State if the polygons are similar

Mashutka [201]

Polygons are similar? Well there is no picture provided, so I have no idea what you're talking about. But I think you might be asking if in general all polygons are similar, and if that's the case, they are not. Similar means they are similar in at least one aspect, and all polygons are different from each other, only adding one line for each bigger polygon. So I don't know if this helped you, but I tried anyways.

Solve |5x+30|=10x ......

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve out ,

$\implies |5x + 30| = 10x$

We can write it as ,

$\implies 5x + 30 = \pm 10x$

On simplyfing further,

$\implies 5x + 30 = 10x \quad or \quad 5x +30=-10x$

On solving the above equation , we will get ,

$\implies \boxed{ x = 6,-2}$

Now we know that the value of modulus is never negative so when we will put x is equal to 2 on the RHS we will get -20 which is not possible . Therefore , the extraneous root is -2 .

Option A is correct .
