Answer
x = 28
Explanation
3/8x + 15/2 = 18
Step 1. Subtract 15/2 from both sides
3/8x = 15/2 - 15/2 = 18 - 15/2
3/8x = 21/2
Step 2. Multiply both sides by 8/3
(8/3) * (3/8x) = (8/3) * (21/2)
Step 3. Answer
Therefore x is 28.
Answer: W= 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MN
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, not congruent, so any answer choice with the word "congruent" can be ignored.
The sequence of letters in the triangle name tells you the corresponding segments:
- EF corresponds to LM
- EG corresponds to LN
- FG corresponds to MN
Corresponding segments have the same ratio, so ...
EF/LM = FG/MN . . . . . . matches the first answer choice
EF/LM = EG/LN . . . . does not match the 3rd answer choice
