If ABC and EDC are similar, what is the value of x? A

Mathematics
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values

3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15

josan and andrea are on a long distance bike ride. they decide they will stop for water if either of thier water bottles is less
nevsk [136]
If it is less than full it means it is anything below 5/5 or 6/6, so they both have less than full water bottles...

If you meant less than half full, Josan has 0.5/5 less than half, so yes, They should stop in this case as well.
