Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Base angles of Isosceles triangles are equal.

Equation

That means that 8x + 14 = 14x - 15

Solution

8x + 14 = 14x - 15              Add 15 to both sides

8x + 14+15 = 14x               Combine

8x + 29 = 14x                   Subtract 8x from both sides

8x - 8x + 29 = 14x - 8x    Combine

29 = 6x                            Divide by 6

x = 29/6

x = 4 5/6

Answer

x = 4 5/6 or 4.833

8x + 14 = 8 * (4 5/6)   +  14

8x + 14 = 38 2/3 + 14

8x + 14 = 52 2/3 or 52.6666

14x - 15 = 14 *(4 5/6) - 15

14x - 15 = 67 2/3   -15

14x - 15 = 52 2/3 or 52.666

What is the value of (-7 + 3i) - (2-6i)?
Doss [256]

Answer:

9 (i - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-7 + 3 i - (-6 i + 2)

-(2 - 6 i) = -2 + 6 i:

6 i - 2 - 7 + 3 i

-2 + 6 i - 7 + 3 i = (6 i + 3 i) + (-2 - 7) = -9 + 9 i:

9 i - 9

Factor 9 out of 9 i - 9 giving 9 (i - 1):

Answer:  9 (i - 1)

72 The length of a side of a triangle is 36. A line parallel to that side divides the triangle into two parts of equal area. Fin
katrin [286]

Answer:

  18√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle sharing a vertex with the larger one is similar and half the area. That means its linear dimensions are √(1/2) = (√2)/2 times those of the larger triangle.

The line segment of interest has length ...

  36 × (√2)/2 = 18√2

_____

The ratio of area of similar figures is the square of the ratio of their linear dimensions. Thus the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the ratio of area.
