Okay as dumb=b as it sounds, i have the answer but i cannot type it out on the computer..... the way i got this answer was through an app called "photomath". download it!! trust me you wont be disappointing because you can solve formulas like this<span />
Answer:
k = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-18 = 5 - (6k - 19)
Step 2: Solve for <em>k</em>
<u>Distribute negative:</u> -18 = 5 - 6k + 19
<u>Combine like terms:</u> -18 = -6k + 24
<u>Subtract 24 on both sides:</u> -42 = -6k
<u>Divide both sides by -6:</u> k = 7
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in k to verify it's a solution.</em>
-18 = 5 - (6(7) - 19)
-18 = 5 - (42 - 19)
-18 = 5 - 23
-18 = -18
Answer:
x = 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this answer by assuming the triangles were congurent, if they are not, the answer may vary.
first, make an equation:
x + 8 = 3x - 9
bring 3x to the other side, by subtracting it
-2x + 8 = -9
Subtract 8
-2x = -17
divide by -2
x = 8.5
Then, just sub x into the formulas
