Answer:

x=13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are similar their corresponding sides will be similar

flipping the triangle to match each other you'll see 16 and x correspond.

So you set an equation of the corresponding sides equaling each other since they are similar

(16/6)=(x/5) cross multiply

6x=80 Find x

(6x)/6=80/6

x=13.3

What is the distance between (-2 1/2, -3) and (1, -3)

Igoryamba

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2 1/2, -3) = (-5/2 , -3) & (1, -3)

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\\\ =\sqrt{(1-[\frac{-5}{2}])^{2}+(-3-[-3])^{2}}\\\\ =\sqrt{(1+\frac{5}{2})^{2}+(-3+3)^{2}}\\\\ =\sqrt{(\frac{7}{2})^{2}} \\\\=\frac{7}{2}\\\\=3\frac{1}{2}$

PLEASE HELP!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry solved this equation:

$3(x-\frac{1}{4})=\frac{13}{6}$

In the first step , she multiplied 3 inside the parenthesis

1. $3x-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{6}$

In step 2, 3/4 is added on both sides

2. $3x-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{6}+\frac{3}{4}$

In step 3, we take LCD 12

3. $3x=\frac{26}{12}+\frac{9}{12}$

In step 4, add the fractions

4. $3x=\frac{35}{12}$

Here, 3 or 3/1 are same.

$\frac{3}{1}x=\frac{35}{12}$

In step 5, to remove 3/1 we multiply both sides by 1/3.

Instead of multiplying 1/3 , Jerry made an error by multiplying 3/1

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{1}x=\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{35}{12}$

$x=\frac{35}{36}$

In step 5, he should have multiplied both sides by 1/3
