Answer:
<em>C. 15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that these segments formed from each parallel line are proportional, x/5 = x-6/3.
Now cross multiply by multiplying each denominator by the opposite numerator, this is so the denominators or bottom numbers of each fraction will cancel.
x/5 = x–6/3 → (3)(x/5) = (3)(x–6/3) → 3x/5 = x–6 →
(5)(3x/5) = (5)(x–6) → 3x = 5(x–6) → 3x = 5x – 30.
The last step is to do the basic algebra to find x:
3x = 5x – 30
–5x –5x
[5x will cancel when you subtract both sides by 5x]
-2x = -30
(-1) (-1)
[2 negatives make a positive when -1 is multiplied by an expression with a negative coefficient]
2x = 30
÷2 ÷2
[divide both sides by 2 to simplify 2x to x]
x = 15
_____
You can also check that both sides are proportional because
5 → x
x = 15
5 → 15
3 → x – 6
x = 15
3 → 9
5 × <u>3</u> = 15
3 × <u>3</u> = 9

Answer:
(5,2,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+4y+2z = -3
2x-4y-z=0
y = 3x-13
Multiply the second equation by 2
2*(2x-4y-z)=0*2
4x -8y -2z =0
Add this to the first equation to eliminate z
-3x+4y+2z = -3
4x -8y -2z =0
-------------------------
x -4y = -3
Take the third equation and substitute it in for y
x - 4(3x-13) = -3
Distribute the 4
x - 12x +52 = -3
Combine like terms
-11x +52 = -3
Subtract 52 from each side
-11x +52-52 = -3-52
-11x = -55
Divide by -11
-11x/-11 = -55/-11
x=5
Now we can solve for y
y =3x-13
y =3*5 -13
y = 15-13
y=2
Now we need to find z
2x-4y-z=0
2(5) -4(2) -z=0
10-8 -z=0
2-z=0
Add z to each side
2-z+z= 0+z
2=z
x=5, y=2, z=2
