The coefficient of 10x and the last term 16 is what we'll focus on. Specifically just the numbers only (ignore the variable x for now).
Think of two numbers that both multiply to 16, and also add to 10. Those two numbers are 8 and 2 (in any order). You basically find this through trial and error.
8 + 2 = 10
8 * 2 = 16
So it factors to (x+8)(x+2). Since order of multiplication does not matter, this is the same as (x+2)(x+8)
Answer:
The value of x is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
we know taht
<u>The intersecting chords theorem</u> states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.
so
In this problem
solve for x
Answer:
n+14
Step-by-step explanation:
To write an expression, we often have to interpret a written phrase. For example, the phrase “6 added to some number” can be written as the expression x + 6, where the variable x represents the unknown number.
Hello Alondra,
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the ratios formed by the similar triangles.
Or proportion can be:
x/(x+2) = 10/15
Cross multiply to solve it:
10x + 20 = 15x
20 = 5x
4 = x
The value of x is 4.
I hope this helps,
