How do you solve for x in the equation 4x-2(x-2)=-9+5x-8

1 answer:

5 0

first distribute the 2 into (x-2) so that the new equation is 4x-2x+4=9+5x-8 Afterwards add up common factors and get the x to one side 2x+4=1+5x (subtract 2x from both sides) 4=1+3x (subtract 1 from both sides) 3=3x (divide by 3 on both sides) 1=x

Hope this helped!!

Answer:

$a=22.5\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

In this problem

If polygon RSUPE is similar to polygon KQUIC

then

$\frac{RS}{KQ}=\frac{RE}{KC}$

substitutes the values and solve for a

$\frac{a+2}{14}=\frac{17.5}{10}\\ \\10a+20=14*17.5\\ \\10a=245-20\\ \\a=225/10\\ \\a=22.5\ units$
