3x+17+5x=7x+10
Simplify:
3x+5x+17=7x+10
8x+17=7x+10
Get the variables on one side:
8x-7x+17=7x-7x+10
x+17=10
One-step equation:
x=-7

1. $m\angle BAC=m\angle CAD,\ m\angle ACB=m\angle ADC=90^{\circ}$ , then $m\angle ABC=m\angle ACD$ and triangles ADC and ACB are similar by AAA theorem.

2. The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is constant, so

$\dfrac{AC}{AB}= \dfrac{AD}{AC}$ .

3. Knowing lengths you could state that $\dfrac{b}{c}= \dfrac{e}{b}$ .

4. This ratio is equivalent to $b^2=ce$ .

5. $m\angle ABC=m\angle CBD,\ m\angle ACB=m\angle CDB=90^{\circ}$ , then $m\angle BAC=m\angle BCD$ and triangles BDC and BCA are similar by AAA theorem.

6. The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is constant, so

$\dfrac{BC}{BD}= \dfrac{AB}{BC}$ .

7. Knowing lengths you could state that $\dfrac{a}{d}= \dfrac{c}{a}$ .

8. This ratio is equivalent to $a^2=cd$ .

9. Now add results of parts 4 and 8:

$b^2+a^2=ce+cd$ .

10. c is common factor, then:

$b^2+a^2=c(e+d)$ .

11. Since $e+d=c$ you have $a^2+b^2=c\cdot c=c^2$ .

B. 40 is 160% of what number?

Anton [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the question basically translates to

160% x n =40

a little trick with percents I use is that the word "of" always means multiplication.

n=40/160%=25

If triangle ABC defined by the coordinates A(1,1), B(9,1), C(1,9) is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The transformed points of the triangle ABC are $A' (x,y) = \left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$ , $B'(x,y) = \left(\frac{9}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right)$ , $C'(x,y) = \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{9}{2}\right)$
