Answer:

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9 ← expand the left side using FOIL

x² - 8x - 48 = 9 ( ad 48 to both sides )

x² - 8x = 57

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 57 + 16

(x - 4)² = 73 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{73} ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}

What is the value of x?
nalin [4]

Answer:

  x = 42.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles MAB and MNP are proportional. This means ...

  x/MP = MA/MN

However, we don't have a number for MA yet, so we need to find it.

  MA +AN = MN

  MA = MN - AN            subtract AN

  MA = 67.2 m - 32 m = 35.2 m

Now, we can use this to find x.

  x = MP · (MA/MN) = (81.9 m) · 35.2/67.2

  x = 42.9 m

What is the value of z? ( please help)
maxonik [38]

Answer:

z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram of the triangle attached to this question.

We know the property of angles of a triangle as if we sum any two interior angles then we will get the opposite exterior angle.

Hence,  

42z + 37 = 40z + (26z + 13)

⇒ 42z + 37 = 66z + 13

⇒ 37 - 13 = 66z - 42z

⇒ 24 = 24z

⇒ z = 1 (Answer)
