By Pythagoras theorem

RQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}
RS^{2}= x^{2} + 9^{2}

SQ^{2}= RS^{2}  + RQ^{2}
SQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}  + x^{2} + 9^{2}
SQ^{2}=2 x^{2} +256+81
25^{2}=2 x^{2} +337
625-337=2 x^{2}
288=2 x^{2}
144= x^{2}
x=12

Answer:  The value of x is 12 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x from the figure.

We can see that triangle RSQ is a right-angled one with m∠SRQ = 90°. And RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse SQ.

Given ST = 9 units, TQ = 16 units  and  RT = x = ?

Since ΔRSQ is a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse SQ and RT is perpendicular to SQ, so we must have

RT^2=ST\times TQ\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=9\times 16\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=144\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{144}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm12.

Since the length of a line segment cannot be negative, so the value of of x is 12 units.

Thus, the required value of x is 12 units.

Fraction : 3/11+7/15= <br> Please show me how you got the answer
avanturin [10]
So the first thing you would have to is to find a common denominator so a common denominator between 11 and 15 is 165. 3/11 * 15 =45/165  next you would do 7/15 * 11=77/165 no that both denominators are the same we add the numerator but the denominator stays the same so 45/165 + 77/165 = 122/165
and since it can't be reduced any more 122/165 is your answer. 

hope this helps :)

Solve the equation. x + 2.6 = 3.5<br>    x = –0.9 <br>   x = –6.1 <br>   x = 6.1<br>    x = 0
denpristay [2]

x + 2.6 = 3.5\\ \\ x=3.5-2.6\\ \\ x=0.9

There may be an error with the first answer choice because it can't have a negative. The problem is x + 2.6 = 3.5 correct?

Hope this helps!

Express x in terms of a and b: b−7x=a−b
pav-90 [236]
B - 7x = a - b
Subtract b from both sides.

-7x = a - 2b
Divide both sides by -7.

x = \frac{-a + 2b}{7}
