It can actually be done many ways. You must match up the corresponding sides.

For example, 24/20 and x/7 would work so would, 24/x and 20/7, and 7/20 and x/24. Most proportions are set up the same way. You just have to make sure to go in the same order for the two triangles. Sorry if it's confusing.

So let's use-20/7 and 24/x.

First, we multiply 7*24 and 20*x and we get 20x=168

Then we divide to get 168/20. X=8.4

A city planner is rerouting traffic in order to work on a stretch of road. The equation of the path of the old route can be desc
earnstyle [38]

Answer: D

Explanation:

The equation of a line in the point slope form is expressed as

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where

m represents slope

x1 and y1 represents coordinates of the point that the line passes.

From the information given, the equation of the path of the old route is

y = 2x/5 - 4

Recall, the equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

By comparing both equations,

slope, m = 2/5

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Given that the new route is to be parallel to the old route and will go through point (Q, P), then

m = 2/5

x1 = Q

y1 = P

The equation of the new route be

y - P = 2/5(x - Q)

If measure of angle T= (2x + 85), measure of angle V= (5x + 29), and
netineya [11]

Answers:

Angle T = 79 degrees

Angle V = 14 degrees

=========================================================

Work Shown:

T + V = 93

(2x+85) + (5x+29) = 93

7x+114 = 93

7x = 93-114

7x = -21

x = -21/7

x = -3

This x value is used to find each angle mentioned.

  • Angle T = 2x+85 = 2(-3)+85 = -6+85 = 79 degrees
  • Angle V = 5x+29 = 5(-3)+29 = -15+29 = 14 degrees

As a check, T+V = 79+14 = 93 which confirms our answers.
