Use the side-splitter theorem to solve for x in the triangle below.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the side-splitter theorem, the two sides of the triangle is divided proportionally if the line that intersects both sides is parallel to the third side of the ∆.

Therefore, based on this theorem, we would have the following:

\frac{x}{21} = \frac{8}{24}

Solve for x

\frac{x}{21} = \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both sides by 21

\frac{x}{21}*21 = \frac{1}{3}*21

x = \frac{21}{3}

x = 7

-2(x^2-3x+1x-3)

Collecting like terms

-2(x^2-3x)+(x-3)

-2(x(x-3)+1(x-3))

-2(x+1)(x-3)

hence  -2(x+1)(x-3) is the Greatest Common factor of  -2x^2-4x-6 is
