Mathematics
1 answer:
elixir [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ESR and Δ EGF are similar, then ratios of corresponding sides are equal, so

\frac{ES}{EG} = \frac{ER}{EF} , substitute values

\frac{45}{12x-3} = \frac{55}{143} ( cross- multiply )

55(12x - 3) = 6435 ( divide both sides by 55 )

12x - 3 = 117 ( add 3 to both sides )

12x = 120 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 10

BRIA is a rectangle. AN=5. NR=x-3. please solve for x, NR, and BI
Lena [83]

Answer:

x=8

NR=5 units

BI=10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In  a rectangle BRIA

AN=5 units

NR=x-3

We have to solve for x , NR and BI.

We know that

Diagonals of rectangle bisect to each other.

BI and AR are the diagonals of rectangle BRIA and intersect at point N.

AN=NR

5=x-3

x=5+3=8

x=8

Substitute the value of x

NR=8-3=5

By property of rectangle

BI=AR=AN+NR=5+5=10 unit

BI=10 units

an actor gains 20pounds for a part and then losses 15 pounds during the filming of the movie to go along with the story.who do y
guajiro [1.7K]
Let the actor's initial weight be 'x'

He is then gaining 20 pounds. The clue is in the word 'gaining' as it means 'increasing' or in Mathematics can be related as 'plus'

The expression is: x+20

He then loses 15 pounds. The clue is in the word 'losses' as it means 15 pounds is to be subtracted from the last value

Last value is x + 20
The weight now is x + 20 - 15 = x + 5
