Answer:

? = 130

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm letting ? be x

Since the triangles are similar, larger outer and smaller inner, then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

If x is the length of side of larger then x - 70 is corresponding length of smaller.

Then

\frac{x}{x-70} = \frac{78}{36} ( cross- multiply )

78(x - 70) = 36x ← distribute left side

78x - 5460 = 36x ( subtract 36x from both sides )

42x - 5460 = 0 ( add 5460 to both sides )

42x = 5460 ( divide both sides by 42 )

x = 130

Topic: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

an equation perpendicular to the equation given will have a slope of -1, because a perpendicular slope is opposite and reciprical. if it goes through the point 4,-1 and has a slope of -1, the y intercept has to be 3. y = -x + 3

parallel lines have to have the same slope of 3.

What is the answer to this question someone help pls: Find three consecutive integers whose sum is -30
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

  -11, -10, -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle one is their average, -30/3 = -10. The three integers are -11, -10, -9.

_____

I like to work "consecutive integer" problems using the average value of the integers involved. The average of <u>two</u> consecutive integers is 1/2 more than the small one, and 1/2 less than the large one, for example. Here, there are <u>three</u> consecutive integers, so their average is the middle one.

If you want to write that using an equation, you can let x represent the middle integer. Then the sum is ...

  (x -1) +(x) + (x+1) = 3x = -30

  x = -30/3 = -10 . . . . . the same average we computed above.

  x -1 = -11 . . . . . the smaller of the other two integers

  x +1 = -9 . . . . . the larger of the other two integers
