Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ TSU and Δ TRV are similar , thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{TS}{TR}$ = $\frac{TU}{TV}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{x+16}$ = $\frac{5}{15}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

3x = x + 16 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

-5(x - 4) + 6 = 5(3x+4) -4

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x - 4) + 6 = 5(3x+4) -4

WE APPLY DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

-5*x +5*4 + 6 = 5*3x +5*4 -4

-5x + 26 = 15x +20 -4

26 +4 -20=15x+5x

10=20x

x= 10/20

we have:

x=1/2
