Step-by-step explanation:

$3(x + 4) = - 18 \\ (x + 4) = \frac{ - 18}{3 } \\ (x + 4) = - 6 \\ x = - 6 - 4 \\ x = - 10$

Answer:

x = -10

3(x + 4) = -18

3x + 12 = -18

3x = -18-12

3x = -30

x= -30/3

x = -10

The area of the triangle is 28.7 square centimeters. What is the base length of the triangle in centimeters?

Montano1993 [528]

In order to derive the base of a triangle from its area, you need its height as well.

In fact, if we solve the area formula for the base, we have

$A=\dfrac{bh}{2} \iff 2A = bh \iff b=\dfrac{2a}{h}$

So, the base length would be

$b=\dfrac{2\cdot 28.7}{h} = \dfrac{57.4}{h}$

where h is the height relative to the base you're interested in.

Solve and check 8-(6-8x) =4x+4

navik [9.2K]

Greetings!

"Solve and check $8-(6-8x)=4x+4$ "...

Solve for x:
 $8-(6-8x)=4x+4$
Remove the Parenthesis.
$8-6-8x=4x+4$
Simplify.
$2-8x=4x+4$
Add -4 to both sides.
$(2-8x)+(-4)=(4x+4)+(-4)$
Simplify.
$-2-8x=4x$
Add 8x to both sides.
$(-2-8x)+8x=(4x)+8x$
Simplify.
$-2=12x$
Divide both sides by 12.
$(-2)/12=(12x)/12$
Simplify.
$-0.166666667=x$

The answer is: x=-0.166666667

Hope this helps.

Point O is the center of the circle. What is the value of X? Answer options: 24, 15, 27, 20

Tanya [424]

Answer: FIRST OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem. By definition, when a secant line and a tangent lline and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point:

$(Tangent\ line)^2=(Secant\ line)(External\ Secant\ line)$
