Answer:

x = $\frac{4}{5},5$

Step-by-step explanation:

If both the triangles ΔABC and ΔBCD are congruent,

Corresponding sides of both the triangles will be proportional.

$\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{AC}{CD}$

$\frac{5x}{3x+10}=\frac{5x-2}{4x+3}$

5x(4x + 3) = (5x - 2)(3x + 10)

20x² + 15x = 15x² + 50x - 6x - 20

20x² + 15x = 15x² + 44x - 20

20x² - 15x² = 44x - 15x - 20

5x² = 29x - 20

5x² - 29x + 20 = 0

5x² - 25x - 4x + 20 = 0

5x(x - 5) - 4(x - 5) = 0

(5x - 4)(x - 5) = 0

$x=\frac{4}{5},5$

Solve for q. 3(q − 7) = 27 q =

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The answer is, q = 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Divide both sides by 3.

$q - 7 = \frac{27}{3}$

2) Simplify 27/3 to 9.

$q - 7 = 9$

3) Add 7 to both sides.

$q = 9 + 7$

4) Simplify 9 + 7 to 16.

$q = 16$

Therefor, the answer is q = 16.

Answer:

The area of the triangle is 36 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can make the graph to set up the problem. You then plot the point 3,6 (A). You then reflect this over the Y axis which would be the point -3,6 (B). Point A is then reflected over the X axis to give you 3,-6 (C). You then multiply their total lengths 12 and 6 which is 72. Then you divide 72 by 2 because it is a triangle to get 36

What is the answer to this equation

joja [24]

Answer:

S = 9.9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply by -3 to remove fractions:

so:

S - 38.4 = -28.5

Take all values to one side by adding 38.4 to both sides

S = 9.9
