Answer:
ST = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT
Step 1: Define
RS = 17
ST = x + 6
RT = 3x - 5
Step 2: Set up equation
mRS + mST = mRT
17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5
Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>
x + 23 = 3x - 5
23 = 2x - 5
28 = 2x
x = 14
Step 3: Find mST
ST = x + 6
ST = 14 + 6
ST = 20
Answer: 9x-3x and 5x+x
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Brianna's thinking is incorrect because of course, when x is 0, the expression will equal whatever value isn't an x term. To find equivalent expression, you actually need to find which expressions have the same amount of x terms and the same value.
2. Expressions A and C are equivalent.
3. Expression A can be simplified, as you can do 9x - 3x = 6x, so your final expression would be 6x - 4. Expression C can also be simplified with 5x + x = 6x, which can then also be written as 6x - 4. This means both expressions have the same amount of x terms, and the same value, so they are equivalent.
You said worth 20, but it’s worth 10 soo
I think you would just have to find the square roots
