Given:
DE = (6x - 9) cm
EF = (4x + 4) cm
LM = 14 cm
MN = 16 cm
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
<em>If three or more parallel lines intersect two transversals, then they cut off the transversals proportionally.</em>


Do cross multiplication.


Add 144 on both sides.


Subtract 56x from both sides.


Divide by 40 on both sides, we get

The value of x is 5.
11.3 feet.
12 squared (144) minus 4 squared (16) is equal to 128. The square root of 128 is approximately 11.3.
Equation:
x/3 = x/8 + 2/3
---
Multiply thru by 24 to get:
8x = 3x + 16
5x = 16
x = 3 1/5

Answer:
6 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/3 as a mixed number is 8/3
3 3/4 as a mixed number is 15/4
To make the 2 fractions have a common denominator, they become:
32/12 and 45/12
to add them up it will be: 77/12 which can be written as 6 5/12
