Answer:

B. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the value of x

The side lengths of two similar triangles are always proportional.

Given that ∆ABC ~ ∆LMN, therefore:

$\frac{AB}{LM} = \frac{AC}{LN}$

AB = 5

LM = 10

AC = x + 5

LN = 3x + 3

Plug in the values

$\frac{5}{10} = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 3}$

Cross multiply

$5(3x + 3) = 10(x + 5)$

$15x + 15 = 10x + 50$ (distributive property)

Collect like terms

$15x - 10x = -15 + 50$

$5x = 35$

Divide both sides by 5

x = 7

✔️Find AC

AC = x + 5

Plug in the value of x

AC = 7 + 5

AC = 12

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 180° in a triangle, so using the ratios and the 180° setup an equation. Solve for x.

5x + 9x + 10x = 180

24x = 180

24x/24 = 180/24

x = 7.5

To find the largest angle measure, use 10x since 10 is bigger than 5 and 9.

10x

10(7.5)

75°

Partial fraction decomposition<br> 20x+9/25x^2+20x+4

ozzi

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

$\frac{20x + 9}{25 {x}^{2} + 20x + 4 }$

Let's factor the denomiator first,

the denomaitor is a perfect square so we get

$\frac{20x + 9}{(5x + 2) {}^{2} }$

Now, we must think of two fractions that

$\frac{a}{(5x + 2) {}^{2} } + \frac{b}{5x + 2}$

We use a perfect square term for one fraction, then a linear one for the next, because if we set both of the denomiator to the same factor, we would get a inconsistent system.

So right now, we have

$\frac{a}{(5x + 2) { }^{2} } + \frac{b}{5x + 2} = \frac{20x +9 }{25 {x}^{2} + 20x + 4 }$

$a + (5x + 2)b = 20x + 9$

$5b (x)= 20$

$a + 2b = 9$

$b = 4$

so that means that a is

$a + (2)(4) = 9$

$a + 8 = 9$

$a = 1$

So our equation is

$\frac{1}{(5x + 2) {}^{2} } + \frac{4}{5x + 2}$
