Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ AED and Δ ACB are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
11x = 8(6 + x) ← distribute
11x = 48 + 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )
3x = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 16
We want to see if the given function represents a linear function.
We will see that yes, it does.
So we have the function:
y = f(x) = 30 + 5*x
And a general linear function is written as:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Comparing these two, we can see that both have the same general shape, thus, our function is also a linear function.
A graph of our function also can be seen below, where it is evident that it is a line.
