The largest triangle and the triangle whose hypotenuse is x are similar. So:
(21 + 4)/x = x/4
Cross multiply:
x^2 = 100
x = 10
Your answer is incorrect. It should be 10, not 20.
First you start out with your equation:
-4x = -36
Using reverse operations, divide both sides by -4. Since you're dividing a negative by a negative, you get a positive answer.
x = 9
B I think sorry if I’m wrong on mine it say that’s right
Let the number be x,
(1/2)x=1+(1/3)x
Solving for x,
(1/2)x-(1/3)x=1+(1/3)x-(1/3)x
(1/2)x-(1/3)x=1
(1*3/6)x-(1*2/6)x=1
(3/6)x-(2/6)x=1
(1/6)x=1
6*(1/6)x=6*1
Therefore, x=6
-1 - -1.
-1 + 1.
0.
The answer is 0.
