What is the value of x? 3x + (6x - 6) = 4(2x-2)

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, let's add on the first side to get 3x + 6x - 6 = 9x - 6. For the second side, we need to distribute the 4 to get 4(2x) + 4(-2), or 8x + (-8) or 8x - 8. Setting these equal, we subtract 8x from both sides to get x - 6 = -8, and adding 6 to both sides gives x = -2.

Answer:

The cost of labor per hour is $105.

The expression is 4x + 77 = 497

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is 4x + 77 = 497, where 4x represents the cost of labor per hour, 77 is the cost of the parts, and 497 is the total.

4x + 77 = 497

4x + 77 - 77 = 497 -77

4x = 420

4x/4=420/4

x = 105

Answer:

  a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS

  b) x = 28 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2

The right side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2

These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.

Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:

  12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x

__

The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:

  x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12

  x = 28 1/3

What is the arc measure of BDC in degrees?<br> (4k + 159)<br> P<br> (2k + 153)
andre [41]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The diagram is missing but I'll assume that the arc BDC is:

(4k + 159)^{\circ}

And another arc, let's call it FGH. measures:

(2k + 153)^{\circ}

If those arc are equal, then this equation is true:

(4k + 159)^{\circ}=(2k + 153)^{\circ} \\ \\ (4k + 159)=(2k + 153) \\ \\ \\ Solving \ for \ k: \\ \\ 4k-2k=153-159 \\ \\ 2k=-6 \\ \\ k=-\frac{6}{2} \\ \\ k=-3

Substituting k into the first equation:

\angle BDC=(4(-3)+159)^{\circ} \\ \\ \angle BDC=(-12+159)^{\circ} \\ \\ \boxed{\angle BDC=147^{\circ}}
