Answer: x = 2
=============================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below.
I've added points D,E,F,G. This helps with labeling the segments and angles, and identifying the proper triangles (to see which are congruent pairs).
Triangle GEA is congruent to triangle GFA. We can prove this using the AAS congruence theorem. We have AG = AG as the pair of congruent sides, and the congruent pairs of angles are marked in the diagram (specifically the blue pairs of angles and the gray right angle markers)
Since triangle GEA is congruent to triangle GFA, this means the corresponding pieces segment GF and GE are the same length.
The diagram shows GF = 3x-4, so this means GE = 3x-4 as well.
----------------------
Through similar steps, we can show that triangle GEC is congruent to triangle GDC. We also use AAS here as well.
The congruent triangles lead to GD = GE. So GD = 3x-4. The diagram shows that GD = 6x-10
Since GD is equal to both 3x-4 and 6x-10, this must mean the two expressions are equal.
----------------------
Now let's solve for x
6x-10 = 3x-4
6x-3x = -4+10
3x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 2
Answer:
$35 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that 3 rides costs $21. If you then take 21/3 you get 7, you're then going to take 7x5 and you will get 35. Therefore 5 rides on the MoonCoaster cost $35. Hope this helps!
The slope would be -5, I will explain if you would like me to
Answer:
y = 12x - 37
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
here m = 12, thus
y = 12x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, - 1) into the partial equation
- 1 = 36 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 36 = - 37
y = 12x - 37 ← is the equation of the line
