Answer:

x=1,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We\ are\ given\ that,\\4x+5=x(x+8)\\Hence\ by\ expanding\ the\ terms,\\4x+5=x^2+8x\\Hence\ by\ moving\ 4x\ and\ 5 to\ the\ RHS\ ,\\0=x^2+8x-4x-5\\Hence\ by\ simplifying\ the\ RHS,\\0=x^2+4x-5\\Now,\\We\ take\ a\ closer\ look\ at\ the\ RHS,\\x^2+4x-5\ can\ also\ be\ written\ as:\\=x^2+5x-x-5\\Now, By\ factorizing,\\x(x+5)-1(x+5)\\=(x-1)(x+5)\\Hence,\\(x-1)(x+5)=0\\Now,\\To\ nullify\ the\ LHS\ to\ 0,\ either\ the\ term\ (x-1)\ or/and\ (x+5)\ should\ equate\ to\ 0.\\Hence,\\x-1=0\\x=1\ is\ our\ first\ solution\\(x+5)=0\\x=-5\ is\ our\ second\ solution\\Hence,\\x=1,-5

Question 3 of 10 A Assume EFG = JKL. If mLJ = 90°, mL K = 26°, and m< L = 64°, what is the measure of < E?
kumpel [21]

The measure of angle E will be 90 degrees as well.

Assume EFG = JKL.

If mLJ = 90°, mL K = 26°, and m< L = 64°,

<h3>What is the congruent triangle?</h3>

Two triangles are said to be congruent if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.

We have been given an image of two congruent triangles.

Since, EFG = JKL

therefore, the corresponding angles will be congruent.

m < J = 90° = m< E = 90

By congruence measure of angle, J will be equal to the measure of angle E.

Hence, The measure of angle E will be 90 degrees as well.

Kevin hiked up lambs Canyon and two hours and then ran back down in one hour has been running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than
coldgirl [10]

Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.

His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8

Distance = speed × time

Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x

He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =

x + 2.8

Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then

2x = x + 2.8

2x - x = 2.8

x = 2.8

Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is

2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles

Adding fractions with unlike denominators ?
iren [92.7K]
The fractions you start with have to be re-written with the same (common) denominator.

For example, if you were asked to add 3/5 and 6/7, you would:

1) Identify the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD):  Here it is 5*7 = 35.

2) Multiply both numerator and denom. of 3/5 by 7:  21/35

3) Mult. both num. and denom. of 6/7 by 5:  30/35

4) Combine these two equivalent fractions:   21/35 + 30/35 = 51/35 (answer)

 Try a few such problems yourself and write back if you need further help.
