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

well, is noteworthy that an x-intercept is when y = 0 or namely is a solution or root of the quadratic, so we know then that the x-intercepts or solutions are at (-1,0) and (3,0), that simply means that

\bf (\stackrel{x}{-1},\stackrel{y}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x}{3},\stackrel{y}{0})\qquad \begin{cases} x = -1\\ x+1=0\\ \cline{1-1} x=3\\ x-3=0 \end{cases}~\hfill \implies ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{equation of the parabola}}{y = a(x+1)(x-3)} \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} x = 1\\ y = -8 \end{cases}\implies \underline{-8}=a(\underline{1}+1)(\underline{1}-3)

\bf -8=a(2)(-2)\implies -8=-4a\implies \cfrac{-8}{-4}=a\implies \boxed{2=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ y=2(x+1)(x-3)\implies y=2(\stackrel{\mathbb{FOIL}}{x^2-2x-3})\implies y=2x^2-4x-6

Solve for v.<br> 19v – 18 = 16 + 17v
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

v= 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the given equation.

19v – 18 = 16 + 17v

Move -18 to the other side, and swap it's sign.

19v = 16 + 18 + 17v

Move 17v to the other side and swap it's sign.

19v - 17v = 16 + 18

Combine like terms.

2v = 34

Divide by 2v.

v = 17
