Answer:

-9

Step by step explanation:

it can also be written as; 18 over x is equal to -2 over 1

you cross multiply to get 18 = -2x

then multiply through with -2; 18 over -2 = -2x over -2

you cross out; -2 cancels itself and -2 goes into 18 , -9 times

Therefore; the answer is -9

The heights of two similar parallelograms are 16 inches and 20 inches. Their

Fittoniya [83]

Answer: $x=\dfrac{25}{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram = Base x height

If two parallelograms are similar, then their corresponding sides are proportional.

That means, $\dfrac{\text{Area of first parallleogram}}{\text{Area of second parallleogram}}=\dfrac{\text{height of first parallelogram}}{\text{height of second parallelogram}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x+5}{9x}=\dfrac{16}{20}\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x+5}{9x}=\dfrac{4}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow 5(3x+5)=4(9x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 15x+25 = 36x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 36x-15x=25\\\\\Rightarrow\ 21x = 25\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{25}{21}$

Hence, $x=\dfrac{25}{21}$

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-2}{0-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{1-2}{0+2}\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}$
