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

A value of a car is $24,000. You pay it off by making payments of $6200 a year. Write and equation for when the car would be pay
Damm [24]

Answer: 24,000 / 6,200 = x years

Step-by-step explanation:

The car is valued at $24,000.

Yearly payments are $6,200.

The year that it will be paid off can be dtermined by calculating how long it would take $6,200 to get to $24,000.

You can do that by dividing $24,000 by $6,200.

Assume the number of years for the car to be paid off is x:

24,000 / 6,200 = x years

<em>When solved:</em>

<em>= 24,000 / 6,200</em>

<em>= 3.87 years </em>

2sin^2 2x=2<br><br> In the domain [0, 2pi)
djverab [1.8K]
Please type this as 2(sin 2x)^2=2      <span>2sin^2 2x=2 is confusing.

Reducing this expression:  (sin 2x)^2 = 1

Taking the sqrt of both sides, sin 2x = plus or minus 1

If sin 2x = 1, then 2x must be pi/2 or 3pi/2, and so x must be pi/4 or 3pi/4.

Now you do this for sin 2x = -1.</span>

4-(2x-3)=3 whats the answer
Oxana [17]

Hello there.

Explanation:

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

4-(2x-3)=3

First, subtract by 4 from both sides.

4-(2x-3)-4=3-4

Second, simplify.

-(2x-3)=-1

Third, divide by -1 from both sides.

\frac{-(2x-3)}{-1}=\frac{-1}{-1}

Fourth, simplify.

2x-3=1

Next, add by 3 from both sides.

2x-3+3=1+3

Then simplify.

2x=4

Therefore, divide by 2 from both sides.

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4}{2}

Finally, simplify.

x=2

<u><em>Answer⇒⇒⇒⇒x=2</em></u>

Hope this helps!

x = 130 is your answer

130 - 20 = 110

Since line E and F are parallel and are straight lines, we know both angles will add up to 180°

110 + 70 = 180

Help.? geometry basics homework 2: segment addition postulate
Neporo4naja [7]

The value of x is 3 given that ST = 8x + 11 and TU = 12x-1

The point that bisects a line divides the line into two equal parts

If T is the midpoint of SU, the following are true:

  • ST = TU
  • ST + TU = SU

Given the following

ST = 8x + 11

TU = 12x-1

Since ST = TU

8x+11 = 12x-1

8x - 12x = -1 - 11

-4x = -12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3 given that ST = 8x + 11 and TU = 12x-1
