Answer:
x = 1/5(k-14)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 14 = k
Subtract 14 from each side
5x+14-14 = k-14
5x = k-14
Divide by 5
5x/5 = 1/5(k-14)
x = 1/5(k-14)

Answer:
D. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment lengths are equal, so ...
x^2 = 90-x
x^2 +x -90 = 0 . . . . . . add x-90 to put in standard form
(x +10)(x -9) = 0 . . . . . factor
The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero: -10, 9.
The positive value of x is 9.
