In this equation we can see that there is only one unknown factor and that is x. So one equation is enough. If there were two unknown factors, then two equations would have been required to find them. Now coming back to the equation
6/16 = 9/x
6 * x = 9 * 16
6x = 144
x = 144/6
= 24
This is the only way to simplify the equation and get the desired result and that is finding the value of x.

Which statements must be true about the image of ΔMNP after a reflection across Line E G? Select three options. The image will b

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The image will be congruent to ΔMNP.

Line EG will be perpendicular to the line segments connecting the corresponding vertices.

The line segments connecting corresponding vertices will all be parallel to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reflected image will be the mirror image of ΔMNP, so it will be congruent. The lines connecting each vertex to the corresponding vertex will be parallel, and all three lines are perpendicular to EG.

Basically looking for the x value of intersection of the two equations. Setting them equal,
2^x + 12 = 15x + 35, which you will get x = 7. Graph it out to get a visual solution.
