Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If ABC similar to EDC then we can use the similarity ratio to find the value of x

32/(3x-5) = 56/(5x-5) cross multiply the fractions

160x - 160 = 168x - 280 export like terms to the same side of the equation

280 - 160 = 168x - 160x

120 = 8x divide both sides by 8

15 = x

Which of the following are factors of x^2+5x+4

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

(x + 4) and (x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 5x + 4

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)

The factors are 4 and 1 , since

4 × 1 = 4 and 4 + 1 = 5 , then

x² + 5x + 4 = (x + 4)(x + 1) ← in factored form

ExtremeBDS [4]

1/5 (150x - 80y + 50 - 50x - 25y + 20) = 20x - 21y + 14
what I did is combined the like terms and multiplied each term within the parenthesis by .2
