Question

Gina wilson unit 6 homework 4 help with 6,8,and9

Answer 1

Answer:

• Q6. x = 17
• Q8. Yes, parallel
• Q9. No, not parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Q6. Solve for x

Use ratios of similar sides

• 28/(82 - 28) = (2x + 8)/(5x - 4)
• 28/54 = (2x + 8)/(5x - 4)
• 14/27 = (2x + 8)/(5x - 4)
• 14(5x - 4) = 27(2x + 8)
• 70x - 56 = 54x + 216
• 70x - 54x = 56 + 216
• 16x = 272
• x = 272/16
• x = 17

Q8

If ratios are same, the lines are parallel

• 41.8/33 = (102 - 45)/45
• 41.8/33 = 57/45
• 41.8*45 = 33*57
• 1881 = 1881

Yes, lines are parallel

Q9

• 38/19 = 52/24
• 2 = 2 1/3

Incorrect, lines are not parallel
