Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 3) = 8x
12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )
4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 9
Answer:
x= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
∠LMP + ∠PMN= 180° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)
-16x +13 -20x +23= 180
bring x term to 1 side, constant to the other:
-36x= 180 -13 -23
Simplify:
-36x= 144
x= 144 ÷ (-36)
x= -4
*The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180°
The answer is z = -13.9
In order to solve this, you need to use inverse operations. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. So, this is the function we'll use
4.9 + z = -9 ----> subtract 4.9 from both sides
z = -13.9
Two right angles? that's what I would think
Answer:
x = -15 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have to use the complete the square method, we first need to <u>rewrite the equation</u> in the form
.
This results in
.
Next, we <u>simplify the equation</u> to get
.
<u>Factoring </u>the left side gives us
.
Finally we <u>solve the equations</u>:
and
.
This gives us x=1, and x=-15
