Answer: x=7

ab=21

bc=14

Step-by-step explanation:

ab=3x

bc=2x±7

ac=42

3x±2x±7=42

5x±7=42

5x=42-7

5x=35

to get the value of x you divide 35 by 5x

35÷5x=7

so the value of x is 7

ab=3x

x=7

3x=7×3x

7×3=21

x=7

2x=7×2x

2×7=14

Work out the area of the trapezium ABDE. B 9 cm 6 cm 8 cm →D E

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Area of the trapezium ABDE = 30 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h$

Here, $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the parallel sides of the trapezium

h = Distance between the parallel sides

From the picture attached,

ΔCAE and ΔCBD are the similar triangles.

So by the property of similarity their sides will be proportional.

$\frac{AE}{BD}= \frac{CE}{CD}$

$\frac{9}{6}=\frac{CE}{8}$

CE = $\frac{9\times 8}{6}$

CE = 12 cm

Therefore, DE = CE - CD

DE = 12 - 8 = 4 cm

Now area of trapezium ABDE = $\frac{1}{2}(AE+BD)(DE)$

= $\frac{1}{2}(6+9)4$

= 30 cm²

Therefore, area of the trapezium ABDE = 30 cm²

Answer this math question pls I'm in a rush

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

61/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the mixed fraction an improper fraction first. So instead of 1 1/3, it'll be 4/3.

Now in a rectangular prism, there's two of each congruent sides (three pairs in total).

You'll need to multiply (4/3)(3/4) by 2 because there's two of them.

This gives you (1)(2) which equals 2.

Next, take another set --> (4/3)(1/3)(2) again because there's two of them.

This gives you (4/9)(2) which equals 8/9.

Last, take the last set --> (3/4)(1/3)(2)

This gives you (1/4)(2) which equals 1/2.

Now that you have all the areas of the rectangles, add them all together.

2+8/9+1/2 which equals 61/18 inches squared.

Answer:

The given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$ reduces to $\frac{x-1}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$

We have to reduce the fraction to the lowest terms.

Consider numerator $x^3-x^2$

We can take x² common from both the term,

Thus, numerator can be written as $x^2(x-1)$

Given expression can be rewritten as ,

$\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^3}$

We can now cancel $x^2$ from both numerator and denominator,

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^3}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^2 \cdot x}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{(x-1)}{x^2 \cdot x}=\frac{x-1}{x}$

Thus, the given fraction $\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}$ reduces to $\frac{x-1}{x}$
