Answer:
a. x = 7
b. x = 36/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Points to remember</u>
The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.
<u>a). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE
We can write,
AB/AD = AC/AE
3/6 = x/(x + 7)
3(x + 7) = 6 * x
3x + 21 = 6x
6x - 3x = 21
3x = 21
x = 21/3 = 7
<u>b). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure b we get
ΔABC ~ ΔEDF
AB/DE = BC/DF
4/5 = x/9
x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5
Answer:
X=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the unknown variable: X, we need to see how mich 4x equals to. to do this, we must first subtract 3 from both sides of the equation. The left side will be left with -12, and the right side will be left with 4x. This means:
-12=4x So...
x=-3
To check if this is right, you can subsitute this back into the equation.
4 times -3= -12. -12=3=-9
73/1000 or .073

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Choose 0 to substitute in for x to find the ordered pair. Remove parentheses. Simplify 3(0)−10 3 ( 0 ) - 10 .
