Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
AC=3x+3 AB=-1+2x and BC=11
AC = AB + BC
ALL THE STEPS:
3 X + 3 = - 1 + 2 X + 11
3 X + 3 = 2 X + 10
3 X + ( - 2 X ) + 3 = 2 X + ( - 2 X ) + 10
X + 3 = 10
X + 3 + ( - 3 ) = 10 + ( - 3 )
X = 7
For example, if x/2=7, x would be equal to 7x2=14, bringing the whole number the variable is divided by to the other side of the equation.
Let's create this right triangle. We will call it triangle ABC with angle B as the right angle, angle A being the larger of the angles A and C. If the ratio is 5:4, then it is A:C. 5+4 = 9. The measure of the right angle, angle ABC = 90, and 90 divided by 9 is 10. So angle A is 5 * 10 which is 50 degrees, and angle C is 4 * 10 which is 40 degrees. The smallest angle, angle C, is 40 degrees.
5? 5 times 5 is 10, which is less than 12
