Steps to solve:
5(x + 1) = 20
~Distributive property
5x + 5 = 20
~Subtract 5 to both sides
5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5
~Simplify
5x = 15
~Divide 5 to both sides
5x/5 = 15/5
~Simplify
x = 3
Best of Luck!
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are similar triangles, their sides are proportional
12 : 15 :: 8 : x - 4
Product of extremes = Product of means
12 × ( x- 4 ) = 15 × 8
12x -48 = 120
12x = 120 + 48
12x = 168
x = 168/12
x = 14
4-3=1
1+8=9
The answer is 9
In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17
The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123
