x = 37.5 (or) 
Solution:
Given 
AC = 50, DE = 30, EC = 25, BE = x, BC = 25 + x
To find the value of x:
Property of similar triangles:
If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.


Do cross multiplication, we get


Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.

Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get
x = 37.5 (or) 
Hence the value of x is 37.5 or
.
<span>There is a decrease of 20% from ÂŁ800 to ÂŁ640.
A change from 800 to 640 represents a negative change (decrease) of -20% Using the formula :
Percent change = [(800 - 640) / 800] x 100 = -20 % (decrease)
800 is the old value and 640 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -20 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.</span>
It would be 0 because as you go along it doesn't go up but keeps moving. An undefined slope is up and down/vertical.

Discount = Regular price × % discount

Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + x=2
Subtract 2 from each side
x^2 + x-2=2-2
x^2 + x-2=0
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to -2 and add to 1
2*-1 = -2
2+-1 =1
(x-1)(x+2)=0
Using the zero product property
x-1 = 0 x+2 = 0
x=1 x = -2
Product of the roots
1*-2 = -2
