If BD = 4, AD = x-6, and CD = x, what is the length of CD?

Mathematics
1 answer:
emmainna [20.7K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The length of CD is 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question in the attached figure</em></u>

we know that

According to the Right Triangle Altitude Theorem,

(BD)^2 = (AD)(CD)

substitute the given values

(4)^2 = (x-6)(x)

16=x^2-6x\\x^2-6x-16=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=8 or x=-6

see the attached figure N 2

Discard the negative length.

therefore

The length of CD is 8 units

If: \qquad AC = 64 AB = 7x + 8, and BC= 3x+6, Find BC
Nady [450]

The answer is 21.

First you Add both AB and BC which is 10x +14. Then you put 64 into the equation. 10x+14=64. Subtract 14 from 64 which is 50. So 10x=50. Then divide 10 from 50. which would be x=5. So if you plug it in. It would be 21.

Whats the first operation needed to solve x/3-3=11
velikii [3]

Hello!

To solve algebraic equation, we will need to use the acronym SADMEP.

SADMEP is similar to PEMDAS, but it is strictly used for solving algebraic equations. Expanded, it is subtract, addition, division, multiplication, exponents, and then parentheses.

Looking at SADMEP, we see that subtract/addition comes first, then division/multiplication, and then exponents/parentheses.

In our equation, our goal is to isolate the variable, "x". Since we have two constants, -3 and 11, and -3 is on the side with the variable, we can add -3 to both sides of the equation first.

Therefore, the first operation needed to solve the equation is addition.

Desmond plays 30 minutes of soccer each day. How many seconds of soccer does Desmond play in 6 days?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:Desmond will play for 10800 seconds  in 6 days

In a Day Desmond plays soccer = 30 minutes

In 6 days, he will play = 6 x 30 = 180 minutes

Changing 180 minutes to seconds

we know that 60 second s= 1 minutes

  Therefore   ??  seconds = 180 minutes

180 x 60 =10800 seconds

-8=-(x+4) I need help with this I can't figure it out​
zloy xaker [14]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

x = 4

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

We're solving the equation: -8=-(x+4)

Solve:

-8=-(x+4)

Distribute the negative to the variables in the parenthesis.

-8 = -x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

-4 = -x

Divide by -1

4 = x (same as x = 4)
