Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides are proportional.

  BE/CD = AE/AD

  20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)

  20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)

In standard form, this is ...

  3x^2 -15x -528 = 0

  x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3

  (x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor

  x = 16

__

This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.

What is 0.65 as a fraction in simplest form?
Doss [256]
Well 0.65 as a percentage is 65% which is 65/100. So in the simplest for it would be the highest number going into both which would be 5 and then divide both numbers by 5.
65/5=13
100/5=20
So the answer for this question would be 13/20

A circular race track has a radius of 200 feet a car drives 50 laps around the track approximately how many miles does the car t
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

  11.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the track is ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(200 ft) = 400π ft

Then the length of 50 laps will be ...

  50C = 50·(400π ft) = 20,000π ft ≈ 62,831.9 ft

The number of miles (m) this is can be found from ...

  m(5280 ft) = 62,831.9 ft

  m = 62,831.9/5280 ≈ 11.90 . . . . miles

50 laps is about 11.9 miles.
