a trapezoid has base lengths of (6x-1) units and 3 units. Its midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units. What is the value of x?
1 answer:
1. You have that:
- The<span> lengths of the bases are (6x-1) units and 3 units.
- The midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units.
2. To solve this exercise, you must apply the formula for calculate the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid, which is shown below:
Midsegment=Base1+Base2/2
As you can see, the midsegment is half the sum of the bases of the trapezoid.
3. When you substitute the values, you obtain:
(5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2
4. Now, you can solve the problem by clearing the "x":
</span>
(5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2
2(5x-3)=6x-1+3
10x-6=6x+2
10x-6x=2+6
4x=8
x=8/4
x=2

Assuming that there is a typo in the problem and they meant 8 times more than Anne.
5 3/8 * 8 = 40 24/8 = 43 pounds.
Answer:
C. -24
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+6)= -18
Subtract 6 from each side
x+6-6 = -18-6
x = -24
They’re similar bc all sides have the same scale factor
