What is the value of x in the following proportion? 7/x-5 = 15/x+4

1 answer:

5 0

For this question you should first add -15/x on both sides of the equation and then add +5 on both sides:
7/x - 15/x = 5 + 4
-8/x = 9
so now you can multiply both sides by x:
-8 = 9x
now you should divide both sides by 9:
-8/9 = x :)))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

Use the figure to find the measures of the numbered angles. Explin your reasoning.

Reika [66]

1)81° due to the fact that 99° and (1) are supplementary angles
2)99° due to the fact that (5) and (2) are adjacent angles that sum up to equal 180°
3)81° due to the fact that it is the corresponding angle to (5)
4)99° due to the fact that (4) and (2) are alternate interior angles which equal the same
5)81° due to the fact that (5) and (6) are adjacent angles which means they are supplementary angles that add to equal 180°
6)99° due to the fact that (6) and (2) are corresponding angles which equal the same value
7)81° due to the fact that (7) and (3) are corresponding angles with equal the same degree
