Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Description of triangle EFD</u>:
- Angle EFD: right angle (90º)
- x: adjacent leg to angle EDF
- 3: hypotenuse of triangle EFD
<u>Description of triangle EDG</u>:
- Angle EDG: right angle (90º)
- 4 adjacent leg to angle EGD
- 5: hypotenuse of triangle EDG
<u>Similarity</u>:
- Triangle EFD and triangle EGD are similar.
Then, since corresponding parts of similar triangles are proportional:
<u>Clear x</u>:
2(
x + 4) =
x + 4 which is the second option is the equivalent expression.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the value of two-fifths of x. It means 2 portions out of the five portions of x which equates to
x.
Now we calculate the values of the two expresssions on the LHS.
1) 2 (two-fifths x + 2) = 2 (
x + 2) =
x + 4.
2) (two-fifths x + 4) = 2(
x + 4) =
x + 8.
Now we determine values of the four expressions on the RHS.
1) Two and two-fifths x + 1 = 2
x + 1
2) Four-fifths x + 4 =
x + 4
3) Four-fifths x + 2 =
x + 2
4) Two and two-fifths x + 8 = 2
x + 8.
Out of the various LHS and RHS values, the
LHS value and
RHS value is the same. So option 2 is the answer.
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
4 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 16 ounces in a pound, so divide 64 by 16 to get the number of pounds. 64 ÷ 16 = 4 lbs
