12. x= 4
13. x= 4
14. x= -1
Check the steps in the picture above
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
=
=
( cross- multiply )
8(3x - 20) = 56
24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9
500 seconds is greater. Since there are 60 seconds in one minute you would multiply 60 and 8.
60x8= 480
1 1/3 - 5/6
Find common demoninator which is 6.
Then do 2*1=2.
Now you got 2/6 - 5/6 = -3/6
Simplify:
-3/6=-1/2
Then combined answers.
1 - 1/2 = 1/2
Final answer is 1/2
