X=8.
Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF. The ratio would be:
24/(x-2) = 20/5
Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)
Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40
Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x
Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x
ok thats cool ig what do you need help with
Answer:
The other endpoint is (-33, 17)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of the mid-point of a segment whose endpoints are
(
,
) and (
,
) is
In our question
∵ The coordinates of the endpoints of a segment are (-15, 13) and (x, y)
∴
= -15 and
= x
∴
= 13 and
= y
∵ The coordinates of the mid-point of this segment are (-24, 15)
∴
= -24 and
= 15
→ Use the rule of the mid-point to find x and y
∵ 
→ Multiply both sides by 2
∴ -48 = -15 + x
→ Add 15 to both sides
∴ -33 = x
∵ 
→ Multiply both sides by 2
∴ 30 = 13 + y
→ Subtract 13 from both sides
∴ 17 = y
∴ The other endpoint is (-33, 17)
