The answer is 5 divided by 1/3
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding segments of similar triangles are proportional. Here, the similar triangles are ...
ΔABC ~ ΔADE
so the relationship between the sides is ...
BC/BA = DE/DA . . . . . . we put the unknown value in the numerator
x/4 = 12/(4+8)
x = 4(1) = 4
The length of side x is 4.
Answer:
Reason given in step 2. is incorrect. It should read; "Distributive Property."
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason given to go from :
2 (3x +4) = 56 to 6x + 8 = 56
is NOT "Multiplication Property of Equality" because one is not multiplying both sides of the equality by a number. The property that is being used is the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation in order to remove the grouping symbols (parenthesis) performing the implied multiplication of the external factor times each term of the binomial in parenthesis.
