Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2-8p-9

factor out the trinomial

(p-9)(p+1)

Therefore, she's incorrect. Because (p-1)(p+9)=p^2-p+9p-9=p^2+8p-9 and that's different from p^2-8p-9.

Solve for x. Triangles below are similar. <br><br> a) 13<br> b) 10<br> c) 4<br> d) 3

Reptile [31]

Answer:

the answer is 4 (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, and in triangle UTV both sides are equal, we can consider QTR also has two equal sides.

therefore, the equation forms:

13x + 3 = 55

13x = 55 - 3

13x = 52

x = 52/13

x = 4
