Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the -18.
Through cross-multiplication, -18/1 x -3/2 simplifies into -9/1 x -3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into -18 -9 times).
-9 x -3 = 27; therefore, x = 27
D
is certainly wrong. You could extend the length of AD as far as you want and the two triangles (ABD and ACD) would still be congruent.
C
is wrong as well. The triangles might be similar, but they are more. They are congruent.
B
You don't have to prove that. It is given on the way the diagram is marked.
A
A is your answer. The two triangles are congruent by SAS
A) 38*(1-20%)*(1-10%)=27.36
b)38*(1-30%)=26.6
c)Because in question one when you take off the 10% it is 10% of the already off price but when you take off 30% it is taking off from the original price
