Solve 3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we just have to the multiplication and do the simplification (adding up the similar terms) afterwards:

3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3 becomes...

3x + 3 = 7x - 14 - 3

3x + 3 = 7x -17

Then we move all x's on one side and all plain numbers on the other side, we'll move the x's to the right since there's a bigger value there, and will move the plain numbers on the left side, by subtracting 3x and by adding 17 on both sides

3x + 3 - 3x + 17 = 7x -17 + 17 - 3x

20 = 4x

If we isolate x alone we have:

20/4 = x or x = 5

Answer:

<h2>x = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(1)=(7)(x)+(7)(-2)-3\\\\3x+3=7x-14-3\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\3x+3=7x+(-14-3)\\\\3x+3=7x-17\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\3x+3-3=7x-17-3\\\\3x=7x-20\qquad\text{subtract 7x from both sides}\\\\3x-7x=7x-7x-20\\\\-4x=-20\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-20}{-4}\\\\x=5

Answer:

Radius = incenter → peprpendicular to one side of the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Bisect one of the angles
  2. Bisect another angle
  3. Where those two lines cross is the center of the inscribed circle, called the incenter
  4. Construct a perpendicular from the center point to one side of the triangle
  5. Place compass on the center point, adjust its length to where the perpendicular crosses the triangle, and draw your inscribed circle!

list the pair of congruent angles and the extended proportion that relations the corresponding sides for the similar polygons KL
kherson [118]

Answer:  

In Polygons KLMNP and HGFDC,

Angles K, L, M, N and P are corresponding to H, G, F, D and C,

And, Sides KL, LM, MN, NP and PK are corresponding to sides HG, GF, FD, DC and CH

If the two figures are similar then their corresponding sides and angles are congruent.

Therefore, If  Polygon KLMNP is similar to HGFDC,

Then, ∠ K ≅ ∠ H,  ∠ L ≅ ∠ G,  ∠ M ≅ ∠ F,  ∠ N ≅ ∠ D,   ∠ P ≅ ∠ C

And, KL ≅ HG,  LM ≅ GF,  MN≅FD,  NP≅DC,  PK≅CH
