Answer:
(since they're similar, set them up as a proportion to find x)
14*14 = 8(x+2) (cross multiply, solve the left side, and distribute the right side)
196 = 8x +16 (subtract 16 from both sides)
180 = 8x (divide both sides by 8)
x= 22.5 (is your answer, or C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!,
First we now they both equal 135
There both in ()
there both addition
I hope it helped!
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines stand for absolute value ( how far a number is from 0), so each number should be a positive, then you just solve for x. Isolate x, then divide on both sides, and you should get -x=1, which is equal to x=-1.
Answer:
JL = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question that K is the midpoint of JL.
So, JK = KL ......... (1)
Now, given that, JK =3x - 1 and KL = 2x + 8
Therefore, from equation (1), we can write
3x - 1 = 2x + 8
⇒ x = 9
So, JK = 3x - 1 = 3(9) -1 = 26 and KL = 2x + 8 = 2(9) + 8 = 26
Hence, JL = JK + KL = 26 + 26 = 52. (Answer)
Difference means subtract, so we use subtraction:
*first we need to make the fractions have the same denominator
1/4 = 3/12
2/3 = 8/12
126(3/12) - 78(8/12)
*since the fraction in the first term is smaller than the second, make it improper
125(15/12) - 78(8/12)
now simply subtract:
125 - 78
= 47
15 - 8
= 7
* this is now (7/12)
now put them back together:
47(7/12)
That's the final answer!
