Algebra: Find x ....
1 answer:
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
=
( cross- multiply )
5(2x + 1) = 8(x + 4) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )
10x + 5 = 8x + 32 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
2x + 5 = 32 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
2x = 27 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 13.5 → d

The set is the set of all values of
that are solutions to the given equation. So all you need to do is check whether
and
satisfy the equation.
The equation holds, so both 1 and 2 are solutions, and hence is a subset of the solutions.
