Answer:

x = 3√7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the right triangle given in the picture,

Altitude or height of the triangle (AD) = x

Base or hypotenuse of the given triangle (BC) = 16

Length of segment BD = 16 - 7 = 9

By using geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,

\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{DC}{AD}

(AD)² = (BD)(CD)

x² = 9×7

x = √63

x = 3√7

7(4x - 2) - 4(2x - 8)
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

20x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the distributive property, where we essentially take the sum of the product of the outside number with each of the inside terms.

In 7(4x - 2), 7 is the outside number and 4x and -2 are the inside numbers, so:

7(4x - 2) = 7 * 4x + 7 * (-2) = 28x - 14

In 4(2x - 8), 4 is the outside number and 2x and -8 are the inside numbers, so:

4(2x - 8) = 4 * 2x + 4 * (-8) = 8x - 32

Now, we have:

28x - 14 - (8x - 32) = 28x - 14 - 8x + 32 = 20x + 18

The answer is 20x + 18.
