Answer:

The answer is 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Since the triangles are similar, they have a common factor between the two triangles. The side four units long on the smaller triangle corresponds to the side that is eight units long on the bigger triangle by two times. So, the side that is three units long should correspond to the side of the bigger triangle by two times, which would equal six units.

Answer:

XZ = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{AB}{XY}$ = $\frac{AC}{XZ}$ , substituting

$\frac{4}{8}$ = $\frac{3}{XZ}$ ( cross- multiply )

4XZ = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

XZ = 6

What is the solution to the equation −p − 13 = −4 /3 p + 2/3 ( 5p − 6 ) ?

jekas [21]

Answer:

The answer is p= 2 and 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer can be found using the order of operations to solve for p.

Start by distributing 2/3 by (5p-6)

add -4/3p to 10/3p equaling 6/3p or 2p

subtract 13 from both sides

-p= 2p - 7

p=2 and 1/3

Find the smallest positive $n$ such that \begin{align*} n &\equiv 3 \pmod{4}, \\ n &\equiv 2 \pmod{5}, \\ n &\equiv

Alex777 [14]

4, 5, and 7 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem right away.

We construct a number $x$ such that taking it mod 4, 5, and 7 leaves the desired remainders:

$x=3\cdot5\cdot7+4\cdot2\cdot7+4\cdot5\cdot6$

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv3\cdot5\cdot7\equiv105\equiv1\pmod4$

so we multiply the first term by 3.

Taken mod 5, the first and last terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv4\cdot2\cdot7\equiv51\equiv1\pmod5$

so we multiply the second term by 2.

Taken mod 7, the first two terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv4\cdot5\cdot6\equiv120\equiv1\pmod7$

so we multiply the last term by 7.

Now,

$x=3^2\cdot5\cdot7+4\cdot2^2\cdot7+4\cdot5\cdot6^2=1147$

By the CRT, the system of congruences has a general solution

$n\equiv1147\pmod{4\cdot5\cdot7}\implies\boxed{n\equiv27\pmod{140}}$

or all integers $27+140k$ , $k\in\mathbb Z$ , the least (and positive) of which is 27.
