

Multiply both sides by 6

$6 * \frac{1}{6}x =-4 * 6$

$x =-4 * 6$

$x =-24$

Write the set of real numbers from - 10 through 10 in interval notation.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

1) $(-10,10)$ - Greater than -10 and less than 10.

2) $[-10, 10]$ - Greater than or equal to -10 and less than or equal to 10.

3) $[-10, 10)$ - Greater than or equal to -10 and less than 10.

4) $(-10, 10]$ Greater than -10 and less than or equal to 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four form of describing that set in interval notation, which presented below:

1) $(-10,10)$ - Greater than -10 and less than 10.

2) $[-10, 10]$ - Greater than or equal to -10 and less than or equal to 10.

3) $[-10, 10)$ - Greater than or equal to -10 and less than 10.

4) $(-10, 10]$ Greater than -10 and less than or equal to 10.
