Answer: X=13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply Both sides by 12

8x-10=5x+3

2. Collect the like terms, calculate the sum

8x-5x=3+10

3.Divide both sides by 3

3x=13

Answer X=13/3

Alternative Form,

X= 4 1/3, X=4.3

The triangles are similar

hoa [83]

Answer:

Part 1) $x=16\ units$

Part 2) $x=23\ units$

Part 3) $AE=20\ units$

Part 4) $x= 6.25\ units$

Part 5) $x=26.67\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{12}{3}=\frac{x}{4}\\\\3x=12*4\\ \\x=48/3\\ \\x=16\ units$

Part 2) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{36}{12}=\frac{39}{(x-10)}\\\\3(x-10)=39\\ \\x=(39/3)+10\\ \\x=23\ units$

Part 3) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{AE}{ED}$

substitute the values

$\frac{10}{4}=\frac{2x+10}{x+3}$

$2.5(x+3)=2x+10$

$2.5x+7.5=2x+10$

$2.5x-2x=10-7.5$

$0.5x=2.5$

$x=5\ units$

$AE=2x+10=2*5+10=20\ units$

Part 4) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{5}{x}\\ \\4x=5*5\\ \\ x=25/4\\ \\ x= 6.25\ units$

Part 5) we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

In this problem

$\frac{30}{x}=\frac{45}{40}\\ \\45x=30*40\\ \\x=1,200/45\\ \\ x=26.67\ in$

adell [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length AD y.

$\dfrac{x+2}{y}=\dfrac{8x-14}{2y} \\\\\\2(x+2)=8x-14 \\\\\\2x+4=8x-14 \\\\\\4=6x-14 \\\\\\6x=18 \\\\\\x=3 \\\\\\DE=x+2=3+2=5$

Hope this helps!

Complete the statements. f(4) is<br> f(x) = 4 when x is<br>

ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 4

The required value of x is from the domain.

The given value of 4 is from the range.

From the diagram

8 → 4

Thus f(x) = 4 when x = 8
