-47 = x + 15
Rearrange it to isolate x:
-47 - 15 = x
-62 = x
The slope is the number in front of the x. In this equation it is 1.
Answer:
segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MN
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, not congruent, so any answer choice with the word "congruent" can be ignored.
The sequence of letters in the triangle name tells you the corresponding segments:
- EF corresponds to LM
- EG corresponds to LN
- FG corresponds to MN
Corresponding segments have the same ratio, so ...
EF/LM = FG/MN . . . . . . matches the first answer choice
EF/LM = EG/LN . . . . does not match the 3rd answer choice
The answer of the equation is 18.
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
18:24 (comparing the same sides for the similar shapes; 18 and 24) when simplified down is equal to 3:4.
Using this 3:4 scale factor we can find the missing side x.
Solving for x :
× 16 = 12
x = 12
OR: Set up a proportion:
× 
<em>cross-multiply</em>
16 × 18 = 288
24 × x = 24x
288 = 24x
x = 12
