The value of x is 20.

Solution:

Sides of one triangle are 2x – 4 and 39.

Sides of another triangle are x + 6 and 24.

<u>Property of similar triangle:</u>

<em>If two triangles are similar then their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in the same ratio.</em>

$\frac{2x-4}{24} =\frac{39}{x+6}

Do cross multiplication.

(2x-4)(x+6)=39\times 24

2x^2+12x-4x-24=936

2x^2+8x-24-936=0

2x^2+8x-960=0

Divide by 2 on each of the term.

x^2+4x-480=0

Solve using quadratic equation.

(x-20)(x+24)=0

(x-20)=0, \ (x+24)=0

x = 20,  \ x = -24

Ignore the negative term, because if you substitute this you will get a negative terms only. But length of sides cannot be in negative measures.

Therefore x = 20.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

56 screws

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first we can find how many screws he needs.

So,  if he uses 2 steps for 8 screws, and has 14 steps, that means he puts screws in 7 steps ( 14÷2)

then, if he uses 8 screws, each with 8 steps, we can do 8 times 7, which is 56 screws

Four more than three times n equals -5
Verizon [17]
3n+4=-5

do the opposite of adding 4. this means you have to subtract 4 from 4. whatever you do to the problem, you must do to the answer. now subtract 4 from -5.

-5-4=-9

since 4-4=0, we can take 4 out of the equation. now you have:

3n=-9

now divide -9 by 3

-9/3=-3

n=-3

hope this helps :)
