Answer:

x = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so we'll set up a proportion:

=> $\frac{2}{15} =\frac{8}{x-4}$

Cross Multiplying

=> 2(x-4) = 15 x 8

=> 2x-8 = 120

=> 2x = 120+8

=> 2x = 128

Dividing both sides by 2

=> x = 64

Find the value of "x" in x² -2 = 47 Thanks :)

Dennis_Churaev [7]

$~~~~~x^2 -2 = 47\\\\\implies x^2 = 47 +2 \\\\\implies x^2 = 49\\\\\implies x = \pm\sqrt{49}\\\\\implies x = \pm 7\\\\\text{Hence, }~ x = 7,~~ x = -7$

12. Find the slope and y-intercept of the line. y= 1/5x-8

eduard

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

What does the problem want us to find:

slope
y-intercept

Let's gather the information:

⇒ the information given: y = 1/5 x - 8

⇒ the line is in slope-intercept form

⇒ means:

⇒ coefficient in front of 'x' is the slope

⇒ constant is the y-intercept

slope is 1/5
y-intecept is -8

Answer:

Slope is 1/5
y-intercept is -8

Hope that helps!

Solve 3x - 1/2 = 8 1/2 a. x=2 2/3 b. x= 2 1/3 c. x= 8 d. x= 3

Alenkinab [10]

We will first add 1/2 to both sides to get 3x = 9
We then divide both sides by 3 to get
x =3 (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

57° + x + 23° = 180° { being linear pair }

80° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 80°

x = 100°
