Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure, it is clear that the two triangles are similar to each other with QR = KL

As we know

QR = 3x+4 and KL = 15, we can derive the value of X

3X+4 = 15

X = 11/3

Jl = 2X + 10 = 2*11/3 +10 = 22 +30/3 = 52/3 = 18

hence, option C is correct

PLZ HELP ASAP Geometry help: 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 8x +10y +2=0

Alexxx [7]

Ok so this is conic sectuion
first group x's with x's and y's with y's
then complete the squra with x's and y's

2x^2-8x+2y^2+10y+2=0
2(x^2-4x)+2(y^2+5y)+2=0
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square
-4/2=-2, (-2)^2=4
5/2=2.5, 2.5^2=6.25
add that and negative inside

2(x^2-4x+4-4)+2(y^2+5y+6.25-6.25)+2=0
factor perfect squares
2((x-2)^2-4)+2((y+2.5)^2-6.25)+2=0
distribute
2(x-2)^2-8+2(y+2.5)^2-12.5+2=0
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2-18.5=0
add 18.5 both sides
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2=18.5
divide both sides by 2
(x-2)^2+(y+2.5)^2=9.25

that is a circle center (2,-2.5) with radius √9.25

If 5x-26=x+50, then the value of x is

horsena [70]

Let's work this problem out!

First: 5(x) - 26 - x + 50 = ?

Second: 4(x) - 76 = ?

Third: 4 = ?
↑
(Solve Step 3)

Fourth: x - 19 = 0
↑
(Add the number 19 to each of your sides for Step 4)

Finally we get to your answer

19 + 0 = 19 ; 19 - 19 = 0

So, therefore the value of "x" is 19

$x = 19$
