A) By the rules of secants,
5(x +5) = 6(6 +4)
x + 5 = 12
x = 7

b) 3(3 +5) = 4(x +4)
6 = x +4
2 = x

Answer:

a) x = 7

b) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x + 5 ) = 6 ( 6 +4 )

⇒ Expand brackets

5 x + 25 = 36 + 24

⇒ Simplify

5 x + 25 = 60

⇒ Minus 25 from both sides to isolate 5 x

5 x = 35

x = 7

3 ( 3 + 5 ) = 4 ( x + 4 )

⇒ Expand brackets

9 + 15 = 4 x + 16

⇒ Simplify

24 = 4 x + 16

⇒ Minus 16 from both sides to isolate 4 x

8 = 4 x

⇒ Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

2 = x

7. The points P(2, -3), Q(3, -2) and R(8, z) are

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are collinear then the slopes between the points are equal.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P (2, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q (3, - 2)

m = $\frac{-2+3}{3-2}$ = 1

Repeat with

(x₁, y₁ ) = Q (3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = R (8, z )

m = $\frac{z+2}{8-3}$ = $\frac{z+2}{5}$ , then

$\frac{z+2}{5}$ = 1 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

z + 2 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

z = 3

A, B and C are corners of a parallelogram

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in a parallelogram diagonals bisect each other.

so mid points are same.

Let coordinates of D be (x,y)

mid point of AC=midpoint Of BD

(-2+5)/2=(x+3)/2

x+3=-3

x=-3-3=-6

x=-6

(3-3)/2=(2+y)/2

y+2=0

y=-2

so D is (-6,-2)
