Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation simplifies to -2x+8 so p should be replaced with -2
(x-3)^2 + (x+5)^2=9^2
(x^2-6x+9) + (x^2+10x+25)=81
2x^2+4x+34=81
2x^2+4x-47=0
From here just use quadratic formula
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles with the same shape but different size are proportional. Proportional means that their side lengths form equal ratios. To solve for x, set up a proportion.
The ratios we will create will be
where each long and short are corresponding sides from each triangle.
So write:

To solve, cross multiply numerator with denominator.
4(2.25) = 3(x)
9 = 3x
3 =x
It is commutative property
