What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABP and triangle CDR are similar.  Thus, we can solve this problem for x using an equation of proportions:

hypotenuse     leg length

    15+42               10+x

----------------     =   ----------

       42                     x

Then (15+42)x  =  42(10+x) after cross multiplication

      57x            =  420 + 42x

Subtracting 42x from both sides, we get

      15x             =    420.

Dividing both sides by 15 results in

        x               =   28

A card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the theoretical probability as a decimal of drawing the number 8? Roun
Alborosie

The answer would be 0.15 because in a deck there are only 4 cards of 8 (diamonds, hearts, clovers, and spades). Since there are 52 cards, you would divide 8 by 52 to get 0.153846, but since it says to round to the nearest hundredths, the answer would be 0.15.

B
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2

25+144 = c^2

169 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(169) = sqrt(c^2)

13 =c

Solve by substitution x-y=12 x+y=18
slamgirl [31]
X = y + 12. You then substitute or plug in that from the first equation into the second equation. You get (y+12)+y=18, then you simplify to get your y value. In this case y = 3. The you can plug your y value into either equation. (x+3=18) or (x-3=12) or (x=3+12) either way you get x=15 and y=3.

Please answer this question correctly for 25 points and brainliest!!
lesya692 [45]

Step-by-step answer:

Given an enlargement from preimage (ABC) to image (A'B'C').

Need to find scale factor.

Solution:

Scale factor = linear size of image / linear size of preimage.

From the accompanying diagram, we see that

L(preimage) = AC = 4 units

L(image) = A'C' = 12 units

Therefore

Scale factor = L(image) / L(preimage) = 12 / 4 = 3
