Answer: <em>x = 1.25</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>HF - is the middle line of the triangle ABC.</em>

HF=\dfrac{1}{2} AB\\\\HF=4x+1\\AB=12x-3\\\\4x+1=\dfrac{1}{2}  \cdot (12x-3)\\\\4x+1=\dfrac{12x-3}{2} \\\\(4x+1) \cdot 2 =12x-3\\8x+2=12x-3\\8x+2-12x=12x-3-12x\\-4x+2=-3\\-4x+2-2=-3-2\\-4x=-5\\-4x \cdot (-1)=-5 \cdot (-1)\\4x=5\\4x \div 4=5 \div 4\\x=1.25

xz_007 [3.2K]
Let 
C=Cynthia's age today
A=Abigail's age today

then
at all times
A=C+8......................(1)
twenty years ago,
A-20=3(C-20)
simplifying
A=3C-40...................(2)

Equate (1) and (2),
C+8=3C-40
8+40=3C-C
C=24
=> 
A=32

Check:  A-C=8... ok   A-20=12  C-20=4  => (A-20)=3(C-20) ...ok

If a rectangle has a length of 4x and a width of x+5 what is the perimeter?
Paul [167]

Answer:

10x + 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you can simply add up the length and width, and then multiply that sum by 2. The sum of the dimensions is 4x + (x + 5) = 5x + 5 and two times that would then be 2(5x + 5) = 10x + 10.
