Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+10)=60
distribute 2 by multiplying numbers in parenthesis
2x+20=60
subtract 20 from both sides
2x=40
divide both sides by 2
----------
x=20

Answer: 8
The radical sign applied to a real number gives the principal square root, which is the positive square root in the case of a positive number.
We know that
scale factor=measure larger triangle/measure smaller triangle---->18/12
scale factor=1.5
so
measure larger triangle=scale factor*measure smaller triangle
for the leg in the smaller triangle equal to 5
measure larger triangle=1.5*5-----> 7.5
the answer is
7.5
The answer is going to be x=7
We have measures of all tree sides of the both triangles,
so we can use SSS to check if the triangles are similar.
|ED|/|AB| =5/10=1/2
|DC|/|BC| = 4/8 = 1/2
|EC|/|AC| = 6/12 = 1/2
We see that all tree pairs are in proportion, so these triangles ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar.
We have enough information to prove that ΔABC similar to ΔEDC.
