Given that the two triangles are similar:
$\frac{7}{28}$ = $\frac{25}{6x + 28}$
$\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{25}{6x + 28}$
6x + 28 = 4 x 25
6x + 28 = 100
6x = 100 - 28
6x = 72
x = 12

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming Angle A, B and C are angles in a triangle.

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180º

(2x - 20) + (120) + (x + 5) = 180

2x - 20 + 120 + x + 5 = 180

3x + 105 = 180

3x = 75

x = 25

Answer:

line r: y=-2x-2

line s: -2x+1

lime t: -2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

every slope must be -2 since that's stated in the question

to find b in y=mx+b, you substitute 0 for x and the y coordinate when x is 0 into the equation (for example for slope r, when x is 0 then y is -2, so -2=-2(0)+b) then solve for b (-2=-2(0)+b is -2=b)

basically, b is the y component when x is 0

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 57. What is the largest of these numbers?

lord [1]

X+x+1+x+2=57
3x+3=57
3x=54
x= 54/3
x= 18

x+1= 19
x+2= 20

Therefore 20 is the largest
