Answer:

since PQ ||BC,

Angle A is common for both triangles angle P = angle B

triangles ABC, APQ are similar,then their corresponding sides are in proportion

AP/PB =AQ/QC

4/8=x/16

x=8

Do you know basic proportionality theorem ? You can solve the problem easily by this.

In short: BPT is if a line is parallel to a side of the triangle which intersects the other sides imto two distinct points, then the line divides those sides in proportion.

In your problem, it's given that the mutual lines are parallel (PQ || BC), so it makes it divide |AP| with |AB| and |AQ| with |AC| proportionally.

|AP| / |AB| = |AQ| / |QC|

4/12 = x/16+x

4(16+x) = 12x

x=8

Hope it helps!

3/4 picked apples. If 120 students picked apples, how many picked bananas
Oxana [17]

Answer:

40 students picked bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 picked apples    

1 - 3/4 = 1/4 picked bananas

3/4x = 120

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3

4/3 * (3/4x) = 120/1 * (4/3)

x = 480/3

x = 160

                                               Total of 160 students

                                               /                                   \

                                   120 = apples                  160 - 120 = 40 = bananas

40 students picked bananas

Hope this helps :)

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

3\neq -3

False

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-9\\\\x-\frac{1}{3}y=-3

You substitute y for the second equation.

x-\frac{1}{3} y=-3\\\\x-\frac{1}{3}(3x-9)=-3

Then you have to distribute -\frac{1}{3} .

x-x+3=-3

Combine like terms.

3\neq -3
